Determination of Variation Components from Geodetic Micronetwork Adjustment

Abstract

This paper deals with the design of a procedure to determine the accuracy of a total station. It is based on the surveying of a geodetic micronetwork and subsequent evaluation of the measured data using the created software tool. The calculation works on the principle of least squares adjustment with the application of the Förstner method of estimation of variation components. In addition, the calculation is enriched by the possibility of determining residual errors of the prism constants.
