1. A method of adjusting positioning data, the method comprising:
acquiring positioning data obtained from a first registration for a plurality of objects having mutual constant positions;
measuring relative positions for at least a subset of the plurality of objects in a second registration; and
calculating an adapted measurement position for at least one of the objects of the subset of the plurality of objects by correlating the measured relative positions from the second registration for the at least a subset of the plurality of objects with the acquired positioning data from the first registration, wherein the adapted measurement position is based on the acquired positioning data,
wherein the acquired positioning data from the first registration is a file comprising the positions for the respective object, wherein the positions are determined from above at a higher altitude than from a ground level altitude on which the measurement of the relative positions for the at least a subset of the plurality of objects is made in the second registration, and
wherein the method further comprises finding a first set in a first plurality of objects, and finding a matching second set in a second plurality of objects and by overlaying the first set and the second set, stitching together the first plurality of objects with the second plurality of objects.
