Explore statistical quality control for geodetic and surveying networks, including hypothesis testing, reliability, precision and least-squares analysis.
Network quality control introduces the statistical theory behind quality control in geodetic and surveying networks. Written by Peter J.G. Teunissen and published by TU Delft OPEN publishing under CC BY 4.0 in 2024, the book covers testing, reliability, and precision analysis using least-squares methods. It is written for geodesy and geomatics students and turns abstract statistics into practical tools for trustworthy measurements.
The book begins by explaining why quality control matters and how measurement networks can be tested for trustworthiness.
Readers review the least-squares framework that underpins precision analysis and network adjustment.
The text introduces statistical testing procedures and reliability concepts used to detect and handle errors in measurements.
Precision analysis is presented as a practical way to evaluate the quality of geodetic and surveying networks.
The final sections connect the theory to practical measurement problems in geodesy and geomatics.
Network quality control is a compact, practical textbook for understanding how to assess and ensure the quality of measurement networks. The PDF is freely available from TU Delft OPEN publishing under CC BY 4.0.
