AG1819 GPS and Image Based Surveying
KTH Royal Institute of Technology
- Active participation in AG1818 or equivalent
- English B and mathematics 4
- Basic principles of positioning by means of satellites
- Components in satellite positioning systems and their function: satellites, control stations, receivers
- GNSS positioning and surveying methods, error sources and their elimination
- Detail surveying and setting-out with GNSS
- Image-based topographic measurement
- Combination of terrestrial and GNSS measurements
- Transformations: connection of GNSS measurements to local reference systems
After the course, the students should be able to:
- Identify which satellite observations can be used for positioning and explain how they can be used for calculation of position and speed of a receiver
- Identify components of GNSS and explain their function
- Plan, carry out and process GNSS observations by means of advanced geodetic receivers in order to establish geodetic networks, perform detail surveying and setting-out and to determine trajectory of a vehicle
- Evaluate quality of coordinates determined by GNSS observations
- Transform the coordinates into given reference system
- Explain principles of image-based topographic measurement
- Combine GNSS and terrestrial observations
