4.7.8.3 Offset Collection
Figure 4-84
Offset collection is mainly applied for one target point collection on which GPS can not have
coordinate solution. It can collect one or several points in good solution status around target
point to calculate the target point coordinate by the distance and azimuth comparing with
the target point. And use the distances or azimuth from collected points and target point to
confirm the coordinate of target point. Or you can select a collected ground object to be
basic point of the offset collection. Details as follows:
There are four methods:
Ⅰ：“Two points and distans”. Two collected points and distances from collected points to
target point are known. You can use Forward Intersection principle to get the solution of
target point.
Ⅱ： “Two point and angles”. If you know two points and angle between two points to the target point, the
solution can be worked out by Forward Intersection principle.
Ⅲ： “Point and azimuth”. Via one known point, the known distance between it and the target
point and the angle from connection of known point and target point to North Direction, the
solution can be worked out by Forward Intersection principle.
Ⅳ： “End and start points and interval”. Via known the first and the last point, and the
distance between them, you can record a series of points by the distance.
Take I as an example：
58
Figure 4-85
Click “Get first point”, and then return to the main menu:
Figure 4-86
Then click “collect the second point” to do the second point collection.
