Learning outcomes

After the course the student should be able to:

  • understand the principles for how geodetic instruments are functioning and how they are used
  • understand how local and regional geodetic reference and height systems are built up
  • measure and compute simple densifications of geodetic networks
  • plan and perform the different main parts in a setting out project
  • plan and perform the different main parts in a positioning project
  • evaluate the quality in different types of observed data and in the result

Course main content

Instruments and methods for different types of positioning.

Control networks: the structure of local reference systems in different dimensions. Setting out: planning, coordinate computations, measure and computation methods and report writing.

Positioning, detail measurements: measurement and computation methods and further handling in a CAD-software. Quality in the measured data and in the final results.

The exercises and laboratory work includes e.g. two larger projects, one for a setting out project and one for a positioning project. The aim of these projects is that the student will work with and understand the whole process chain in such types of projects.
