Georeferencing Notes

1. Georeferencing done on a data frame with SVY21 geographic coordinate system.

2. Openstreet map (OSM) basemap was used for georeferencing road junctions while satellite imagery was used for geomorphological features.

3. Results

   • 2005 Sheet 1 (20 GCPs)

     First order polynomial (Affine Transformation) - RMSE: 0.00006.21022

     All GCPs are of road features like junctions, end points or inflexions.

   • 2005 Sheet 2 (20 GCPs)

     First order polynomial (Affine Transformation) - RMSE: 0.000223565

     All GCPs are of road features like junctions, end points or inflexions.

   • 2005 Sheet 3 (15 GCPs)

     First order polynomial (Affine Transformation) - RMSE: 0.0000 811761

     12/15 GCPs are of road features like junctions, end points (jetties) or inflexions.

     2/15 GCPs are of geomorphological features (coastline of Pulau Tekong).

     1/15 GCP is of a swimming pool.

   • 2005 Sheet 4 (20 GCPs)

     First order polynomial (Affine Transformation) - RMSE: 0.0000 593412

     All GCPs are of road features like junctions, end points or inflexions.

   • 2005 Sheet 5 (20 GCPs)

     First order polynomial (Affine Transformation) - RMSE: 0.0000 521827

     All GCPs are of road features like junctions, end points or inflexions.

   • 2005 Sheet 7

     First order polynomial (Affine Transformation) - RMSE: 0.0000440331

     13/20 GCPs are of road features like junctions, end points (jetties) or inflexions.

     7/20 GCPs are of geomorphological features (coastline of Southern Islands).

4. Issues

   • SVY_21 could not be assigned to .jpg images as these would result in an inconsistent extent.

   • The problem is a result of .jpg file format instead of .tiff.

5. Notes

   • 2005 Sheet 6 was not georeferenced as the area covers only sea.
