Course abstract
In the study course students acquire the geodetic measurement error and equalization theory, the practical use of it in geodetic network adjustment. Get acquainted with the display of plane cartographic projections of the Earth ellipsoid surface, geodetic networks and their development techniques. Learn to perform precise geodetic measurements as required for geodetic network installation.
Learning outcomes and their assessment
• knowledge of geodetic network types and their development methods, depending on the network task, accuracy and nature of the area.
• skills independently perform precise angles, distances and elevation measurements, mathematical processing of measurement results and to assess their accuracy.
• competence rationally organize the necessary precision geodetic network by selecting the most appropriate methods and tools depending on the network task.
