This lecture, which is given in German only, introduces the students to the scientific foundations, the methods, and the terminology of Applied Geodesy. In particular, the students should gain a sound understanding of the measurements and data processing steps which allow representing the surface of the earth and spatial objects within two-dimensional planar coordinate systems. Students will also acquire an overview of typical tasks of Applied Geodesy.
Tasks of Applied Geodesy; introduction to planar coordinate systems; control point networks and coordinate determination (2d); measurement instruments (basic components, theodolite); angle measurement; measurement deviations; similarity transformation (2d).
