Adjustment Computation II
2
Course Description
At the end of this course, students should have the ability to:
1. carry out survey network adjustment using Least Squares Adjustment (LSA) methods;
2. use different approaches for the treatment of large geodetic networks during adjustment;
3. statistically analyse the results obtained from LSA processes; and
4. apply LSA technique in all areas of specialization of Surveying and Geoinformatics.
Course Outline
Partitioning and diagonalization of matrix. Principles of Least Squares Adjustment (LSA). Condition
equations, observation equations, combined (mixed) model equations methods of LSA. Design of
weight matrices in LSA. Weight and functional constraints. Treatment of large geodetic networks.
Addition and removal of observations and parameters. Statistical analysis, error ellipse and error
ellipsoid. Application of LSA in Surveying and Geoinformatics.
