Some Factors Affecting Mensuration Variability Among Image Interpreters

Abstract

Variability in object measurement could be attributed to individual techniques of image interpreters, differences in choice of measuring scale, magnification power, object size, imagery scale, or some combination of these. The specific objectives of this exploratory study were: (1) To establish the mensuration performance of experienced image interpreters. (2) To determine which combination of scale and/or magnification power results in the least amount of mensuration variability. (3) To determine how imagery scale and/or object size influence mensuration variability.
