  2. Geodetic control network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geodetic_control_network

    A geodetic control network consists of stable, identifiable points with published datum values derived from observations that tie the points together. [ 1 ] Classically, a control is divided into horizontal (X-Y) and vertical (Z) controls (components of the control), however with the advent of satellite navigation systems, GPS in particular ...

  3. Traverse (surveying) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traverse_(surveying)

    Traverse is a method in the field of surveying to establish control networks. [1] It is also used in geodesy. Traverse networks involve placing survey stations along a line or path of travel, and then using the previously surveyed points as a base for observing the next point.

  4. Benchmarking (hobby) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benchmarking_(hobby)

    Benchmarking, also known as benchmark hunting, [1] is a hobby activity in which participants find benchmarks (also known as survey markers or geodetic control points). The term "benchmark" is used only to refer to survey markers that designate a certain elevation , but hobbyists often use the term benchmarks to include triangulation stations or ...

  5. Survey marker - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Survey_marker

    Survey markers, also called survey marks, survey monuments, or geodetic marks, are objects placed to mark key survey points on the Earth's surface. They are used in geodetic and land surveying . A benchmark is a type of survey marker that indicates elevation ( vertical position ).

  6. Geodesy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geodesy

    Geodetic positioning employs geodetic methods to determine a set of precise geodetic coordinates of a point on land, at sea, or in space. It may be done within a coordinate system (point positioning or absolute positioning) or relative to another point (relative positioning). One computes the position of a point in space from measurements ...

    en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/page/mobile-html/...

    A geodetic datum or geodetic system (also: geodetic reference datum, geodetic reference system, or geodetic reference frame, or terrestrial reference frame) is a global datum reference or reference frame for unambiguously representing the position of locations on Earth by means of either geodetic coordinates (and related vertical coordinates) or geocentric coordinates.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_musical_symbols

    Musical symbols are marks and symbols in musical notation that indicate various aspects of how a piece of music is to be performed. There are symbols to communicate information about many musical elements, including pitch, duration, dynamics, or articulation of musical notes; tempo, metre, form (e.g., whether sections are repeated), and details about specific playing techniques (e.g., which ...
