Advanced Geodesy B.Tech (R13) seventhsem is as follows

OBJECTIVES:

• To impart advanced knowledge in the field of Geodesy

UNIT I : GEODETIC CONTROL            [9 hours]
Horizontal control – characteristics – method and standards for triangulation, traversing, trilateration, inertial and space techniques (Doppler GPS, SLR and VLBI) – computation – problems on spherical coordinates. Vertical control – characteristics – method and standards for spirit levelling , trigonometrical levelling and space techniques- computations- national networks.

UNIT II : GEODETIC COMPUTATIONS      [9 hours]
Rectangular and Polar Co – ordinates – First and Second geodetic problem – Similarity and Helmert‟s transformation- methods of point determinations – problems on intersection, resection, arc section and also with over determinations, polar method and its extension.

UNIT III: ASTRONOMICAL COMPUTATIONS        [9 hours]
Variation in celestial co – ordinates, Determination of Astronomical Azimuth- stars altitude and hour angle methods, astronomical latitude and longitude determination – sources of errors and its eliminations- problems
