Quality The mapping was generated by analytical stereo plotting from aerial photography flown at 600 m and 4500 m on 11, 12 February 1997. The spatial data coverage is complete for the entire dataset. A topographical consistency check was carried out by the photogrammetrist. ArcInfo (GIS software) was used to do a topological consistency check. This check insures that all polygons are closed, nodes are ... View entire text
