An Algorithm for Backward Intersection Calculation and its Trial Application to the Surveying of Landscape Architectural Works Done

Abstract

The aim of this study is to develope a surveying method that can be effectively used at the sites of landscaping work which generally involves by far the many more kinds and stages of work as compared to ordinary civil engineering works. It particularly attempts to search for an algorithm capable of determining, without involving the setting of a surveying instrument and distance measuring, the coordinates of any point where a transit is placed. This paper reports the cases in which the algorithm derived from the study has been applied on an experimental basis to the surveying of works done.
