The ASPRS Positional Accuracy Standards for Digital Geospatial Data are developed based on industry consensus. They are designed to be modular in nature, such that revisions can be made and additional sections added as geospatial technologies and methods evolve. Additionally, the Standards are designed to recommend best practices, methods, and guidelines for the use of emerging technologies to achieve the goals and requirements set forth in the Standards. With support from the ASPRS Technical Divisions, the primary Working Group established subordinate Working Groups to author Addenda for best practices and guidelines for photogrammetry, lidar, UAS, and field surveying. The subordinate Working Group members and contributors are credited in each Addendum.
