Course Contents

Candidates are provided with profound knowledge on Geoid and revolution ellipsoid, horizontal and vertical datums, topocentric, geocentric ve projection coordinate systems, reduction of terrestrial observations to surface of the projection, reduction of terrestrial observations onto surface of the ellipsoid, reduction of the gravity measurements, modeling and evaluating the geodetic networks in 2D and 3D, modeling and evaluating leveling and gravity networks, modeling and evaluating all measurements, (direction, vertical angel, slope distant, leveling height difference, gravity, relative coordinates from GNSS,…) together, computing of 3D Cartesian coordinates and their variance-covariance matrix, transforming the coordinates and variance-covariance matrix to the National datum, computing precision and quality measures, testing the integrated mathematical model and the results from the model for outliers.
