DRAFT STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE(SOP)

FOR POST-DRONE FLYING ACTIVITIES

ACTIVITY-8: DRONE DATA PROCESSING & ORI GENERATION BY

DRONE AGENCY

 Processing of Drone data is to be done in AGISOFT Metashape,

Pix 4d application software or any application software by Agency
at the production center.

 Uniformly distributed GCPs at the periphery of ULB boundary and

inside the ULB area can be selected for ORI processing software.

 At least 30 to 40 percent GCPs can be reserved as check points

for quality check of ORIs at the processing lab.

 To ensure true ground elevation for ORI processing, “High Dense

Point Cloud” (option in the computer software) shall be selected
for generation of Digital Surface Model (DSM).

 In the DSM models, agricultural crops, plantation and trees may

be potential sources of errors in ORI. Hence, it is recommended to
convert DSM to Digital Terrain Model (DTM) using terrain filters
provided in the software by the Agency. Also, the Agency to
remove any sinks and spikes in DTM before Ortho-rectification of
the images.

 The final ORI pixel spatial resolution is to be set to 5cm Ground

Sampling Distance (GSD is 0.1mm of scale as ASPS
topographic/land survey standards).

Preliminary Quality check:

 At the Agency production center preliminary quality check is

carried out by comparing the data of ORI with the collected
field data in Form–10 and has to be certified by both Agency
and Survey/Supervising Teams.

 Quality check at the ORI processing centre should complete

in all aspects:
(1) Geometric Quality.
 62
6689288/2022/M-MAU01

(2) Image Visual Interpretation.

 Ensure ORI is not pixelated when zoomed at the GCP point of

survey stones top surface at least 4 times.

 Each tile shall be numbered as T1, T2, T3, etc., and any key
showing the relative position of the particular tile shall be
appended on each tile.

 Detailed ORI quality check (Geometric& Radiometry) reports

can be provided to Ward Level Survey Team. Ensure ORI is not
pixelated when zoomed at the GCP point of the survey stone
top surface at least 4 times.

 Quality check at the production center is carried out by

comparing the data of ORI with the collected field data and has
to be certified by Agency. In addition, distance between GCP
points of survey stones can be measured from ORI and
compare with distance calculated from corresponding GCPs
coordinates. The variation in point position and the distance
between two points should be within prescribed accuracy. If
the variation exceeds, Agency has to intensify GCPs for further
rectification.

 Spatial accuracy Assessment of final ORI can be done using

Independent GCPs (check points), which are not used for ORI
processing. Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) can be calculated.
Quality report can include RMSEx, RMSEy and figure showing
graphical representation of distribution of x, y error vector.

 Agency shall submit the ORI hard copy in Appendix-2 only

after it meets all the required accuracy standards.

 Agency shall provide the ORI hard copy dividing into tiles as
work sheet, Printing & delivery of Hard copy of ORI Tiles in A2
size covering an area of 100m x100m in 1:100 to 1:500 scale
by splitting the ULB/(s) into tiles covering 10 to 20 Acres
depending upon the average size of the Land holding as
prescribed by the Dept. The Tiles for ULB properties shall be
relatively in the larger scale (1:50/1:100 for Habitation area
and 1:500 for open lands based on the intensity of records) to
demarcate the property boundaries clearly. Each tile shall be
numbered as T1, T2, T3 etc., and any key showing the relative
position of the particular tile shall be appended on each tile.
 63
6689288/2022/M-MAU01

 An index map covering entire Revenue Village (1:500/1000)

/ULB in 1:5000 scale and it into suitable paper size like A0, A1,
A2, A3, shall also be provided.

 The record of the ORI delivery & receipt shall be maintained

by both Agency and Concerned Town planning head/Town
Surveyor/ Mandal Surveyor with proper acknowledgments as
per Form-11 & Form-12.

ACTIVITY-9: QUALITY CHECK OF ORI

Verification of ORI by Supervisory (ULB/Ward Level) Team on

Ground Level:

 ORI shall be provided by Agency for the purpose of verification on

Ground to assess the quality of the ORI provided.

 To gain the credibility of the stakeholders, the survey team shall

check the ORI given by Agency.

 The Agency, Supervisory Team and the ULB Level Team shall jointly
measure 6 or 8 prominent features per Sq. Km., like inner-to-inner
culvert edges, width of C.C road, bridges width, buildings etc., of
those features whose edges can be clearly identified on ORI and
Ground.

 The Teams shall fix schedule for the verification and verify jointly
w.r.t selected features at different points covering all parts of the ULB
Area.

 The features have to be measured with measuring tape/rover / ETS

etc. on the ground by Ward Level Survey Team and the details shall
be entered by WP&RS in part –A of Form –10 and ORI co-ordinates
to be entered by the Supervisory Team and arrive the variation if
any, shall note down in Column No.9 of Form–10. And as per the
yard stick status of the quality check has to be marked in Column
No.10 of that form.

 All Teams shall verify/measure jointly the ORI map by using Rover
for Geo-coordinates w.r.t Ground Controlling Points (GCP). The
points selected shall be measured on ORI and compare with Geo-
coordinates arrived by using Rover and fill the data in Form-13. It
should be certified by the Supervisory Teams.
 64
6689288/2022/M-MAU01

 Therefore, few points on the ground at random shall be selected and

measured using Rover. The same points shall be measured on ORI
and compare both the data in Form - 13.

 These prominent features shall be selected at random and uniformly

distributed covering areas in the entire ULB to test the ORI of the ULB
as a single entity.

 These features shall be measured with measuring Tape / Rover / ETS

etc., on Ground and to be noted in Form –10.

 The variation in point position and the distance between two points
should be within the prescribed accuracy (±5 cm). If the variation
exceeds, return the ORI to Agency for further processing.

 The quality check of ORI shall be for linear measurements between

any two points and positional accuracy of the checkpoints or selected
features by comparing the data observed by rover and data obtained
from ORI. The difference between these two modes of data should
not exceed the accuracy parameters desired for cadastral surveys.

 The Geo-Coordinates of these check points/selected features shall be

observed using rover and recorded. The same check points/ selected
features shall be measured from ORI. Compare both these
measurements and record the feasibility report.

 If the difference of these measurements of two modes are within

accuracy parameters the ORI is feasible for conducting Ground
Truthing, otherwise return the ORI for reprocessing to generate ORI
second time.

ACTIVITY-10: GROUND TRUTHING

Introduction: -

 Ground Truthing is the verification of individual land parcels and

corresponding textual revenue data physically on the ground by the
Ward Level Survey Team in the presence of Property
Owners/Stakeholders and recording the Geo-Coordinates of each
Land Parcel/ Property Parcel based on ORI / GPS Rovers.

 The main objective of Ground Truthing is the demarcation of

Undisputed Permanent boundaries of individual Land Parcels based
on ORI, GPS Rovers and POLR data and to assign the Chalta Number
 67

mango plantation etc.) but is owned by different Owners,
applications will be taken from each Owner showing the boundary
and separate LP will be created for each Owner during Ground
Truthing and separate Chalta Number shall be assigned.

 Joint Pattadars – If the pattadars doesn’t split the joint patta. Take
action as per the Splitting of Joint Pattas Act. If they insist
continuing the Joint Patta – The software allows to have multiple
owners under a Single Khatha with Single LPM.

 One LPM shall have only one ‘Land Nature’. If more than one Land
Nature is given a common LPM, necessary action shall be taken to
make separate parcel based on the nature.

 One LPM shall have only one ‘Land Classification’. If more than one
Land Classification is given a common LPM, either make the
classification as single category after duly verifying field usage. It
is suggested not to create new LPMs in this regard.

ACTIVITY-13: GROUND VALIDATION

 75
6689288/2022/M-MAU01

Introduction: -

 Ground validation is the process subsequently to be conducted for

confirmation of extents arrived during Ground Truthing. Ground
validation involves validation of the facts, Updation of records,
confirmation of the boundaries, communication and coordination
with property owners, redressing neighboring boundary issues other
than disputed boundaries. In respect of wherever disputes arises or
received in the form of Appeals u/s 11 of AP S&B Act - 1923, Ground
validation has to be done in all such cases invariably by the Field
Survey Teams at Ward Level, Supervisory Team and ULB Team.

 Ground Validation is the process of formal confirmation of each

individual land parcel boundaries and area excluding those in legal
court, through physical verification on the ground by the Ward Level
Survey Team in concurrence with concerned Property Owner or
Govt. departments or other stakeholders. In case of any
disagreement, that particular land parcels boundaries are re-
measured physically by rovers or by traditional survey methods and
further efforts shall be made to resolve.

on the notice board of the office.

B. Ground validation process

• The ORI map given by Agency shall be shared among the field
Survey teams as blocks and number of survey teams should be
decided by Commissioner of the concerned as per necessity. The
same teams should conduct both Ground Truthing and Ground
Validation.

• The field Survey team shall again visit each Land parcel with the
concerned Property owners / depts. / Stakeholders and confirm
the Land parcel boundaries and Areas with reference to the ORI
map and ground both position of lat-logs and extent of the land
parcel. The Team should update in the ORI map by evening of
the same day and prepare of Land Parcel Map (LPMs) of each
parcel.

• For the Property owners who agree with the details, an

appropriate format to be used for taking acceptance in Form–
49 by the property owner.

• For Property owners who do not accept, the area of the land
parcel, measurements may be done by GNSS (Global Navigation
Satellite System) Rover. If still not agreed, it may be done by
using the Electronic Total Station (ETS) machine. If necessary
physical measurements and area calculation may be done using
conventional instruments (Chain & Cross staff).

• For any other data where there is a non-satisfaction, appropriate

action may be taken under the provisions of Act, Rules, and
G.O.s. All efforts should be made to resolve the non-agreement
except those, which are in court/revenue cases.

C. Additional Information from Ground validation:
