What is Datum?
A datum (plural datums
datums)) is a reference from which
measurements are made
made..
It is an associated model of the shape of the earth (ellipsoid) to
define a Geographic Coordinates
Coordinates..
Horizontal datums are used for describing a point on the
earths surface, in latitude and longitude or another coordinate
system..
system
Vertical datums measure elevations or depths

The Ellipsoid
The Geoid is a complicated surface defined by infinite
number of observed gravity points, hence not suitable to
perform mathematical computations
computations..
The ellipsoidal surface is smooth and convenient for
mathematical operations
operations..
Therefore ellipsoid is widely used as the reference surface
(datum) for horizontal coordinates in geodetic network

IGS
The International GNSS Service (IGS) is a voluntary federation of
many worldwide agencies
IGS collects, archives, and distributes GPS observation data sets of
sufficient accuracy to satisfy the objectives of a wide range of
applications and experimentation

PROJECTS IN PIPELINE
Virtual Reference Station Network
Corrections issued by a beacon installed at continuous operating
GPS Reference Stations, when received by an observer in the area
of work can find out position with sub
sub--metre accuracy with single
small portable receiver .
It will enable quick mapping and updation of maps, cadastral
mapping using single receivers
receivers..
It can be used for the tracking and navigation (Rail/Road/Air) and
for many other applications such as maintaining accurate land
records and land uses, Infrastructure Project Planning etc
etc..
With GCP Library Stations already in place, such a network is
being conceived and a proposal is in the final stages of preparation
for submission
submission..
It is estimated that total cost of the project will be in tune of Rs
500 crores
crores..
CONCLUSION
Provision of dense control at a spacing of less than 20 km will benefit the
user community in many ways
ways..
The biggest benefit will be the standardisation of our land records, which is
hitherto in very bad shape inviting number of litigations
litigations..
So far our land records are mostly on Cassini Projection, which is a
equidistant projection
projection.. Distortion of area and shape are functions of distance
from central meridian
meridian.. Scale is true along central meridian only
only.. Because of
which it can not be used for bigger areas
areas.. Therefore, land records are
maintained in pieces and seamless record is not possible/available
possible/available..
It is envisaged in Land Record modernisation programme of Government
of India that now onwards all the records will be based on Phase I, II and III
GCPs on WGS
WGS--84 Datum with UTM Projection
Projection.. Using GCPs, control will
be brought to village through GPS and thereafter using Total Station
boundaries of land parcels will be measured/demarcated
