Course content

  • Calibration of total station;
  • Lan surveying methods (traverse, construction and building measurements);
  • Surveying data processing (orthogonal method, traverse, corrections between terrain and map plans);
  • Theory of accuracy/statistics (least-squares method, weighting/instrument parameters, time-correlation in RTK(GNSS);
  • Software (general use, data import and export, processing, assessment of quality regarding to Norwegian standards);
  • Applications (road sticking, transformation, calibration);
  • Programming.
