punktregistreringer

Punktregistreringer is a term used in Scandinavian languages describing the recording of discrete points or events in a data set. It encompasses the process of capturing the spatial position, time, and attributes of individual points, rather than continuous surfaces or lines.

In surveying and geodesy, punktregistreringer refer to measuring and logging control points, benchmarks, or target points used to orient maps and constructions. In GIS and cartography, it supports accurate mapping of features, assets, and monitoring stations. In industrial and environmental monitoring, points represent sensor locations or sampling sites.

The typical workflow includes defining the scope and coordinate reference system, collecting data in the field with instruments such as GNSS receivers or total stations, recording a unique identifier, coordinates, elevation, timestamp and measurement conditions, and then validating and integrating the data into a geodatabase or spatial data file.

Quality assurance involves checking for duplicates, outliers, and inconsistencies, evaluating positional accuracy and measurement uncertainty, and documenting metadata such as instrument, operator, and method. Data standards and formats (for example CSV, shapefile, or geodatabase schemas) ensure interoperability and traceability.

The term is common in Danish and Norwegian contexts and often used in projects that require precise spatial registration, such as land surveying, construction, infrastructure maintenance, and land administration.
