The actual state of the geodetic and cartographic resources and legislation in Poland

Abstract

Official data, including national geodetic and cartographic resources, are integrated in a spatial reference system. This study outlines national resources in Poland as an important part of the spatial information infrastructure in the European Community. They also provide reference data, including: geodetic control networks, base map, and topographic maps, for other resources of spatial data infrastructure. The study presents changes in the methods of sharing geo-data and technical standards for their collecting in the last few years, and additionally also presents some aspects of progressing geodetic and cartographic resources and legislation in Poland. It was noted that modern national geoportal or regional and district resources and progress, especially in the form of their standardization of presentation, enable to promote the use of spatial data in Poland and their popularization among the international community.

“…Aerial Photographs, Orthophotomaps, Laser Scanning Data, and Spatial Databases from the Head Office of Geodesy and Cartography in Poland An orthophotograph is a product obtained via geometric processing of an aerial photograph. In Poland, orthophotomaps collected in the central geodetic and cartographic resource are made available by the head office of Geodesy and Cartography [29,30]. As part of the performed task, aerial photographs and orthophotomaps of a camps taken in 1974, 2004, 2009, and 2021 were collected.…”
