Abstract

Area computation has always been an important task for land surveyors. Until recently the hydrographic surveyor could utilize approximative methods, as results up to 0.1 km2 were sufficient for many purposes. Investigations resulted in computation algorithms, usable on the ellipsoid, with accuracies of the square metre magnitude.
