Rubber sheet transformation in gis.
Rubber sheeting topological process of stretching or shrinking a subarea or portion of a map or image to fit in registration with selected control points.
Before aerial photography arrived most maps were highly inaccurate by modern standards.
The input link features represent the regular links.
Geometric correction of them.
Click the spatial adjustment menu and click options.
Affine similarity and projective.
Click either the natural neighbor or linear method and click ok.
Click the options button.
On the edit tab in the features group click modify.
Click the adjustment methods drop down arrow and click rubbersheet.
Root mean square error measure of registration accuracy used during digitizing and coverage transformations.
Click the spatial adjustment menu point to adjustment methods then click rubbersheet to set the adjustment method.
Rubbersheeting makes spatial adjustments to align the input feature locations with more accurate target feature locations based on the specified rubbersheet links.
The affine transformation function is.
An affine transformation can differentially scale the data skew it rotate it and translate it.
Expand alignment and click transform.
Geometric distortions commonly occur in source maps.
They may be introduced by imperfect registration in map compilation lack of geodetic control in source data or a variety of other causes.

Rubber sheeting is a useful technique in historical gis where it is used to digitize and add old maps as feature layers in a modern gis.
Click the general tab.
The graphic below illustrates the four possible changes.
By default arcmap supports three types of transformations.
Used to control rubber sheeting and adjustment operations.
This drawback brings us to the idea of incorporating the historical maps into gis after rubber sheet transformation i e.
Click rubbersheet for the adjustment method so you can set additional options for rubbersheeting.
You can press and hold the spacebar to temporarily turn off snapping as you create anchor points and draw displacement links or rubber sheet area polygons.
Rubbersheeting is used to make small geometric adjustments in your data usually to align features with more accurate information.
The input point features represent identity links that hold source positions unmoved during the rubbersheeting process.
Click the spatial adjustment menu and click options.
The modify features pane appears.
Rubber sheeting may improve the value of such sources and make them easier to compare to modern maps.
Qgis georeferencer plug in provides a number of transformation types including thin plate spline which enables full rubber sheeting.
