Graphics for Data Quality
Learn about the importance of positional accuracy in graphics for data quality through real-world examples, focusing on vertical and horizontal accuracy. Discover why accurate positioning matters, using the location of a monument as an example. Compare published coordinates (NAD83(86) and NAD83(HARN)) with the true location determined by GPS coordinates. Explore the accuracy of a monument at DFW Airport Bldg with a GPS target scale of 1:850 and a scale of 1:50, where each pixel represents 1.6 feet.
