From Mapping to Measuring with the Analytical Stereoplotter
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1987)The analytical stereoplotter is a modern mapping tool, usually acquired by photogrammetric organizations with a history of providing clients with topographic maps. However, the analytical stereoplotter is much more than a ... -
Alternative Geometric Determination of Altazimuthal‐Distance Covariance Matrices
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1987)Conventional equations for determining the variance‐covariance matrix of vertical angles, geodetic azimuths and distances are based on the standard law of propagation of covariance using the Jacobian matrix of the corresponding ... -
Transverse Adjustment for Observations from Modern Survey Instrumentation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1987)Compass (Bowditch's) rule and Crandall's method (the “least squares” solution, in many coordinate geometry programs) are commonly used to adjust traverses for construction and land survey applications. The assumptions made ... -
Spatial Data for Modeling Wildlife Habitat
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1987)Three models are presented that use the presence and spatial characteristics of land‐cover types to calculate quality of wildlife habitat. The modeling approaches include the use of a Geographic Information System (GIS) ... -
Multiperspective View of Future Roles in Geodetic System
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1986)The geodetic system composed of geodetic service providers, geodetic service users, and the American public, is becoming more active and complex as a result of recent technological development in Global Positioning System ... -

Mapping for Municipal Planning and Engineering—Back to Basics
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1987)Good maps are required for the efficient and effective conduct of municipal planning and engineering. In spite of the rapid changes that have taken place in surveying and mapping technology, maps of the scale, accuracy, ... -
Solar Access Surveys
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1987)Current law and land‐use regulations encourage the use of alternative energy resources and protect the rights of those who adopt them. Access to sunlight has geometric and property rights components which pose new challenges ... -
Roles of Government and Private Sector in Geodetic Surveying
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1986)A detailed proposal describing the roles of the federal, state, and local governments, and the private sector, is presented. Functions are classified according to traditional methods, taking into account new technologies, ... -
Geodetic Reference Systems in GPS Environment
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1986)The respective roles of government and the private sector in geodetic surveying are relative and whatever they are now, they are about to change. To a major degree existing roles have been established by: (1) National ... -
Adjustment of Space Trilateration by STRUDL
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1987)Small space trilateration nets in which distances are measured between points can be likened to structural space frameworks in which elastic members are manufactured and joined together by pins. Accordingly, structural ... -
Orthometric Heights Without Leveling
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1987)Orthometric heights can be obtained without leveling by combining gravimetrically determined geoidal heights and ellipsoidal heights derived from Global Positioning System (GPS) interferometry. The accuracy of the orthometric ... -

National Geodetic Survey Policy on the Role of Government in Geodesy
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1986)Most activities supported by geodesy are under state jurisdiction. But the main governmental organization that is purely geodetic is federal: the National Geodetic Survey (NGS). NGS (before 1970, as the U.S. Coast & Geodetic ... -
Discussion of “<i>Definition of the Term “Engineering Surveying”</i>” by the Committee on Engineering Surveying of the Surveying Engineering Division (August, 1985)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1986) -
Role of the Private Sector in Geodetic Surveying
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1986)An individual's view on the public‐private division of responsibility depends to a large extent on how he or she earns a living. In other words, where you stand depends on where you sit. Having served in government for ... -
