To ensure consistency in cadaster mapping using geocentric Cassini GDM2000, Malaysia uses a cadaster system that utilizes Cadastral Reference Mark (CRM). This study examined two GNSS positioning methods for cadaster surveying, Rapid Static and Real-Time Kinematic (RTK), for CRM establishment with three objectives: creating CRMs using these methods, surveying cadaster lots and adjusting measurements using CRM positions, and analyzing the effectiveness of the techniques' by comparing area changes and coordinate offsets with NDCDB data..[more]
