Surveying instruments and measurements. Geodesy: gravity fields, geoid, ellipsoid, geodetic coordinates. Reference systems:earth-fixed systems, coordinate transformations. GPS:
satellites, control stations, receivers, signal features, error sources, relative and absolute positioning. Surveying networks: error propagation, network design, adjustment. Cartography: map projections, national IGMI map system, numerical cartography. Surveying data processing: least-squares estimation.
Learning Objectives
General information on main topographical and photogrammetric methods for land and building metrical surveying, data processing methods and basic concepts of cartographic representations.
