Planimetric areas Explanation: Area A – The field sloped downwards, this area was at the top of the slope and adjoining the car-park. The weather was dry while working on this section. Its planimetric area is 2,200 m2 http://www.fig.net/pub/fig_2002/TS6-2/TS6_2_roberts_ogundipe... Good luck! -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 43 mins (2009-01-27 20:35:39 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Planimetric area Two-dimensional measurement of an area that does not account for topographic relief and is the standard New Zealand survey assumption used to determine land area. http://www.climatechange.govt.nz/glossary.html In practice, habitat area is generally measured as a planimetric area taken from an established basemap. In reality, the planimetric area is a nonlinear approximation of the actual surface area occupied by a given habitat, since the planimetric area represents a projection of the actual surface topography onto a plane surface (i.e., the map sheet). The purpose of this paper is to quantify the magnitude of error that can arise from using the traditional planimetric method of area estimation. Results indicate that estimates based on planimetric areas consistently underestimate true habitat areas by 5-65 percent http://gis.esri.com/library/userconf/proc06/papers/abstracts... |
