UTILIZATION OF AUXILIARY DATA BY GPS FOR BLOCK ADJUSTMENT

Abstract

The use of kinematic GPS positioning in aerial triangulation can make the block adjustment methods more profitable, since its utilization reduces the number of the required ground controls. The experiments in the direction of it started at the end of the 80's in the countries of VVestern Europe and in the USA. This paper is a summary of the foreign experiences and describes a possible solution of the GPS-aided block adjustment. The paper is an extract of a presentation delivered at the IX. Seminar of Cosmic Geodesy held in Budapest on 14-th of November in 1990.
