Inertial Survey Adjustment,

Abstract

The paper discusses primarily a least-squares position adjustment for single or multiple (area coverage) inertial traverses. The adjustment technique is developed and presented in detail for a local-level inertial system and summarily generalized for a space-stable inertial system. Application of the method to other inertially derived geodetic values is discussed. (Author)
