IHO Definition The branch of applied science which deals with the measurement and description of the physical features of oceans, seas, coastal areas, lakes and rivers, as well as with the prediction of their change over time, for the primary purpose of safety of navigation and in support of all other marine activities, including economic development, security and defense, scientific research, and environmental protection. Four major components of Hydrographic Survey refers to the location of the survey data with respect to 1. Positioning latitude and longitude. Measures from a vertical reference surface or datum to the 2. Water Depth seafloor. refers to as targets which may be hazards to navigation (i.e., 3. Features shoals, reefs and other features). 4. Seafloor refers primarily to the bottom type (i.e., mud, sand, bedrock, Characteristics coral reef). Evolution of Hydrographic Positioning Vertical & Horizontal Controls Evolution of Hydrographic Methods • Main objective Hydrographic Survey - To determine the water depth at particular Satellite-Derived Bathymetry (SDB) locations. • Soundings are the measurement of water depth and the position of soundings must be known. - Requires the determination of latitude and Sounding Pole & Lead Line longitude with respect to the desired horizontal datum. Acoustic Sounding (SBES & MBES) - The position accuracy must meet IHO S-44 standards applicable to the survey. • A Vertical Control is needed for soundings as well as Wire-drag Horizontal Control is needed to locate the soundings.

Geodetic Datum Definition Types of Geodetic Datum • A coordinate system with a reference surface that serves to provide known Horizontal Datum Vertical Datum locations to begin surveys and create maps. • Geodesists and surveyors use datum to create starting or reference points for any work requiring accurate coordinates that are consistent with one another. Note: Prior to the advent of space based measurements, geodetic datums were locally defined and were sufficient for surveyors working in that local area. Their origins differed from the geo-centre by hundreds of metres.

GNSS Positioning Mode: DGNSS Known base station (with high degree accuracy). Base station (beacon) receives signals, calculates pseudoranges to satellites, and determines range errors. Base station transmits range corrections to rover (i.e. ,via radio link). Rover station receive signals, calculate pseudoranges, and apply corrections. Corrected ranges are used to determine position. (Veripos, 2020) GNSS Positioning Mode: SBAS SBAS provides differential correction and satellite integrity monitoring to receiver via VHF radio link. SBAS consists of GNSS antennas at known location, a central control system, and a VHF radio transmitter. SBAS is also synonymous with WADGNSS, wide-area DGNSS.

The achievable accuracy of a rover is distance-dependent (baseline length between rover and base station). To achieve the best accuracy, the preferable baseline must be less than 40 km. (Veripos, 2020) GNSS Positioning Mode: Post-processed PPP Post-processed PPP solution depends on the satellite clock, orbit, and atmospheric corrections, generated from the reference stations. The generated corrections are used by the receiver without base station. The achievable accuracy (cm level) depends on the quality of the corrections. Post-processed PPP system involves corrections from the service provider. (Adapted from Veripos, 2020) GNSS Positioning Mode: Real-time PPP Real-time PPP solution depends on the satellite clock, orbit and atmospheric corrections, generated from the reference stations. The generated corrections are used by the receiver without base station. The achievable accuracy (decimetre level) and the convergence time depends on the quality of the correction services. Real-time PPP systems typically charge a fee to access the corrections.

  • Part V: the Global Positioning System ______
    PART V: THE GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM ______________________________________________________________________________ 5.1 Background The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite based, passive, three dimensional navigational system operated and maintained by the Department of Defense (DOD) having the primary purpose of supporting tactical and strategic military operations. Like many systems initially designed for military purposes, GPS has been found to be an indispensable tool for many civilian applications, not the least of which are surveying and mapping uses. There are currently three general modes that GPS users have adopted: absolute, differential and relative. Absolute GPS can best be described by a single user occupying a single point with a single receiver. Typically a lower grade receiver using only the coarse acquisition code generated by the satellites is used and errors can approach the 100m range. While absolute GPS will not support typical MDOT survey requirements it may be very useful in reconnaissance work. Differential GPS or DGPS employs a base receiver transmitting differential corrections to a roving receiver. It, too, only makes use of the coarse acquisition code. Accuracies are typically in the sub- meter range. DGPS may be of use in certain mapping applications such as topographic or hydrographic surveys. DGPS should not be confused with Real Time Kinematic or RTK GPS surveying. Relative GPS surveying employs multiple receivers simultaneously observing multiple points and makes use of carrier phase measurements. Relative positioning is less concerned with the absolute positions of the occupied points than with the relative vector (dX, dY, dZ) between them. 5.2 GPS Segments The Global Positioning System is made of three segments: the Space Segment, the Control Segment and the User Segment.

  • Terms for Coordinates Azimuth Angle Measured from North Clockwise
    Terms for Coordinates Azimuth Angle measured from north clockwise. North is 0 degrees, east is 90 degrees etc. Three common forms of azimuth exist: true azimuth, magnetic azimuth, and grid azimuth. Angular Coordinates Latitude, Longitude, and Height can specify a location. This is called an angular frame. To obtain angular coordinates in a spherical earth system, only the radius is needed. This is needed only for the height. For an ellipsoidal earth the parameters of the ellipsoid must be specified to convert height and latitude. (To obtain geographic, or mean sea level, height the geoid is needed. Cartesian Coordinates Standard x-y-z coordinates. Three axes perpendicular to each other meet at the origin, or center of the coordinate system. The coordinates of a point are the projection of the location on these axes. Circle, Great A great circle is a circle on the earth whose center is the center of the earth. Alternately, it is the intersection of a plane and a sphere when the center of the sphere is on the plane. Shortest distance between two points on the earth in spherical model is a great circle. Meridians are great circles. Circle, Small A small circle is a circle on the earth whose center is not the center of the earth. Alternately, it is the intersection of a plane and a sphere when the center of the sphere is not on the plane. Parallels of latitude are small circles. Coordinate Frame In general this refers to a Cartesian system of coordinates. The location of the origin and the orientation of the axes with respect to the real earth are also included.

  • Types of Coordinate Systems What Are Map Projections?
    What are map projections? Page 1 of 155 What are map projections? ArcGIS 10 Within ArcGIS, every dataset has a coordinate system, which is used to integrate it with other geographic data layers within a common coordinate framework such as a map. Coordinate systems enable you to integrate datasets within maps as well as to perform various integrated analytical operations such as overlaying data layers from disparate sources and coordinate systems. What is a coordinate system? Coordinate systems enable geographic datasets to use common locations for integration. A coordinate system is a reference system used to represent the locations of geographic features, imagery, and observations such as GPS locations within a common geographic framework. Each coordinate system is defined by: Its measurement framework which is either geographic (in which spherical coordinates are measured from the earth's center) or planimetric (in which the earth's coordinates are projected onto a two-dimensional planar surface). Unit of measurement (typically feet or meters for projected coordinate systems or decimal degrees for latitude–longitude). The definition of the map projection for projected coordinate systems. Other measurement system properties such as a spheroid of reference, a datum, and projection parameters like one or more standard parallels, a central meridian, and possible shifts in the x- and y-directions. Types of coordinate systems There are two common types of coordinate systems used in GIS: A global or spherical coordinate system such as latitude–longitude. These are often referred to file://C:\Documents and Settings\lisac\Local Settings\Temp\~hhB2DA.htm 10/4/2010 What are map projections? Page 2 of 155 as geographic coordinate systems.
