Survey Adjustment Analysis
2014-2015 - GEO2151 - 10 ECTS

Prerequisite(s)

  • GEO1xxx Basic Surveying 1
  • GEO1201 Basic Surveying 2
  • GEO1xxx Basic Surveying 3 or REA2071 Mathematics 2 for mechanical and civil engineering

Expected learning outcomes

On completion of this course, students will have acquired a good practical understanding of the processes involved in adjusting networks of observations of different types using the Least Squares Method.

 Students will be able to:
 - Carry out a Least Squares Adjustment of a set of observations
 - Analyse the quality of the observations, of the available data, and of the results
 - Use the standard Norwegian network adjustment software systems
 - Use standard GPS-based network adjustment software systems
 - Deliver appropriate project reports in accordance with current professional standards.

Topic(s)

 - Theory of Adjustment by the method of Least Squares
 - Formation of Observation Equations in different situations
 - Weighting of Observation Equations
 - Techniques for the solution of large sets of linear equation, including the use of simple matrix algebra
 - Detection of observational errors in control networks
 - Statistics, reliability testing, quality control and analysis
 - Reporting
 - Land survey software systems "GEMINI", "GISLINE" and "Leica Geo Office".
 - Analysis of Control Networks to develop transformation parameters
 - Simple network simulation computations and analysis
