1 LSD PQSL Series 2015 Geodetic Survey Prepared by Mr KWOK King-hung 22 May

2 Geodesy Source from Wiki May 2015 also known as geodetics or geodetics engineering a branch of applied mathematics and earth sciences, is the scientific discipline that deals with the measurement and representation of the Earth, including its gravitational field, in a three-dimensional time-varying space. Geodesists also study geodynamical phenomena such as crustal motion, tides, and polar motion. For this they design global and national control networks, using space and terrestrial techniques while relying on datums and coordinate systems. 2

3 Overview 1. Hong Kong Geodetic Datum 2. Map Projection and Grid System 3. Hong Kong Horizontal Control Network 4. Hong Kong SatRef 5. New Development of GNSS 3

4 Geodetic Datum Source from Wiki May is a coordinate system and a set of reference points, used to locate places on the Earth 2. are used in geodesy, navigation and surveying by cartographers and satellite navigation systems to translate positions indicated on maps to their real position on Earth 3. The North Pole, South Pole and Equator may be assumed to be in different positions on different datums 4

5 Geodetic Datum Source from Wiki May Different datums use different estimates for the precise shape and size of the Earth 5. the Earth is an imperfect ellipsoid, localised datums can give a more accurate representation of the area of coverage than WGS the benefits of a global system outweigh the greater accuracy, the global WGS 84 datum is becoming increasingly adopted 5

6 Geodetic Datum 7. Irregular Earth s physical surface / Gravitational field 8. Ellipsoids does not provide a practical / meaningful reference of the 3rd dimension (height) with respective to the physical Earth 9. A separate height reference system related to the Earth surface / gravity is required 6

7 Hong Kong Geodetic Datum 1. Local Datum- Hong Kong 1980 Geodetic Datum (HK80) 2. Global Datum the Word Geodetic System (WGS84) 7

14 Hong Kong Height Datum Hong Kong Principal Datum (HKPD) Formerly known as Ordnance Datum Rifleman s Bolt : a copper bolt fixed in Hong Kong Naval Dockyard in 1866 The level of the Bolt was determined by H.M. Surveying Vessel Rifleman The highest point of the Bolt was taken as (5.435m) above zero level which is now known as HKPD Based on the MSL derived from 19 years ( ) of tidal observations taken at automatic tide guage at North Point and is 1.23m below MSL 14

15 Hong Kong Height Datum Hong Kong Chart Datum (HKCD) Formerly known as Admiralty Datum Approximately the level of Lowest Astronomical Tide and is adopted as the zero point for Tide Tables since 1917 For all depths, heights above mean high water mark and submarine contours on Admiralty Charts and sounding plans HKCD = HKPD 0.146m HKCD is 1.38m below MSL 15

16 Hong Kong Height Datum 16

17 Height Reference Systems Height above HKPD The height of a point above HKPD means the distance measured along the vertical above the reference surface of HKPD. HKPD is implicitly defined by the territory-wide network of bench marks established by the Geodetic Survey Section of LandsD as the elevation of them are all surveyed with reference to HKPD. 17

18 Hong Kong Local Geoid Geoid Height Geoid-ellipsoid separation Varied with gradient 18

19 Hong Kong Local Geoid Geoid Height = m m = 2.826m 19

20 Hybrid/Combined Method - HKPU 3 steps HKGEOID-2000 Form gravimetric model Remove systematic bias of gravimetric model by fitting with GPS/Levelling data using least square transformation linear regression or quadratic regression Refine the transformed gravimetric model using surface interpolation. Signal extraction different methods such as weighted average, least square collocation etc. 20

21 Modernization of Height System to support accurate real-time three-dimensional applications using GNSS Three Stages 1) Readjustment of the Hong Kong Vertical Control Network 2) Collection of GNSS, levelling and gravity data 3) Development of a precise reference geoid model 21

22 Readjustment of HK Vertical Control Network Survey Results 1. A new vertical control network with higher accuracy and consistency- Vertical Control Network Permanent Bedrock Bench Marks were established 22

23 Vertical Control Network

24 Accuracy of Vertical Control Network % of 1092 bench marks with accuracy better than 1 mm were achieved. 98% of height difference between adjoining bench marks with accuracy better than 1 mm were achieved. 24

25 Bedrock Bench Marks (BrBM) In order to maintain the stability and consistency of the vertical control network, 63 Permanent Bedrock Bench Marks were established in the bedrock over the territory. 25

26 8. Bedrock Bench Marks (BrBM) 26

27 Map Projection and Grid System Transverse Mercator Projection a) Considered as a cylinder wrapping the Earth with its axis passes through the plane of equator b) Conformal Projection c) Grid North aligns to the True North at projection meridian Universal Transverse Mercator Projection a) A universal projection by rotating the cylinder around the earth with 6 degrees interval in longitude 27
