Geodesy
The present state of geodesy is illustrated by selected examples of instruments and results of geodetic data processing. An extensive reference list supports further studies."--BOOK JACKET.
Geodesy
This book covers the entire field of geodesy and is intended to serve as an introductory textbook for graduate students as well as a reference for scientists and engineers in the fields of geodesy, geophysics, surveying engineering, and geomatics. It provides a systematic overview of fundamental theory in physical geodesy, reference systems, and space and terrestrial measurement methods, together with the respective modeling techniques. The fourth edition has been thoroughly revised and extended in order to reflect the central role which geodesy has achieved in the past ten years, within the concert of geosciences observing the global change of our planet. Space techniques are now the predom...
Gravimetry
Torge (geodesy, U. of Hannover) gives a sound synopsis of current gravity measuring systems, their use, and data processing and evaluation. He takes note of the sources of error in measurements, and speculates upon achievable precision. Sections cover theory, the space-time structure of the exterior gravity field, practical value, absolute and relative measurements, gravimetric surveys, gradiometry.

Geodesy
This book gives a systematic overview of the fundamental theories, frameworks and methods for measurement and evaluation applying to geodesy, though the contribution of geodetic spatial techniques for positioning and for establishing the gravitational field receives particular emphasis. These methods have led to a change in the setting up of geodetic basic networks that is also of importance in practical terms; for interdisciplinary geodynamics research geodesy can likewise make major contributions with their assistance. The current status of geodesy is illustrated by numerous examples from survey, evaluation and analysis; an extensive literature list makes further study all the easier. The book conveys an extensive overview of the profound changes that geodesy has undergone in the past twenty years.
Close-Range Photogrammetry and 3D Imaging
The fourth edition of this well-known guide to close-range photogrammetry provides a thorough presentation of the methods, mathematics, systems and applications which comprise the subject of close-range photogrammetry. The authors present accurate imaging techniques to analyse the three-dimensional shape of a wide range of manufactured and natural objects. 1st edition awarded the Karl-Kraus-Medal for “Best International Textbook’’. Covers all current and established technology features and recent technology developments of signifi cance. New topics include: aspherical lenses, hyperspectral camera and colour calibration.
Quantities and Units
Precision and uniformity are indispensable when working with physical quantities, units and formula symbols. Only through unambiguous and authoritative notation is interdisciplinary cooperation possible. The book gives an overview of all common quantities and units, which are needed in studies and teaching as well as in everyday work. All printed quantities and units are currently valid and standardized in ISO/IEC. The book includes: _brief introduction to the development of the system of units _overview on the system of quantities and units _calculating with quantity values _units (international system of units, SI) _notation of numbers _mathematical symbols _Standardized symbols for quantities (mechanics, space and time, radiation, solid state physics, etc.), elements, nuclides, particles and quantum states. _Appendix: conversion to the U.S. customary system of units.
Measurement Uncertainties
This book elucidates the complexities surrounding measurement uncertainties, offering detailed insights into uncertainty analysis, error propagation, and calibration methodologies. Through rigorous examination, it provides practical strategies for mitigating measurement errors and enhancing precision. An essential reading for students seeking a thorough understanding of uncertainty quantification.
