Accuracy Assessment for 3-D Target Coordinates Estimation Using GPS & Total Station

Abstract

The Target coordinates estimation in the real world (3-D) was important applications in the geodesy and many remote sensing applications, for this purpose, the GPS/DGPS, and the Total Station were used to create and estimate the new target coordinate. In this paper, the Total Station Leica 1200 with Garmin navigator GPS were used to extract the 3-D coordinates of target from the measurement of TS position. For six point for one station. The Garmine GPS navigator was use to find the coordinates for each points and the total station position. Many mathematical process were used to evaluate the results of accuracy using written subroutines in Matlab (version 7.4.0 R 2007a) environmental.
