Rubber sheeting a procedure to adjust the features of a coverage in a nonuniform manner.
Gis rubber sheeting.
Links representing from and to locations are used to define the adjustment see also link.
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.
Before aerial photography arrived most maps were highly inaccurate by modern standards.
Rubber sheeting a procedure for adjusting the coordinates of all the data points in a dataset to allow a more accurate match between.
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.
See about spatial adjustment rubbersheeting for more details.
The method parameter determines the interpolation method used to create the temporary tins in rubbersheeting.
Spatial adjustment rubbersheeting makes small geometric adjustments in your data usually to align features with more accurate information.
Linear this method creates a quick tin surface but does not really take into account the neighborhood.
Rubber sheeting is commonly used after a transformation to further refine the alignment accuracy of the transformed features.
Rubber sheeting is a technique for edge matching and is another name for warping.
