metreilläkuva

Metreilläkuva is a Finnish term that translates roughly to "meter image" or "measurement image." It is a concept primarily used in the field of surveying and land management, particularly in Finland. A metreilläkuva refers to a visual representation of land boundaries and features that is precisely linked to real-world measurements. These measurements are typically obtained using surveying equipment such as total stations or GPS devices.

The purpose of a metreilläkuva is to provide an accurate and unambiguous depiction of property lines, buildings, roads, and other significant elements within a given area. This is crucial for legal documentation, property transactions, and urban planning. Unlike a simple sketch or map, a metreilläkuva is based on geodetic coordinates and adheres to established surveying standards.

In practice, a metreilläkuva is often generated as part of a cadastral survey. Surveyors establish points in the field and record their precise coordinates. These coordinates are then used to draw the corresponding features on a map or digital model. The term emphasizes the direct correlation between the graphical representation and the actual physical measurements taken on the ground. This ensures that the map accurately reflects the dimensions and locations of surveyed elements.
