Optimization and Design of Geodetic Networks in Consideration of Accuracy and Reliability

Starting from both of accuracy and reliability criterion matrices,a new method of optimiyation and design of geodetic networks has been derived in this paper.Using this method,we can realize not only the second order design in considerration of accuracy and reliability,but also the first order design based on two criterion matrices.In addition,because this method combines first order and second order design together,if helps us to find a new way for the combined design of geodetic networks.
