CompassData 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.

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.
