intersection
-
[data management]
The point where two lines cross. In geocoding, most often a street crossing.
- [photogrammetry] The result from calculating the meeting point of two rays from two or more different images, providing the x, y, z ground location of the conjugate image points. Computed using the least squares solution, yielding the location where the rays most closely approach each other.
- [cartography] The area of overlap between features.
