Our map is essentially 1 to 1. So foot on the ground is that big in the drawing. We are doing 1 foot contours to give to the surveyor. We can do that a zillion times faster than he can, that is why they pay us to do it. He surveys it so he knows the layout and elevations. He can go in the field and pick a spot in our survey, and double check it with his Trimble GPS that is accurate to sub millimeter. He has to call it a survey, and put a stamp on it. We are just providing data.
When I am setting up my computer with the ground control points I can zoom in to a point down to individual pixels if I need to.
We will generate a point cloud with a eleventy eleven zillion points, and each point is color coded so if you zoom out it looks like a photo. It is just getting to generating the point cloud now. Less than 25% done and it is at 140 billion points and going up.
