Error Propagation of the Hidden-Point Bar Method: Effect of Bar Geometry
نویسندگان
چکیده
The hidden-point bar method is useful in many surveying applications. The method involves determining the coordinates of a hidden point as a function of horizontal and vertical angles measured to three fixed points on the bar. Using these measurements, the procedure involves calculating the slant angles, the distances from the station to the fixed points, the coordinates of the fixed points, and then the coordinates of the hidden point. The propagation of the measurement errors in this complex process has not been fully investigated in the literature. This paper evaluates the effect of the bar geometry on the position accuracy of the hidden point which depends on the measurement errors of the horizontal and vertical angles. The results are used to establish some guidelines regarding the inclination angle of the bar and the location of the observed points that provide the best accuracy. Keywords—Hidden point, accuracy, error propagation, surveying, evaluation, simulation, geometry.

Three Different Methods for Approximate Analysis of Bar Structures
In this paper, modified solutions were compared through utilizing three different approximate methods for bar structures. The modifications considered various changes in the initial design. To authors' best of knowledge, the studies have carried out on this matter so far are not broad enough and have considerred the simeltaneous variations of size, geometry and topology on the bar structures.

متن کاملEstimating river suspended sediment yield using MLP neural network in arid and semi-arid basins Case study: Bar River, Neyshaboor, Iran
Abstract Erosion and sedimentation are the most complicated problems in hydrodynamic which are very important in water-related projects of arid and semi-arid basins. For this reason, the presence of suitable methods for good estimation of suspended sediment load of rivers is very valuable. Solving hydrodynamic equations related to these phenomenons and access to a mathematical-conceptual mode...
متن کاملParameterisation of Point Bars in High- Resolution Seismic Data
We developed a simple method to parameterise fluvial point bars, which are common sedimentary deposits in meandering river environments. The method needs four points defining the point bar and is based on high-resolution seismic data. A model geometry is compared with the real point bar geometry. We optimise the model parameters by minimizing the error in the area covered by both objects. The m...
متن کاملBayesian Estimation of the Multiple Change Points in Gamma Process Using X-bar chart
The process personnel always seek the opportunity to improve the processes. One of the essential steps for process improvement is to quickly recognize the starting time or the change point of a process disturbance. Different from the traditional normally distributed assumption for a process, this study considers a process which follows a gamma process. In addition, we consider the possibility o...
