GEODESY - Reference and coordinate systems, Earth gravity field, geoid, ellipsoid, geoid undulation, oriented and geocentric ellipsoids, concept of datum, datums used in Italy, geodetic coordinates, natural coordinates, geocentric Cartesian coordinates, local Cartesian coordinates, local level Cartesian coordinates, transformations between coordinate systems and between datums, geometry of the ellipsoid, definitions of some geodetic quantities, geometric approximations of the ellipsoid and of the gravity field. GIS: GIS applications of the concepts of DATUm, projection and transformations between different geodetic datums. Theodolite: general characteristics of the instrument, definitions of measurable quantities, angular measurements and their errors, operational procedures to reduce the effects of errors, accuracies. Level: general characteristics of the instrument, definition of measurable quantity, direct measurement of height differences and its errors, operating procedures to reduce the effects of errors, accuracies. Distance measurement: definition of measurable quantity, methods and their fields of application; wave and pulse distance meters, operating principles, accuracies. GPS: general characteristics of the system, principle of operation, pseudorange and phase measurements, linear combinations of phase measurements, notes on processing GPS measurements for topographical purposes, GPS base. Fundamentals of surveying operations, mixed terrestrial and GPS surveys. ORTHORECTICS - Basic concepts of satellite frame orientation, their precision and accuracy. CARTOGRAPHY - Concept of cartographic representation, cartographic deformations, types of cartographic Cartography - Concept of cartographic representation, deformations, types of cartographic representations, grafic error, equations of cartographic representations, conformal representations, Gauss representation, hints at geodetic calculations on the plane of Gauss representation, cartographic systems used in Italy, official Italian cartography, hints at numerical cartography. Reading of coordinates on a section of the Italian map at a scale of 1:25000.

No specific skills are required but basic mathematical and statistical knowledge as provided by the previous subjects is advisable.

TEACHING MATERIALS available on the course page hosted on: elearning.uniroma1.it

The examination consists of an oral interview aimed at assessing the ability to analyse and revise the concepts acquired. of the concepts acquired. The examination is graded from 0 to 30 and is conducted in oral form subject to prior booking by the student. The expected learning outcomes in terms of knowledge of the subject and the ability to apply it are assessed during the examination, together with communication skills, the ability to draw conclusions and the capacity for self-learning.

Students are free to attend or prepare on the material made available on the course web page hosted by elearning.uniroma1.it. The programme and examination procedures are the same for both students and non-attending students.

Generally, three questions are asked on three different topics, each of which has the same value, so 10 points towards the final result. However, the student must demonstrate at least a basic knowledge of all three topics otherwise the examination is failed.

Recommended optional texts: - W Schofield, M. Breach, "Engineering Surveying", Butterworth-Heinemann (Elsevier) - China A., "Treatment of topographic measurements"; Ed. Celid.

Teaching will be delivered in face-to-face, remote or blended modes in accordance with the University's current regulations.
