    Prerequisite Form of prerequisites
    Theoretical geodesy, Physical geodesy, Satellite geodesy. Passed classes for attending classes, passed exams for taking exams.
    Learning objectives
    The aim of the course is to deepen the knowledge of astronomical, mechanical and geometric bases of inertial and terrestrial geodetic reference systems, their definitions, realizations and mutual relations.
    Learning outcomes
    Students have mastered the basic problem in geodesy - the reduction of measurements from the physical to the computational surface. They are trained to be able to independently perform all the necessary calculations required for the design of any type of geodetic network, as well as for the calculation of reduction parameters and proper processing of measurement results.
    Content
    Theoretical classes: Basic terms and definitions. Reference systems of Newtonian mechanics. Normal and disturbed movement of the Earth. Conventional inertial reference system. Conventional inertial reference frame. Deformable Earth and its rotation. Conventional terrestrial reference system. Conventional terrestrial reference frame. Point position modeling. Topocentric reference system. Transformations between reference systems. Practical classes: Exercises: Leveling network design - reliability and accuracy testing, preliminary accuracy estimation and detailed elaboration of measurement methods. Height systems - calculation of height differences in individual height systems, calculation of accuracy. Estimation of accuracy from performed measurements. Datum transformation. Horizontal network design - reliability and accuracy testing, preliminary accuracy estimation and detailed elaboration of measurement methods. Estimation of accuracy from performed measurements.
    Teaching Methods
    Theoretical lectures and practical exercises.
