SURV302 Geodetic Reference Systems and Network Analysis
This course provides an introduction to spherical astronomy, geometric geodesy, and physical geodesy including height networks. Error propagation through the least squares process including errors in two and three dimensions, network pre-analysis, and network post-analysis. Introduction to Kalman Filtering.
