Electromagnetic Distance Measurement

By J.J. Saastamoinen and International Association of Geodesy

Book Overview

Electromagnetic distance measurement, by using light and microwaves for direct linear measurements and thus circumventing the need for traditional methods of triangulation, may well introduce a new era in surveying. This book brings together the work of forty-eight geodesists from twenty-five countries. They discuss various new EDM instruments--among them the Tellurometer, Geodimeter, and air- and satellite-borne systems--and investigate the complex sources of error. The book is therefore a unique and comprehensive source on the subject. UNESCO and R.I.C.S. have assisted financially in its production.
