This paper critically discuses current methods for processing original content of analogue geodetic plans, in terms of identifying and removing geometric deformation and georeferencing of geodetic ...plans. The effects produced by the use of various transformation models for data in new survey geodetic plans were considered in detail in a characteristic testing area in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The best results of the overall accuracy of geodetic plan transformation are achieved by using local transformational models, which successfully removed the distortions caused by the deformation of plan supporting materials and scanning errors.
The fortress Kaštel (Fenarlik), located between Novi Travnik and Bugojno, probably was built in the period of middle ages. Concerning cartographic sources, it first appeared in 1883. Geodetic plans ...and maps from the 19th and 20th century credibly documented deterioration of the fortress remains. At first, it clearly displayed a ruin, while ultimately toponym Kaštel was the only preserved. Authors of this paper tried to identify and consolidate all relevant cartographic sources that represent the place Kaštel, together with the analysis of topographing the medieval fortresses.
A system of geodetic data enables administration, management and spatial planning on several levels. For European purposes two datasets, EGM and ERM, have been established, and Slovenia regularly ...contributes data for its own territory. For the strategic state level, the National General Map at 1: 250,000 has been made in 2005. Regional and inter-regional level is covered by the National Topographic Map at 1: 50,000, completed this year for the entire Slovenia. At the local level, the National Topographic Map at 1: 5000 in the vector form has been established. By now, 40 % of the Slovenian territory, mostly of urban areas, has been covered. The geodetic branch provides many other topographic and real estate data for local spatial planning, thus the contribution of geodesists in terms of knowledge in data preparation and cartographic representations is valuable. Detailed Plans are based on Geodetic Plans, which have become, after the recent adoption of regulations, an important part of geodetic service. In field measurements surveyors are supported by the national network of GPS reference stations called SIGNAL. Unfortunately, all spatial data in Slovenia are still inaccurate due to the deformations in the existing national coordinate system; a solution will be provided with the introduction of the European Terrestrial and Vertical Reference Systems.
