Accuracy and Precision of Spitballs Problem: How far will the spitballs land from the target when shot at different distances? How far will the spitballs be from each other when shot from different distances? Hypothesis: I believe that the accuracy will be similar when shot at the same distance but the closer you get to the target the more accurate it will be. For precision I think they should not be that far apart because you should shoot them relatively close. Materials: The materials

A theodolite is a survey testing instrument used for measuring horizontal and vertical angles. A basic theodolite usually consists of a small sized telescope linked with mechanisms to measure horizontal and vertical angles. It has several moving parts and is quite heavy. The theodolite telescope is fixed within perpendicular axes- the vertical axis and the horizontal‚ or trunion‚ axis. The instrument is fixed on a base that can be rotated on a tripod by a leveling system. The angle to the desired

Accuracy assessment is an important final step of the classification process. The goal is to quantitatively determine how effectively pixels were groups into the correct land cover classes. The procedure is relatively simple. Pixels are randomly selected throughout the image using a specified random distribution method. Then the analyst uses the original image along with ancilliary information such as aerial photographs or direct field observation to determine the true land cover represented by each
