Geodetic Control Network

    0.01 sec.
Geodetic Control Network 

a network or system of points selected in a definite manner and marked on the ground, serving as control points for topographical surveying and geodetic measurements on the ground. A distinction is made between the plane geodetic control network and the altitudinal geodetic control network. The plane network is constructed primarily by the method of triangulation, and the relative position of its points is determined by geodetic coordinates or, more frequently, rectangular coordinates. The altitudinal geodetic control network (leveling network) is constructed by the method of geometric leveling, which is used to determine the altitude of points above sea level. The geodetic control network is of great practical importance in compiling topographical maps and determining the shape and size of the earth.

In the closing days of WW II, the Allied Powers discovered that the German war effort had made significant advances in geodetic control networks, in analytical photogrammetry, and in cartographic analysis.
The program includes: -- High Sensitivity Aeromagnetic Surveys -- Geological Mapping From Satellite Imagery -- Land Gravity Surveys Over Selected Anomalies -- GPS/Inertial Geodetic Control Network -- Orthophoto Base Maps The program, covering 300,000 square kilometers of concession area, will be interpreted by a team of world renowned geophysical experts.
His experience includes the orchestration and establishment of permanent geodetic control networks, management of GPS data collection and data processing, GIS implementation, database design, information analysis, research and development, technical reporting and overall quality control of GIS related projects.
