Measurement: Sets of Angles
• Today, for cadastral- and land surveying no significance
• Engineering Geodesy: basic networks (e.g. tunnel-portal networks, deformation networks)
• Prior to measurement: quick recognisance of targets and verification that observations are possible
• Measurements should be carried out uninterrupted and quick
• First telescope position clockwise, second telescope position anti-clockwise, → pillar rotation!
• Usage of sunshade to protect instrument
Engineering Geodesy II – Prof. Dr. H. Ingensand5
Leica Program “Sets of Angles”
• TPS 1200 – application (costs!…)
• Options to obtain results in various formats
• Format manager: Tool of Leica Geo Office
• Format mask LTOP_Satz_Me.frt (geomETH)
• Correction of meteorology in the field (only for instrument station, assuming identical meteorology at target)
• Take attention to instructions (in particular the notes in SETUP)

Ein Vermessungspfeiler ist die stabilste Vermarkung für einen Vermessungspunkt.
Sie werden vor allem für Messpunkteerrichtet, auf denen wiederholte Beobachtungen erforderlich sind – z. B. bei Deformations- und Kontrollmessungen an Staumauern oder anderen technischen Großprojekten.

Comparison Accuracy of GPS - TPS Surveying
According to F. Brunner, TU Graz
GPS-Measurements 26.03.2009
• Measurements using 2 Leica GNSS SmartAntenna and 6 Leica GNSS 1200 or Leica GPS 500
• 2 static sessions à 20-30 minutes (begin and end in agreement)
• Simultaneous measurements at four pillars and four ground points on the HIL Attica
• Exchange of receivers and antennas between both sessions
• Config Set: PP_Static• Antenna: AX 1202 GG / AT 502 (Tripod or Pillar), check on antenna• Pillar: h = 0.208 but measure height, tripod: measure height with special
scale.• Update: e.g. 5 sec (agree to one)

Application of GNSS in Engineering Geodesy
• Basic networks & local construction site networks:– Roads, railroad lines, channels– Tunnels, bridges, industrial sites– Airports, harbours, etc...
• Deformation measurements (at different epochs or continuous): – Land slides, rock falls, tectonic movements– Dams, bridges, etc.
• Accuracy range:– 1 mm to 1 cm depending on the application

number of satellites
Precise Ephemeris
• Broadcast Ephemeris (from satellite): accuracy in dm-range
• Precise Ephemeris: accuracy in cm-range
• „a posteriori“ determined values (with a delay of 17 hours / 12 days)– Access via internet: e.g. NASA
http://igscb.jpl.nasa.gov/components/prods_cb.html– SP3 - format (directly importable into Leica Geo Office, internet-download)– CODE (Centre of Orbit Determination for Europe): Astronomic Institute of
Uni Bern, GNSS Service: satellite orbits & station coordinates formatted for Bernese GPS Software
• Precise Ephemeris are only useful for huge distances (> 40 km)
Engineering Geodesy II – Prof. Dr. H. Ingensand22
• Reflexion at planes (walls, floor, rocks)
• Superposition of direct and indirect signals
• Best case: no solution• worse case: false solution!• in particular for short sessions (<30
min.) or equal satellite constellations (e.g. successive days)
• careful point selection, not next to walls
• measure at different times• long station occupation• Choke-Ring-antennas (not cheap!)
Engineering Geodesy II – Prof. Dr. H. Ingensand23
Multipath (Mehrwegausbreitung)
• mechanical and electronic centres are not identical
• depends on the constellation
• magnitude: 1 - 3 mm
• use of same antennas and same orientation guarantees same value
• two antennas should have same orientation (e.g. cable connection towards south, use compass)

GPS – Surveying Strategies
Static• occupation of all stations static• use of a proper reference point• occupation time 30 min to 1 day• accuracy 5 mm + 1 ppm• for smaller networks 1 mm is
achievable
Rapid-Static• quick static method• use of one reference point• occupation time is a couple
minutes for each point• accuracy 5 -10 mm + 1 ppm
Kinematic• determine antenna while in motion
AROF: ambiguity resolution on the fly
• no static initialisation
Real Time• radio link to reference• initialisation couple seconds• loss of satellite not problematic• efficient method• no post processing necessary• 10 mm + 1 ppm
26 Engineering Geodesy II – Prof. Dr. H. Ingensand
Static: Sessions
• example: 4 receivers, 6 points, 3 sessions
• each point 2 occupations good interconnection
• good accuracy with limited number of receivers
• complicated logistics
27 Engineering Geodesy II – Prof. Dr. H. Ingensand
Rapid Static
Reference• open horizon• protected• power supply!• SWIPOS, AGNES Webserver →
RINEX observation data
Rover• each point is occupied twice: at
different time of day, receivers• occupation time: 5 minutes (in
case of bad GDOP 10 to 15 minutes)
Advantages:• efficient, 2 receivers suffice,
simple planning

differences in latitude CH1903 minus WGS84 in arc seconds
30 Engineering Geodesy II – Prof. Dr. H. Ingensand
WGS84 → Swiss Grid CH1903
Swiss coordinate system: • map projection: oblique (schiefachsige) Mercator on an 1841 Bessel ellipsoid• geodetic datum: CH1903 (fundamental point Berne 600’000 m E, 200’000 m N)
Relation between WGS84- and Bessel ellipsoid is unknown!• relation between ellipsoid-centres is unknown• relative orientation between both systems is unknown
Approximate relation via transformation of known points• GRANIT: measurements of LFP1-points using GPS 1986 / 1987 (not to be used)• adjustments of 7 parameters
Simple transformation: 3 translations• fitting using reference points
Engineering Geodesy II – Prof. Dr. H. Ingensand31
GPS-Heights → Orthometric Heights
h = H + N• h = ellipsoidal height• H = orthometric height• N = geoid undulation
How to get N?• from a mass model• program CHgeo2004
Geoid of Switzerland in 1 by 1 km grid– bi-quadratic interpolation– http://www.swisstopo.ch
• add geoid undulations → approximate grid coordinates / orthometric heights

WGS84 → Swiss Grid
• transformation to reference points– LTOP - adjustment, ev. in combination with tachymetric measurements:
constrained or stochastic transformation (stochastische Lagerung)– Helmert - Transformation (Leica Geo Office, TRANSINT, VERATOP)
33 Engineering Geodesy II – Prof. Dr. H. Ingensand
How obtain approximation values for unknowns?
from the map e.g. Swisstopo: http://www.swisstopogeodata.ch/geodatenviewer/
34 Engineering Geodesy II – Prof. Dr. H. Ingensand
Alternatives to obtain approximation values
Engineering Geodesy II – Prof. Dr. H. Ingensand35
Optimisation function is usually convex if inconsistencies are small- Adjustment without any approximation values: Use of a global optimisation
algorithm, even if objective function is multimodal- Determine manually approximation values from observations- Some software (e.g. Cramer Caplan) has a function to determine
approximative values
LTOP – next steps
• Add all mes-files to a single file• Add approximate values of unknowns to koo-file• Run LTOP – free adjustment (use “Neupunktseditor” F – N)
36 Engineering Geodesy II – Prof. Dr. H. Ingensand
LTOP: from a free to a constrained network
Why use a free (= minimum constraints) network?• detection of gross errors• quantification of inner accuracy of a network
Free tachymeter network:• two points fixed in horizontal positions, one unknown scale• one point is fixed in height
37 Engineering Geodesy II – Prof. Dr. H. Ingensand
Options for a Geodetic Datum
• Constrained network– inner accuracy is influenced– constrains between datum points are not separable from measurement
errors
• Stochastic datum (= Anschlusspunkte als Beobachtung)– reference points are introduced with appropriate accuracies– coordinates of reference points will change– Cuation: for official land surveying purposes (amtliche Vermessung) the
reference points can not be changed (LFP2)

LTOP – GPS
41 Engineering Geodesy II – Prof. Dr. H. Ingensand
GPS – Coordinate Sets in LTOP
• Separate adjustment of horizontal and height components
• new set of coordinates for each session minimum 3 translations for each session
• e.g. 3 translations, optionally 1 rotation (around vertical axis) and 1 scale
• transformation parameters are considered as unknowns and determined by adjustment
• Keep only significant parameters. Do not use scale as a parameter, if scale = 0.2 ppm (KORR) +- 0.3 ppm (MF)
42 Engineering Geodesy II – Prof. Dr. H. Ingensand
