OBJECTIVES:
To understand the working of Total Station and GPS equipment and solve the surveying problems.
UNIT I FUNDAMENTALS OF TOTAL STATION AND GPS
Basic Principles of Total Station, Historical Development, Classifications, applications and comparison with conventional surveying. Global Navigation System, Regional Navigation System and SBAS – Basic concepts of GNSS, Glonass, IRNSS – Historical perspective and development – applications – Geoid and Ellipsoid- satellite orbital motion – Keplerian motion – Kepler’s Law – Perturbing forces – Geodetic satellite – Doppler effect- Different Coordinate and Time System.
UNIT II ELECTRO OPTICAL AND MICRO WAVE TOTAL STATION
Computation of group Refractive Index for light, near infrared and microwaves – First velocity correction and Second velocity correction – Electro-optical system: Measuring principle, Working principle, Sources of Error, Infrared and Laser Total Station instruments. Microwave system: Measuring principle, working principle, Sources of Error, Microwave Total Station instruments.. Care and maintenance of Total Station instruments – Applications of COGO functions -Traversing and Trilateration – Topographic mapping – Recent trends.
UNIT III GPS SATELLITE SYSTEM AND DATA PROCESSING
GPS – Segments – Space, Control and User segments – satellite configuration – GPS signal structure – Orbit determination and representation – Anti Spoofing and Selective Availability – GPS receivers GPS observables – code and carrier phase observation – linear combination and derived observables – concept of parameter estimation – Data processing – software modules -solutions of cycle slips, ambiguities, RINEX format. Concepts of rapid, static methods with GPS – semi Kinematic, pure Kinematic and Real time kinematic methods – Case studies.
