Discussion of “<i>Geodetic Monuments for Eccentric Property Corners</i>” by James E. Stem (April, 1982)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1984) -
Doppler Controlled IPS Survey of Gravity Net
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1984)In one of the projects under consideration it was decided to observe a high accuracy and extremely dense gravity net. The accuracy and density requirement made it implicit to have an accurate knowledge of the position of ... -
Lake Level Effects as Measured from Aerial Photos
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1984)Rising Lake Michigan water levels were found to negatively influence the amount of wetlands and beaches in the Straits of Mackinac area of Lake Michigan. The effects of long‐term fluctuation in water levels were determined ... -
Astro‐Azimuth Using Time Difference
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1984)Conventionally, the determination of astronomic azimuth involves the synchronization of the observations with a radio time signal or the measurement of zenith distances which are subject to refraction errors. A mathematical ... -
Computerized Municipal Utility System Mapping
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1984)Accurate and complete information on underground municipal utility systems becomes increasingly important and difficult to maintain as cities grow and the urban infrastructure becomes more complicated. It is desirable to ... -
R&D Needs in Geodetic Surveying
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1984)Current technological developments place geodetic surveying in a transitional period from classical ground techniques to modern satellite‐based surveying methods. The current status of geodetic surveying is reviewed, ... -
Centimeter‐Level Relative Positioning with GPS
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)Although the Global Positioning System (GPS) was designed primarily for real‐time navigation and positioning applications at the dekameter (10‐m, or 33‐ft) level of accuracy, the GPS has been used to determine the relative ... -
New Positioning Power for the Surveyor
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)A new field positioning capability is now available for engineering surveys using the TRANSIT satellite transmissions and the JMR‐2000 Global Surveyor. Three dimensional position transfers over “one‐hop” distances of 500 ... -
Centimeter Precision Airborne Laser Ranging System
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)The Airborne Laser Ranging System (ALRS) is a proposed multibeam subnanosecond pulse laser ranging system on board an aircraft. It simultaneously measures the distances between the aircraft and six laser retroreflectors ... -
Aerial Profiling of Terrain System
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)Since 1974, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has been developing the Aerial Profiling of Terrain System (APTS) for measuring stream‐valley cross sections and profiles, older map reliability testing, and producing control ... -
Electronic Advancements in Hydrographic Surveying
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1984)Applications of microelectronics and microcomputers in hydrographic surveying are growing rapidly. High accuracy, on‐site computations, navigation and data logging are made economically available. This paper presents ... -
Erratum: “Map Content and Symbols: Chapter V of Proposed Manual on Map Uses, Scales, and Accuracies for Engineering and Associated Purposes” by Robert P. Jacober, Jr. (November, 1980)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983) -
Missouri Land Records Repository
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1984)The Land Records Repository of the Missouri Land Survey is a facility designed for the storage, recovery and reproduction of land survey information. The Repository performs several independent functions that collectively ... -
Discussion of “<i>Research Needs in Marine Surveying</i>” by Harold D. Palmer (April, 1982)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983) -
The Crab: A Unique Nearshore Surveying Vehicle
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1984)A recent innovation for improved nearshore surveying and coastal engineering data collection is the Coastal Research Amphibious Buggy (CRAB). This 35‐ft (10.6‐m) high motorized tripod, when combined with a state‐of‐theart ... -
Inertial Survey Systems
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)The historical background of the development of inertial survey systems and the basic principles of inertial navigation systems are presented. Inertial survey systems and their operation are described. Some of the operational ... -
Navstar Global Positioning System
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)The NAVSTAR Global Positioning System (GPS) Program began a decade ago when the United States Air Force, Army, Marine Corps, Navy, and the Defense Mapping Agency (DMA) combined their technical resources to develop a ... -
Photogrammetric Mapping for Highways: Western U.S.
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)This paper presents a brief history of photogrammetric mapping for highway activities in the Western States. Reasons for emphasis and development of techniques are discussed. Some of the problems encountered in the development ... -
Location of Railroad Boundaries
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)When boundary evidence of record is vague or uncertain, the intent of the parties to a grant may be inferred from physical evidence which witnesses this intent. In the retracement of boundaries abutting a railroad physical ... -
Results of Survey Questionnaire of Surveying and Mapping Division
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)A survey questionnaire was initiated by the American Society of Civil Engineers Executive Committee of the Surveying and Mapping (SU) Division and sent to 4,000 of its members (December, 1981). The purpose of this questionnaire ...
