6th Edition
by Charles D. Ghilani (Author)
The definitive guide to bringing accuracy to measurement, updated and supplemented
Adjustment Computations
is the classic textbook for spatial information analysis and adjustment
computations, providing clear, easy-to-understand instruction backed by
real-world practicality. From the basic terms and fundamentals of
errors to specific adjustment computations and spatial information
analysis, this book covers the methodologies and tools that bring
accuracy to surveying, GNSS, GIS, and other spatial technologies. Broad
in scope yet rich in detail, the discussion avoids overly-complex theory
in favor of practical techniques for students and professionals. This
new sixth edition has been updated to align with the latest developments
in this rapidly expanding field, and includes new video lessons and
updated problems, including worked problems in STATS, MATRIX, ADJUST,
and MathCAD.
All measurement produces some amount of error;
whether from human mistakes, instrumentation inaccuracy, or
environmental features, these errors must be accounted and adjusted for
when accuracy is critical. This book describes how errors are
identified, analyzed, measured, and corrected, with a focus on least
squares adjustment—the most rigorous methodology available.
- Apply industry-standard methodologies to error analysis and adjustment
- Translate your skills to the real-world with instruction focused on the practical
- Master the fundamentals as well as specific computations and analysis
- Strengthen your understanding of critical topics on the Fundamentals in Surveying Licensing Exam
As
spatial technologies expand in both use and capability, so does our
need for professionals who understand how to check and adjust for errors
in spatial data. Conceptual knowledge is one thing, but practical
skills are what counts when accuracy is at stake; Adjustment Computations provides the real-world training you need to identify, analyze, and correct for potentially crucial errors.
