A Method for the Precise Coordinate Determination of an Inaccessible Location
Surveyors are occasionally tasked to with determining the coordinates of inaccessible locations or points in civil engineering applications, ground control points for photogrammetry or LiDAR data acquisition, among others. The present work outlines and investigates a novel method for estimating the...

description | Surveyors are occasionally tasked to with determining the coordinates of inaccessible locations or points in civil engineering applications, ground control points for photogrammetry or LiDAR data acquisition, among others. The present work outlines and investigates a novel method for estimating the GNSS coordinates of an inaccessible location where a surveying instrument cannot be set up. The procedure is based on the well-known surveying intersection method and data extracted from an Earth Gravity Model (e.g., EGM 2008). The location’s coordinates are obtained from the least-squares adjustment of the angles and distances measured from at least two sites to the unknown point using a total station, within the framework of the Gauss–Helmert method. Field tests confirmed that the accuracy of the determined coordinates of the inaccessible point is at the level of 1 cm. The proposed method bypasses standard coordinate transformation steps performed with the traditional approach, directly producing geocentric coordinates of the unknown points. |
