Tutor:

Lenka Línková

Supervisor:

Department of Special Geodesy

Synopsis:

Metrological terminology, metrological regulations, evaluation of precision and accuracy of a measurement, observation errors, calibration of geodetic instruments, uncertainties in measurement, metrology in quality management system.

Requirements:

no prerequisites

Syllabus of lectures:

1. Categories of metrology, measurement standards, traceability and calibration.

2. Metrological units, the SI system, standard meter.

3. Accuracy and precision, repeatability and reproducibility, errors in measurements.

4. Uncertainties in measurements.

5. International quality standards.

Syllabus of tutorials:

Practical classes are based on individual students measurements with geodetic instruments. Procedures for testing geodetic instruments described in ČSN ISO 17 123 are applied to determine and evaluate precision of these instruments.

Study Objective:

Understanding of metrological problems in a geodetic company.
