Network Adjustment (NAD)
NAD can be used as a component, SDK or end user application. It does what it says, it adjusts a geodetic or surveying network using advanced techniques, makes use of a statistical library to evaluate the results, calculates the absolute and relative error ellipses and much more.
Tasks we can accomplish using NAD
- Treat a node as fully or partially known (both X and Y or just one of them)
- Add distance and azimuth constraints
- Compute unknown node approximate coordinates
- Set distance and direction variances
- Add or remove or alter measurements
- Visualize network
- Produce statistical results
- Adjust measurements and finally get the final adjusted network
NAD can be extended to handle more tasks in the future.
You can use it as it is as a stand alone application, embed it in your own app, or just use the framework's functions to achieve the best result for your needs.
It's written entirely in .NET (Visual Basic, still can be used in C# or any other .NET language), source code is also available on demand.
