5.4 Absolute Accuracy<br />

Absolute accuracies for the <strong>San</strong> <strong>Juan</strong> <strong>Islands</strong> Project survey area<br />

Table 3. Absolute Accuracy – Deviation between laser points and RTK hard surface survey points<br />

Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) = 0.136 ft<br />

(0.041m)<br />

1 sigma (σ): 0.120ft<br />

(0.036m)<br />

Standard Deviations<br />

RTK Survey Sample Size (n): 2644<br />

2 sigma (σ): 0.285ft<br />

(0.087m)<br />

Minimum ∆z = -0.547ft (-0.167m)<br />

Maximum ∆z = 0.529ft (0.161m)<br />

Average ∆z = 0.002ft (0.001m)<br />
