Proceedings of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Surveying Conference Held at Jacksonville, Florida on 4-8 February 1985,

Abstract

This conference considered both land and hydrographic surveying. Session topics included: Hydrographic Equipment Developments--Digital signal proessor techniques as an aid to hydrographic and dredging surveys; and the next generation survey echo sounder; Hydrographic Sweep Systems and Vessel Design--Multi-transducer survey sweep system; and SWATH vessel test and evaluation; Beach and Nearshore Surveys--Surf zone and nearshore surveying with helicopter and a total station; and A method for adjusting beach profile lines for offshore closure; Tides--Application of water level data to sounding reducers; and Intercomparison of bubbler gauges and pressure transducers; Hydrographic Positioning Systems and Data Processing--Portable acoustic navigation system for hydrographic surveys; Hydrographic data processing using Hewlett Packard-200 series computers; and Parallel line hydropgraphic surveying; Remote Sensing; Control--The North American Datum of 1983 Project status; North American Vertical Datum update; and Vertically stable benchmarks; Topographic Development--Determining an azimuth with a north seeking gyro; and Field to finish surveying with the Wild surveying system; Airborne Lasers--Profiling, mapping, and terrain profiling; Global Positioning System; and Photogrammetry.
