FEATURE ORIENTATION AND POSITIONAL ACCURACY ASSESSMENT OF DIGITAL ORTHOPHOTO AND LINE MAP FOR URBAN LAND REGISTRATION: THE CASE STUDY ON BAHIR DAR TOWN, ETHIOPIA
This study used in-situ GPS data to validate the accuracy of horizontal coordinates and orientation of linear features of orthophoto and line map for Bahir Dar city. GPS data is processed using GAMIT/GLOBK and Lieca GeoOfice (LGO) in a least square sense with a tie to local and regional GPS reference stations to predict horizontal coordinates at five checkpoints. Real-Time-Kinematic GPS measurement technique is used to collect the coordinates of road centerline to test the accuracy associated with the orientation of the photogrammetric line map.
