Syllabus
- 1. Elementary terms and principles of geodesy.
- 2. Simple measuring tools and working with them, basic marking of a horizontal plane (levels), vertical (plumb and string), straight lines (especially "by eye") and right angles.
- 3. Total station and theodolite – constructional parts, instrument optics.
- 4. Measurement of horizontal directions and angles.
- 5. Geometric optics, fundamentals of wave optics.
- 6. Principles and methods of length measurement, tape length measurement, overview of previously used optical methods of length measurement (especially parallactic angle).
- 7. Electronic measurement of lengths (electronic distance meters, total stations), indirect trigonometric measurement of lengths.
- 8. Basics of cartographic projection, coordinate systems, conversion of measured quantities to a reference surface (to the plane of cartographic display).
- 9. Coordinate computation.
- 10. Orientation displacement and its use (including verification of the identity of points), intersection from angles, lengths and oriented directions (including intersection from oriented directions).
- 11. Back intersection, orthogonal method and other methods of determining point coordinates - measured elements and calculation.
- 12. Polygons, measurement technology and processing of measured data.
- 13. Transformations in the plane (primarily similarity, similarity and affine).
The course is full of lectures available on the e-learning.
