Lecture 2.
The determination of the geometry and the size of 1st order
triangulation networks.
Outline
The determination of the shape of triangulation
networks
• network design;
• reconnaisance;
• point marking, constructing the network;
• permanent marking of points, monuments;
• observation techniques.
The determination of the size of the network
• the determination of principal baselines;
• baseline developing methods;
• baseline developments in Hungary;
• angular observations.
Trilaterations
Shape of Networks – Network Design
Design criteria:
• creating a frame with a low number of approx.
equilateral triangles with approx. same size;
• bigger triangles -> less needed -> decreases the propagation of
error
• smaller triangles -> more needed -> cheaper to measure one point
(smaller marks, faster)
• on plains big triangles should be avoided due to the fact that the line
of sight is close to the surface -> meteorological effects
In Hungary:
• average point distance is approx. 30
km (in other countries up to 50 km)
Shape of Networks – Network Design
Design criteria:
• the shape of triangles:
•
angles must be larger than 30°;
• stations must on the highest topography in the area (hill tops)
• the structure of the network:
• homogeneous, or chains + fills (size of the country, computational
facilities);
• in case of chains we must decide on the location of astronomical
observations (twin points in a distance of 120-150 km, located at the
junction and breaks of chains) -> decrease the effect of angular
distortions in the network;
• in case of chains the location of baselines (to determine the size of
the network) should also be chosen;
• the location of suitable places have an impact on the location of
chains.
•The 2nd order network:
• at the centroid of the triangles, intervisible with all the three
adjacent 1st order point and the adjacent 2nd order points;
• when the above criteria is too tight, then more 2nd order point is
established in the triangle;

Shape of Networks – Network Design
Design criteria:
• intervisibility:
•
in the 1st order network it is a must, in 2nd and 3rd order network it
is preferable.
• maintenance of network:
• high-order-points must be permanently marked:
• long observation period (many years);
• must create a consistent frame for the network.
• checking the intervisibility / determining the size of the
marks:
• the line of sight must not intersect the topography, building,
vegetation, etc;
• graphical and mathematical methods, which include the effect of
Earth curvature.
Checking the intervisibility
Reconnaisance
To check the network design on the field. Is the designed
network feasible?
• reconnaisance to check the network design in previously
mapped areas;
• checking the status of existing network points in case of
remeasurement of existing networks (usually vegetation is
checked and the existence of intervisibility);
• reconnaisance and planning of network in previously
unmapped areas (planes, helicopters, aerial photos).
• Are the points suitable for the
observations?
• Is there a better location in the
vicinity?
• How high the observation tower
or the mark should be?
• Additional approval is needed
(natural reserves, local
authorities, military authorities,
etc.)
Reconnaisance
Checklist:
• point should be located at the highest points of the
topography;
• the point should be stable and prevail for a long period;
• good visibility;
• the vicinity should be suitable for building high marks
(observation towers);
• good transportation (car, truck);
• suitable location for densification of the network;
• intervisibility with the adjacent points (preliminary
coordinates are needed to check with WCBs).

Observation Techniques
• Direction observations
• deformation of tripods have an impact;
• all the stations should be intervisible;
• Angle observations
• directly measured angles have the same
weight -> indirect angles have different
weights -> different methods
• pair of targets should be visible;
• moderate effect of the deformation of
tripods;
Observation Techniques
Angle observations in all combinations:
• all the angles are measured which can be
formed between the k number of tagets (but not
the complementer angles)
k
k  1

combinations -> increased number of observations
For each angle (k-1) values can be computed, one is a direct
observation, the others are indirect ones, thus the weight of one
angle is:
pangle  s 

k  2  sk

The weight depends on the
number of directions!
Observation Techniques
Schreiber angular observations
The weight of a direction is predefined:
pdir  pi  sk  const
Since pi depends on the number of repetitions, the number of
repetitions depend on the number of directions.
Angles can be measured in arbitrary sequence ->only two directions
should be visible at one time.

The Det. of the size of the Network
The scale of the network must be
determined.
Distances must be determined
- length observations + baseline extensions
- distance observations
Baseline extension methods
Rhombus networks
• contains one or more rhombus inserted into each other;
• usually the shorter diagonal is measured;
Triangular networks
• formed by equilateral triangles;
• one side of the triangle is measured (at the edge, or in the
middle);
Various baseline extension networks
The scale factor of baseline extension nets
The scale factor is the ratio between the measured length
and the extended baseline length.

Note: the error of the length observations are multiplied!
Angular observations in baseline ext. nets.
The scale factor depends on the geometry of the network.
Rhombus networks:
• when N>3 then usually 2 rhombus are better than 1.
More than 3 rhombus are not necessary.
• more economical (less observations)
Triangle networks:
• when the measured side is in the middle and
perpendicular to the extended baseline, the triangle
networks are better than the rhombus networks.
• when the measured length is at the edge, the rhombus
network outperforms the triangle network (with the same
N)
