What is QMS

A computer application on the AHO intranet and DEFWEB that employs a database and search engine to deliver Survey documentation in a controlled environment

Purpose of Survey planning

Development of an idea for a survey to the planning conducted by the Ship to fulfil the task

Reconnaissance of a Survey

Acquire necessary data to permit the best and economical survey to be carried out.

Steps involved in planning a Survey

General Survey Plan: training, software, equipment maintenance, logistics, data requirements


Site Specific Plan: survey lines, datum, data density, personnel

3 phases of Survey

Office: timings of reconnaissance and actual survey, personnel involved, equipment required, documentation


Field: establish local contacts, network design, permanent marks, prove plan


Report: the final plan, equipment & manpower, description of the network and realistic estimation of time required

Relationship between Geoid and Ellipsoid

Geoid is an equipotential surface of the earths gravity field, closely approximates Mean Sea Level.


Ellipsoid is an arbitrary mathematically defined geometrical construct that closely approximates the earths surface

How is Ellipsoid defined

It is defined by the semi-major axes, semi-minor axes and flattening

List 4 reference Ellipsoid

WGS84


GDA 2020 & 94


ANS


ADG66

Latitude

Circles running around the globe parallel to the equator measured from the equator. Lines run parallel north-south

Longitude

Semi-circles running from the North Pole to the South Pole (East-West). Reference line the Greenwich meridian. Longitude cannot exceed 180

Great circle

A circle that will cut the sphere into two equal halves

Relationship between geodesy projections and grid

Geodesy lat and long projected on a transverse Mercator projection are distorted and don’t always appear as straight lines which make plotting and calculations difficult.


A grid is a sequence of squares superimposed on a projection so that plotting and calculations can be done with simple trig

Theory of GNSS

GNSS provides a position that is determined by means of receipt of radio signal from a satellite constellation in orbit around the Earth. It’s a real-time, all weather, 24 hour worldwide and 3 dimensional positioning system

Explain GNSS Signals

Transmits data by microwave signals that are sent in 3 parts


Navigational Message: time, SV Health


Ephemeris Data: SV precise orbit info


Almanac: SV course orbit time, Ionosphere model

3 main categories of GNSS errors

Satellite Error: clock errors, orbit errors


Atmospheric Errors: ionosphere errors, tropospheric errors


Receiver Errors: clock error, station co-ordinate

dGPS & WAdGPS

dGPS is a ground based augmentation system for GPS that can improve accuracy to +- 5 metres. It uses a system of ground based base stations whose position is accurately known.


WAdGPS is a form of dGPS where corrections are received from a network of reference stations established over a wide area.

How GNSS Receiver works

Determine a highly accurate position on the earths surface by means of a process called carrier wave phase measurement

3 methods of GNSS (PPK)

Absolute: positions determined from observations recorded by a single geodetic receiver


Classic static baseline: two receivers, both stationary, one on a known mark one on a unknown mark simultaneously recording.


On the fly: two receivers, one stationary on a known mark the other mobile simultaneously recording

PPK Concept

1. Base and rover record positions simultaneously


2. One or more rovers in motion to observe baseline to static base station


3. Continuous satellite lock during observation


4. Post processing to apply correction
