Often, same polygon objects are presented in Geoinformational Systems by distinct geometries with random positional discrepancies. It makes difficult to detect correspondences between data layers containing same object or parts of objects. The suggested method allows the user to improve the accuracy of one polygon layer by another more accurate polygon dataset by defining correspondences between polygons and parts of polygon boundaries. Two main techniques are applied: triangulation and segmentation. The triangulation is used to define correspondences between whole polygons by comparing triples of polygons. The segmentation approach is applied for the remaining polygons. Existing approaches do not work well in the case of partial equality of polygon boundaries. The main idea of the segmentation algorithm in this paper is based on defining correspondent segments of polygon boundaries and further replacing polygon boundary segments of the non-accurate layer with segments of the accurate data set; segments without pairs are rectified using ground control points. The resulting data contain parts of the accurate data set polygon boundaries, whereas the remaining elements are rectified according to the replaced boundary segments. From a review implemented by specialists it might be concluded that the results are satisfactory. The developed method could be applied to various types of polygonal datasets with similar scale.
