Course Objectives This course will provide students to carry out transformation processes between coordinate systems using relations of these systems which are defined to locate precisely of a point position on or out of the earth in geomatics engineering proficiency thus enabling the use of these concrete backgrounds in composition of the national geodetic infrastructure. By practicing in the course students will gain the proficiency of deciding the coordinate type, calculation method and surface according to main criteria of the study and required spatial accuracy.
Course Description In this course models of geodetic reference systems enable to define geometrical and physical quantities about the earth will be handled. Coordinate systems creations will be discussed. Terrestrial, celestial, and orbital coordinate systems, the concepts and the geometrical principles to define these systems, geodetic direct and inverse solutions are subjects of the course.
Course Outcomes 1 Define geodesy, geodetic coordinates on earth.
2 Distinguish the average and instantaneous coordinate systems.
3 Performs transformations between terrestrial coordinate systems.
4 Recognize/explain celestial coordinate systems.
5 Explains the geodetic curve and its properties for different reference
surfaces.
6 Perform geodetic calculations on the reference surface.
