Advanced Data Creation and Editing

This chapter will provide you with a number of advanced ways to create vector and raster data. We will see explanations and step-by-step examples of mapping raw coordinate data, geocoding address-based data, georeferencing imagery, validating vector data with topological rules, and topological editing. With the topics covered up to this point, you will be able to work with a variety of vector, raster, and tabular input data. You will also see advanced ways to create vector and raster data. There is a great deal of spatial data held in tabular format. Readers will learn how to map coordinate-based and address-based data. Other common sources of geospatial data are historic aerial photographs and maps, in a hardcopy format. You will learn how to georefer scanned imagery and transform it into a target coordinate reference system. The final...
