SPECIFICATIONS FOR GPS SURVEYS |
These are dependent on the accuracy standard which is to be achieved. They
cover such aspects as:
Field procedures and monumentation
Calibration and result validation procedures
Furthermore, except for the last item, the above specifications hold equally for GPS "horizontal" and "vertical" surveys. No attempt is therefore made to optimise a GPS survey for height accuracy above that for horizontal accuracy. Each of these topics is discussed briefly below using the Australian S& S and U.S. S& S as examples. (For further details see ICSM, 1994, in the case of the Australian S& S, and FGCC, 1988, for the U.S. S& S.)
