Beskrivning

This book gives an up-to-date introduction to electronic distance measurement (EDM) with a comprehensive review of modern equipment and procedures. It is excellently suited for undergraduate and graduate students and is an invaluable reference for practicing surveyors, geodesists and other scientists using EDM as a measuring tool. This corrected and updated fourth edition is based on Rueger's teaching experience at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia.
