Objective

The aim of the course is to expand students' knowledge in selected areas of geodesy. The selection will be related to the topic of the dissertation. 

Knowledge

The goal of the subject is expanding of student's knowledge in some elected fields of geodesy and surveying. The elected topics should encourage student's interest about the problems and show them correct and simple methods for their solving. The topics are of expanding nature, they are not usually included in standard geodesy courses. Selection of topics will depend on specializations of registered students.
Students will learn to work with scientific literature and use it as a base for own scientific work.

Syllabus

Time-table of lectures will be modified in dependence on thematic focus of registered students.
1.-6. Lectures (6 lectures from following list)
- General principles of physical and geometric geodesy. Theory and testing of electronic geodetic instruments.
- Atmospheric refraction and its influences on geodetic measurements.
- Data corrections and reductions in geodesy (geometrical as same as physical one).
- Automation of measurements and data processing.
- Integrated measuring systems.
- Principles of 3D geodesy.
- Transformation of coordinates, qualitu analysis of identical points and transformation results.
- Accuracy determination on high accuracy measurements.
- Theory and testing of electronic geodetic instruments.
