Geodetic Network Analysis and Optimal Design: Concepts and Applications

Geodetic Network Analysis and Optimal Design: Concepts and Applications presents a systematic discussion of up-to-date methods and concepts of network analysis and optimal design. Part I, Network Analysis, deals with the processing and analysis of collected data to guarantee accurate results. Part II, Network Optimal Design, deals with the development of an economic survey campaign that will satisfy project criteria prior to entering the field, while ensuring project success. This useful reference covers the basic theory by providing simple examples to demonstrate basic concepts and procedures, and is loaded with how-to-techniques certain to make network design and analysis easy and reliable. The book covers both geodetic networks and networks established for deformation monitoring in a Step-by-Step format. All practicing surveying professionals, engineers, researchers and surveying engineering students will find this book to be mandatory reading.
