Great Article On Meeting ALTA Accuracy Specs
Posted: Thu Jun 17, 2010 8:09 am
There was a great article in a recent issue of Professional Surveyor on how to meet the accuracy specs for ALTA surveys. (Should it really be precision specs?)
You can find the article on page 28 of this issue:

I really recommend you read the article if you perform ATLA surveys, or if you do other work in which you need to meet a precision specification based on a least squares adjustment.
I know least squares can be a challenge for me to understand and properly execute. This article really simplified a part of the process for me. I wanted to share a link to the article in the hope that it would help other surveyors like me who are not least squares experts.
