Data Analysis and Project Design

Catalog description

Post least-squares adjustment analysis is important for decision making in surveying applications. The course covers statistical testing for blunder detection in control networks with measurements originating from GNSS and conventional methods. Internal and external reliability of networks are covered, and they are used in network design problems. 1D, 2D, and 3D transformations concepts are used to transform between different coordinate systems, and the decision of the appropriate transformation is conducted through statistical testing. The course also covers robust error propagation methods for uncertainty estimation of point clouds that originate from modern surveying technologies. Concepts of statistical testing for change detection / deformation monitoring are also discussed. The course includes a design project that considers accuracy and other requirements relevant to the application scenario.
