After successful completion of the course, students are able to...

• explain the problem of the geodetic datum including approaches to solutions,
• to discuss the determination of the quality of geodetic work,
• to explain the prinziples  von robust estimation and selected methods,
• to transfer the principles of adjustment computation, statistics and geodetic datum determination to other questions of geodesy,
• to explain concepts such as auto-/cross-correlation, collocation, and regression, and
• to describe the tasks and methods of geostatistics.

Optimization and analysis of geodetic networks; robust estimation; adjustment computations for transformation parameters; stochastic processes; interpolation; regression and collocation; geostatistics.

Lecture with reference to practice based on case studies

In winter term 2023/24 the lectures will be held in presence. Upon prior notice, individual sessions can be held in distance learning mode if required by the circumstances.

Written examination of the knowledge about the application of the theory on the basis of examples like in the exercise

Oral examination of theoretical knowledge (focus on interrelations, less on explicit formula knowledge)

Please register - I then have an email distribution list with all participants

A  script in German language is available for the lecture. It is handed out in the first two meetings. Price: € 13,-
