The Georectification of the Ukho Admiralty Chart 5080 of Lough Derg Derek Baitson

The purpose of this book is to develop, apply and evaluate a method by which the Admiralty Chart 5080 of Lough Derg can be transformed to a GNSS compatible version, with the end product being a digital file containing the Admiralty Chart and all the relevant spatial information needed. The book is focused on the different transformations methods where-by the paper version of the Admiralty Chart can be transformed to its equivalent digital version in GNSS compatible ITM coordinates. The book used the OSi Discover Series, 1:50,000 ITM mapping to georeference the Admiralty Chart that has no known coordinate reference system.
