Opis

This covers the basic principles and practice such as vertical control, distance, angles and position right through to the most modern technologies: geodesy, GPS, satellite positioning, rigorous estimation of control coordinates, and mass data methods of photogrammetry and laser scanning and the role of inertial technology.

Recenzje

'... a surveying textbook that fully integrates discussion of automated systems into mainstream surveying ... a monumental work. The author is to be congratulated for an extremely thorough, yet digestible textbook that can be recommended for all levels of survey education.'
