Lecture

Datum and Projection System: Topographic Base Establishment

Description

This lecture covers the establishment of a topographic base as part of a cross-border project between Geneva and neighboring France, focusing on the challenges of different geodetic references. Topics include coordinating measurements in national coordinate systems, assembling topographic data, and ensuring geometric accuracy. Practical aspects of preparing responses, presentations, and answering exam questions are also discussed, along with the importance of local reference systems. The lecture emphasizes the central theme of datum and projection systems, with a focus on GPS codes, DGPS, and transformations. Various methods for locating profiles and linking measurements to national surveys are explored, along with the consequences of choosing incorrect geodetic datums.
