Abstract

This paper describes the algorithm of a computer program to obtain the compensated coordinates of a station using intersection, resection and distances, all together or independently. The algorithm uses the variation of coordinates method to state the weighted observation equations and the solution is obtained by least squares adjustment. It takes an approximate point whose coordinates are computed by the program itself, with severed hypotheses. Finally, it also calculates the standard circular error.
