Geodetic software

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Geodetic software is software that is used in the processing of surveying tasks . It can be divided into the following subgroups.

Geodetic computing

The calculation of coordinates , distances , angles and areas on the basis of measuring elements in a Cartesian coordinate system, whereby there is usually no overdetermination.

A number of commercial software products that work with or without graphics support are used for this purpose. Some systems are specially designed for working in the field and can exchange data directly with a measuring device via an interface.

With the cloud computing software IN DUBIO PRO GEO, the complete range of geodetic calculations and adjustments with graphic support can be processed in the Internet browser . IN DUBIO PRO GEO can be used free of charge at the Internet address www.in-dubio-pro-geo.de.

Adjustment calculation

Programs for the adjustment of geodetic networks or for the calculation of coordinate transformations determine the unknown parameters, such as B. the coordinates of a new point, based on an overdetermined number of measuring elements (e.g. horizontal direction and distance ). Well-known commercial programs for network evaluation are Panda, Kafka or NetzCG. With Xdesy, JAG3D or IN DUBIO PRO GEO there are also free products for processing geodetic adjustment problems.

Photogrammetry software

Calculation of coordinates based on analog or digital photos ( measurement images ).

CAD systems

Software for the visually supported calculation of coordinates.

GIS systems

Management, analysis and visualization of geographic information .
