GEO 612 - Adjustment and Network Analysis

Course Objectives

i) The objective of the course is to demonstrate the fundamental approaches towards the evaluation of geodetic observations and the accuracy and reliability of the results obtained.. ii) Based on these fundamental methodologies, such subjects as outlier testing algorithms, model tests, deformation measurements and analysis, an important application field in geomatics engineering are discussed and it is aimed to improve the skills about solving the problems with the most suitable methodology with the abilities of analyzing such problems, and about developing solution methods and their applications in the practical issues.
