rubber sheeting
A procedure to adjust coverage features in a nonuniform manner. Links representing from- and to-locations are used to define the adjustment.
scale bar
A map element that shows the map scale graphically.
Rubber Sheeting is a technique for edge matching and is another name for warping .
Rubber Sheeting: Spatial database editing software that attempts to correct errors by stretching a map to fit known control points or monuments. Mathematical method to stretch or warp images to match existing vector data.
Rubber Sheeting
The process of stretching or transforming the geometric properties of a raster base map for the purpose of aligning the map relative to the surface of the earth that it depicts.
rubber sheeting
A procedure for adjusting the coordinates of all the data points in a dataset to allow a more accurate match between known locations and a few data points within the dataset.
Rubber sheeting - The method of registering one layer of digital data to another by using a set of common points, rather than by coordinates of control points.
...
Used to control rubber sheeting and adjustment operations. Identity links act as nails to hold down the point location during adjustment. See also link. IEEE Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. IEEE Standard 1003.
Sound survey methodology—Use least squares adjustment (not rubber sheeting) and your control points to fit data, yielding the best parcel location from the data entered.
Rubber sheeting (registration by Relative Position) is the procedure using "slave" and "master" mathematical transformations to adjust coverage features in a non-uniform manner.
The term rubber sheeting is often used to describe this function. Rubber sheeting involves stretching one data layer to meet another based on predefined control points of known locations.
R2V includes complete on-screen image and vector editing, labeling, image rubber sheeting, color image classification and separation, text symbol detection and recognition (OCR), automatic polygon layer creation, 3D terrain display and image draping.

Direct transformations are also used to match vector data layers that don't fit exactly by stretching or rubber sheeting them over the most accurate data layer.
An anchor that prevents the movement of features during rubber sheeting.

control monuments, a "best fit" is made to the source map's origin, rotation, scale, skew, and stretch. If the source map's systematic errors were small, an accurate "fit" will be made resulting in small residual errors. Also called rubber sheeting ...
