Structuring and validation of photogrammetric territorial data
Abstract
In the loving memory of Mariasofia Paparo, this publication focuses on the validation procedures of photogrammetric geographic information and the production and interpretation of complex reports, which are essential for handling the vast amount of generated data. Furthermore, sources of error in the structuring of geographic data and the quality parameters and conformity criteria necessary for the utilization of such data within the national geodatabase have been investigated.
Keyword : geographic database, data quality, INSPIRE, photogrammetry, GeoUML, quality controls, ISO/TC 211
