Conventional Approach to Harmonious Coordinated Cadastral Database Weakness

Abstract

The eKadaster system depended solely on the use of coordinated cadastral database known as the National Digital Cadastral Database (NDCDB) with an expected accuracy of ±10cm. Till date, there is an approximately of 7.8 million land parcels and 21.9 million boundary markers in the NDCDB that covers the total area of 132,183 km2. However, the NDCDB accuracy of ±10cm is still not at a satisfactory acceptance level and the adjustment keeps continuing without carrying out verification to the data sources weakness of varying accuracy and input errors. Thus, the foremost important corrective is to ensure the adjustment input files to have the exact value of the sources by further divided the existing adjustment blocks into smaller blocks to verify the input data line by line. A well distributed cadastral control points and latest NDCDB accessibility are also extensively needed to plan and to strengthen the adjustment network. The comparison result of the randomly picked ground truthing points in the field has shown a significant impact on the displacement accuracy that meet the expected tolerance of ±10cm or better after the data input file is cleaned without input error. And to further strengthen the adjustment network in order to make NDCDB accuracy better, the current cadastral control points shall need to tie to a highest accuracy fundamental network.
