To acquire basic and applied knowledge in the field of geodesy, geomatics and geoinformatics. To acquire basic and applied knowledge in the field of geodetic measurements techniques.

Acquired knowledge is used in professional courses, as well as in the recognition and in solving the engineering problems.

Lecture content: • Fundamental techniques for geodetic measuring. Measuring angles in geodesy. Measuring length in geodesy. Measurement of height differences in geodesy. GPS measurements in geodesy (basic properties of the existing systems: GPS, GLONAS, GALILEO …). Measuring errors. Standards in surveying, in the world and in the country. Contemporary systems in surveying. • Principles for determining orthometric heights of points. General levelling, classification, regulations and working conditions. Stabilization of levelling networks, referential points and calculation of levelling trains (A simple and rigorous method). Sources of errors in levelling due to the influence of atmospheric parameters, device imperfections and personal mistakes. Trigonometric measuring of height differences, influence of refraction, Earth`s curves and absolute point heights on the obtained measuring result. Detailed leveling. Practice content: Practical application of the presented concepts from lectures.

Teaching forms: lectures, computer practice and auditory, consultations, individual elaboration of compulsory tasks, colloquiums. Knowledge evaluation: guided and individual elaboration of obligatory tasks; tests; final examination in oral form (theoretical and practical).
