THE DEFINITION AND ADJUSTMENT OF THE FIJI GEODETIC DATUM – 1986

Survey Review, 1989
AbstractDeveloping nations which hold to a concept of private ownership or administration of land require survey and cadastral systems capable of supporting modern definition and information needs. Fiji is such a nation. This paper outlines the procedures followed in the definition and adjustment of the 1986 Fiji Geodetic Datum drawing particular ...

The use of space techniques for the connection of geodetic datums

Advances in Space Research, 1986
Abstract Several techniques can provide now for ground stations tridimensional coordinates in global geodetic datum ranging from metre to centimetre. These techniques are basically : VLBI, Laser Ranging to the Moon or artificial satellites such as Lageos or Starlette, range and/or range-rate radio electric tracking of satellites such as Transit ...

Proposed absolute datum for Indian geodetic system

Bulletin Géodésique, 1981
The international ellipsoid, 1924, was locally fitted to the Indian geoid in 1927. An attempt is here made to obtain the initial values for the Indian geodetic datum (I.G.D.) in absolute terms by gravimetric method using the available gravity material. The values obtained independently by the author’s least-squares solution technique, making use of the

DATUM TRANSFORMATION PARAMETERS FOR THE KENYA GEODETIC SYSTEM

Survey Review, 1993
AbstractA summary of the history of geodetic control surveys in Kenya is given and this is related to a geodetic datum. Determination of datum transformation parameters is carried out for the 7-parameter and 3-parameter models using 25 points distributed over the country.

Review of Problems Associated with Conventional Geodetic Datums

The Canadian Surveyor, 1974
After discussing the parameters needed to define a horizontal geodetic datum, the paper reviews the development of the major geodetic datums. The problem of determining the interrelationships between the various datums is analyzed and current transformation parameters are presented.

DETERMINATION OF A LOCAL GEODETIC DATUM FROM ASTROGEODESY

Survey Review, 1980
Abstract Several methods of choosing a local geodetic datum, based on astrogeodetic deflections of the vertical, are presented. The results of applying these methods to a test network covering about 200 000 square kilometres in western New South Wales, containing sufficient astronomical stations for reliable astrogeodetic levelling, are computed and ...

Reference Systems, Reference Frames, and the Geodetic Datum

2008
Unambiguous reference systems are a fundamental requirement for accurate and reliable geodetic products. The definition of the reference system, the realization by a reference frame, and the allocation of the geodetic datum have to be strictly coherent.
