• To select the existing stones along Municipal boundary which are

distinctly visible on image captured by drone.

ACTIVITY-5
• Some of the selected points preferably protected Government

properties, municipal properties etc., will be used as GCPs to process
the drone captured images and the remaining points will be used as
checkpoints.
• The selected points shall be uniformly distributed at definite nterval

to test check the Ortho Rectified Image (ORI) generated from drone
images.
• GCP survey planning should meet the requirements of drone flying

and processing of drone image for accurate ORI generation.
• The following are important points that should be considered

in GCP survey planning:
• Mark locations of stones on the wards in Town map to ensure uniform

distribution of GCPs.
• At least 2 uniformly distributed GCPs are recommended including

ORI quality check points for each ward covering the entire municipal
boundary.
• To ensure uniform distribution of GCPs, if stones are not available at

the desired location, typical checker board can be fixed to ground
(as shown below). It is important checkerboards should not be
disturbed till drone flying is completed.
• In case of buildings where no setbacks are left, the terrace parapet

wall corners may be marked. In case of setbacks left by owners, the
compound wall corners may be marked.In
• The objective is to create a visible feature on the area that is being

flown. The GCP should be visible on the image. If GCP points cannot
be clearly seen in the drone image, it cannot be accurately marked
for processing.
• Every GCP/check point will be assigned unique number as GCP ID.

ACTIVITY-9
selected shall be measured on ORI and compare with Geo-coordinates
arrived by using Rover and fill the data in Form-13. It should be
certified by the Supervisory Teams.
• Therefore, few points on the ground at random shall be selected and
measured using Rover. The same points shall be measured on ORI
and compare both the data in Form - 13.
• These prominent features shall be selected at random and uniformly
distributed covering areas in the entire ULB to test the ORI of the
ULB as a single entity.
• These features shall be measured with measuring Tape / Rover / ETS
etc., on Ground and to be noted in Form –10.
• The variation in point position and the distance between two points
should be within the prescribed accuracy (±5 cm). If the variation
exceeds, return the ORI to Agency for further processing.
• The quality check of ORI shall be for linear measurements between
any two points and positional accuracy of the checkpoints or selected
features by comparing the data observed by rover and data obtained
from ORI. The difference between these two modes of data should
not exceed the accuracy parameters desired for cadastral surveys.
• The Geo-Coordinates of these check points/selected features shall
be observed using rover and recorded. The same check points/
selected features shall be measured from ORI. Compare both these
measurements and record the feasibility report.

ACTIVITY-9
• If the difference of these measurements of two modes are within
accuracyparameters the ORI is feasible for conducting Ground
Truthing, otherwise return the ORI for reprocessing to generate ORI
second time.

ACTIVITY-10: GROUND TRUTHING
Introduction:
• Ground Truthing is the verification of individual land parcels and

corresponding textual revenue data physically on the ground by the
Ward Level Survey Team in the presence of Property Owners/
Stakeholders and recording the Geo-Coordinates of each Land Parcel/
Property Parcel based on ORI / GPS Rovers.
• The main objective of Ground Truthing is the demarcation of

Undisputed Permanent boundaries of individual Land Parcels based
on ORI, GPS Rovers and POLR data and to assign the Chalta Number
and Land Parcel/ Property Parcel Number and to further generate
Land Parcel Map/ Property Parcel Map.
• Ground Truthing shall be conducted using ORI irrespective of pass or

fail for accuracy Parameters in quality check subject to condition
that the supplied ORI shall have good contrast, sharpness and every
boundary is clearly distinguishable. The boundary extraction by
vectorization shall only be carried out on ORIs giving the desired
accuracy parameters i.e., the ORI found feasible in field testing,
after completion of Ground Truthing.
