DETERMINATION OF SIGHTING ERRORS THROUGH VARIATION OF COLOR AND FORM OF THE SIGHTING MARKS,

Abstract

The study is concerned with the sighting error of optical theodolites in conjunction with sighting disks in polygonometry. The sighting error is a measure for the uncertainty in pointing the line of sight of a sighting telescope on a target. It is the summary expression for the conjoined action of its four components: (1) error of the observer, (2) error of the instrument, (3) error of the medium, and (4) error of the target. Results of the investigation of the four Sighting-Error Components are presented.
