Ground Control Accuracy
CDI offers three levels of data collection to meet client
needs. Sub-meter accuracy offers little help to a 15-cm
resolution digital orthophoto project; in the same fashion,
Centimeter accuracy ground control is drastic overkill for
0.8 meter satellite image support. We offer full consulting
services to aid our clients in determining the accuracy
standard and collection density for any given project.
As GPS technology has advanced, the accuracy of our collected
points has increased as well. As we transitioned from Trimble
ProXRS receivers to GeoXH receivers, we have seen an appreciable
increase in resultant observed accuracies.
An accuracy assessment is provided to demonstrate the horizontal
and vertical accuracies for each point collected. As we
continue our collection processes with better equipment
and more robust satellite constellations, we expect our
accuracy levels to increase as a result.
Sub-meter
Accuracy
• Horizontal Accuracy: 50 cm
• Vertical Accuracy: 70 cm
Sub-meter accuracy is appropriate when the ground sample distance
of the imagery is 1-meter or greater.
Decimeter
Accuracy
• Horizontal Accuracy: 10 cm
• Vertical Accuracy: 10 cm
Decimeter accuracy is appropriate when the ground sample distance
of the imagery is less than 1-meter.
Centimeter
Accuracy
• Horizontal Accuracy: 2 cm
• Vertical Accuracy: 4 cm
Centimeter accuracy is appropriate when the ground sample
distance of the imagery is 15 - 30 cm.
