Various techniques of levelling, angular observation and distance measurement, at different degrees of precision with a variety of instruments, are examined and compared. The associated reductions and computations are also dealt with.
| Objectives | 1. To be aware of a range of surveying instrumentation, both present and past. 2. To know what applications these instruments have. 3. To know what precision can be achieved by a variety of instruments and techniques. 4. To know how to use the instruments. 5. To be able to reduce raw observational data from the instruments to a usable form. 6. To be able to analyse the results obtained and portray them in a cogent manner. |
