Abstract
Cadastral parcel objects as polygons are fundamental dataset which represent land administration and management of the real world. Thus it is necessary to assure topological seamlessness of cadastral datasets which means no overlaps or gaps between adjacent parcels. However, the problem of overlaps or gaps are frequently found due to non-coinciding edges between adjacent parcels. These erroneous edges are called uncertain edges, and polygons containing at least one uncertain edge are called uncertain polygons. In this paper, we proposed a new algorithm to efficiently search parcels of uncertain polygons between two adjacent cadastral datasets. The algorithm first selects points and polylines around adjacent datasets. Then the Constrained Delaunay Triangulation (CDT) is applied to extract triangles. These triangles are tagged by the number of the original cadastral datasets which intersected with the triangles. If the tagging value is zero, the area of triangles mean gaps, meanwhile, the value is two, the area means overlaps. Merging these triangles with the same tagging values according to adjacency analysis, uncertain edges and uncertain polygons could be found. We have performed experimental application of this automated derivation of partitioned boundary from a real land-cadastral dataset.
