Task 4/Geo-Serv Project
Coordinate Correction Process
1. Data Preparation (Local File)2. Coordinate Correction3. Geo-Serv QC & Final Fix4. Census QC5. Upload into TIGER DB

Task 4/Geo-Serv Contract
Coordinate Correction Tasks
Step 1 Conflate TIGER to Local file Match all matchable features
Step 2 Find and Fix Flag issues, resolve, fix, flag action
Step 3 Prepare Deliverables Re-format Prepare QC Reports
Run QC programs Perform 100% Visual Check

What is Conflation? Combine 2+ files -- create RESULTS file
includes best aspects of each file RESULTS file
Source file attributes…..”Brains from TIGER” Target file graphics…….”Beauty from Local” Differences are resolved
Rubber-sheet unmatched source features (“Orphans”)

What is MapMerger?ArcMap extension for automated conflation Automatic Match
70% to 95% of the features automatically one-to-one matched
Match editing tools for manually editing the results of
automatic matching Creates conflated data set

Conflation using MapMerger1. Node match2. Line match3. Transfer attributes Creates conflated data set

Conflation - Vendor 1 (EarthData)
Standard ApproachNode match
Match by layer 45 meters; visual check; fix errors 60 meters; visual check; fix errors
Line match Match; visual check; fix errors
MapMerger Goal 80-90% of all possible matches

MapMerger -- NODE MATCH – Automatic Results
![Page 11: Use of Conflation Software in US Census Bureau's TIGER Coordinate Correction Process Prepared for ESRI User Conference 2003 Prepared by Bernard Catalinotto.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022082501/5a4d1b6e7f8b9ab0599b4aaf/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
MapMerger – LINE MATCH -- Automatic Results

Conflation in MapMerger - Vendor 2 (Pixxures)
Creative Approach[Note: Skip Node match]1. Start with Auto Line match
1 meters; check no errors 2 meters; check no errors Stop when encounter errors -- usually around 7
meters2. Manual Line match3. QC/fix in MapMerger
Run Census/Geo-Serv/Custom QC programs Fix errors, rerun conflation in MapMerger
After MapMerger Minor QC/fix; prepare deliverables

Results & Next Steps Results
Efficient use of conflation software & ESRI GIS technologies
Next Steps All three vendors making substantial
contributions to program success Goal: Complete 190 counties by 9/30/03
