   Hint

   Consider their role in determining accuracy.

4. 4.

   True or False: MCPs are used to maintain scale accuracy in aerial photography.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Remember their purpose relative to GCPs.

5. 5.

   Design a simple mapping project using GCPs and MCPs. Describe your process and the expected outcomes.

   Hint

   Think about the role of accuracy in your project.

6. 6.
