Pada sesi 2003/04 seramai tiga pelajar berjaya menyiapkan tesis BSurv di bawah seliaan saya iaitu; Ernyza binti Endot "Pembangunan perisian analisa deformasi Kaedah Fredericton". Mohd Azwan bin Abbas "Pemakaian dan pemprosesan data geoteknik dalam kerja ukur deformasi". Lee Cheh Hang "Penggunaan APSWin dalam ukur deformasi". Ernyza memfokus kerjanya untuk memperbaiki rutin yang dibangun oleh Ng Ah Lee sebelum ini dengan mengubahnya kepada operasi window. Azwan pula cuba membangunkan rutin untuk memproses data yang diperolehi dari peralatan geoteknik. Ketiga-tiga mereka kemudiannya menyambung pengajian ke peringkat MSc di FGHT. Mohd Azwan mendapat penajaan dari Uitm sebagai staf akademik muda manakala Ernyza dan Cheh Hang dibiaya melalui vot penyelidikan Cimes. Tasek Dal - - - - - -

Source: Amos & WEF (2003) “Preparation of a new ….” NZ Surveyor The paper described that free-air gravity anomalies were computed; from IGSN71-corrected gravity observations by subtracting the value of normal gravity at the geocentric observation latitude, then adding the second-order free air correction and atmospheric correction for the for the observation elevation (above local MSL) A second-order free air correction is a more accurate representation of the vertical gradient of gravity for an ellipsoidal Earth because it takes into account the variation of normal gravity with latitude as well as higher order terms in height.  Why do atmospheric correction? i) AC accounts for the mass-inconsistency between the GRS80 normal ellipsoid and gravity observed on the Earth surface, as well as ii) the gravitational attraction of the atmosphere above the gravity observation point, iii)  AC also needed to make the terrestrial gravity anomalies consistent with those derived from th...

  IAG 127 is the proceedings of the V Hotine-Marussi Symposium on Mathematical Geodesy. The symposium was held in Matera, Italy in June 2003 hosted by Italian Space Agency. The place is the  largest Italian facility for space geodetic observations including the quite impressive device for satellite and lunar laser ranging and the giant VLBI antenna. IAG 127 (Published in 2004) Among the interesting papers ; "Gaussian differential geometry and differential geodesy" by Joseph D Zund of New Mexico Uni.  This paper presents an appreciation of the work of Marussi and Hotine, and gives a survey of Gaussian differential geometry which are required in formulating the generalized Marussi-Hotine approach to differential geodesy. - - - - -

Syarikat Wild yang berpengkalan di Heerbrugg amat terkenal dengan produk peralatan ukur. Sejarah penubuhan dan perkembangan Syarikat Wild sudah pun mejangkau ratusan tahun usianya. Ia mula ditibhukan pada 1921 dengan nama Wild Heerbrugg. Tokoh yang berjasa disebalik penubuhan Wild Heerbrugg adalah Jacob Kern (d.1867). Berikut sedikit ringkasan tentang perkembangan Wild.

IAG 124 "Vertical Reference Systems" is the proceedings of the IAG Symposium on Vertical References Systems held in Cartagena, Colombia in February 2001. Reasons for organizing this symposium were the great success and the ongoing activities of the Project on the South American Geocentric Reference System (Sistema de Referencia Geocentrico para America del Sur, SIRGAS) being sponsored by lAG and PAIGH since 1993. The proceedings was edited by Hermann Drewes (DGF), Alan Dodson (Nott U), Luis Paulo Souto Fortes (IBGE Brazil), Laura Sanchez (ICAG Colombia) and Pedro Sandoval (IGAC Colombia). The Series editor was Fernando Sanso. It was attended by 130 participants from 30 countries.

Among the early paper on TLS surveying was “Ground-based laser scanners: Operation, systems and applications” written by Lichti, Gordon & Stewart of Curtin University. The paper was published in Geomatica 56(1) in 2002. Four scanner systems were discussed; a)        RIEGL LMS-Z210 (used by I-Site Laser Imanging, Australia) b)        Cyrax 2500 from Cyra Technologies USA c)        Callidus 3D Laser System (from German) d)        Optech ILRIS-3D Lidar Imaging Syatem (Canada) Case studies undertaken were structural monitoring of North Dandalup Dam, WA; Toodyay bridge WA; simulated deformation testing at Curtin University Calibration Field. These works are used to illustrate the practical use laser scanning for monitoring purposes.     Cyrax 2500 Riegl LMS-Z210 - - - - -
