Rubber sheeting a procedure to adjust the features of a coverage in a nonuniform manner.
Gis rubber sheeting.
It is slightly faster and produces good results when you have many rubbersheet links spread uniformly over the data.
Rubber sheeting may improve the value of such sources and make them easier to compare to modern maps.
Before aerial photography arrived most maps were highly inaccurate by modern standards.
Links representing from and to locations are used to define the adjustment see also link.
See about spatial adjustment rubbersheeting for more details.
Rubber sheeting a procedure for adjusting the coordinates of all the data points in a dataset to allow a more accurate match between.
Rubber sheeting is a technique for edge matching and is another name for warping.
Rubber sheeting is commonly used after a transformation to further refine the alignment accuracy of the transformed features.
Rubber sheeting is necessary because the imagery and the vector data will rarely match up correctly due to various reasons such as the angle at which the image was taken the curvature of the surface of the earth minor movements in the imaging platform such as a satellite or aircraft and other errors in the imagery.
The method parameter determines the interpolation method used to create the temporary tins in rubbersheeting.
Linear this method creates a quick tin surface but does not really take into account the neighborhood.
For steps to transform features using affine or similarity transformation methods see transform features.
