Description
This book updates a classic in the field of surveying, and one of the few books dealing with the important issue of error in spatial data. This book is widely known for its comprehensive yet understandable treatment of adjustment computations and error correction of spatial data. While it was originally written for surveyors, it has expanded over the years to encompass the needs of new spatial technologies as they've been introduced (GPS, GIS) and new analytical techniques as they find acceptance.
