Jubilee Seminar: 25 years of Motorised Levelling
Geodesy & Surveying in the Future
The Importance of Heights
March 15-17, 1999 Gävle, Sweden
3rd Circular Letter

Who should attend?
The technical evolution goes more and more to automated Robotized Real Time surveying techniques using different kind of instrumentations. The geodesists, surveyors, teachers, students and others dealing with surveying have to face many problems in their work. Different solutions are accessible to do this work but to achieve it in the best we need much more knowledge and developments in this field.
This seminar will give a very deep information about the possibilities and limitations existing today and a look in the future. It will be of a great help for every one when dealing with these questions. The seminar will focus on questions concerning height determination
Workshop topics
 | How can we help the surveyor in his daily work, today and tomorrow? |
| Modern techniques for height determinations as GPS, INS, and Digital Levels. |
| Real Time Kinematic heighting as Robotised and Motorised Levelling Techniques (ML, MTL, RPLS etc.). |
| Computation techniques and analysis of results. |
| Reference Frame and Systems. Transformations between different height system. |
| Ongoing national and international projects. |
| Questions about the future levelling networks. 1D or (2D+1D). |
| Connection to tide gauges. |
| Accuracy limitation factors in height determination. |
| Calibration of instruments. Guidelines and standards |
