9. Combination of Solutions<br />

Both reference frames are related to each other by the 7-parameter transformation:<br />

⎛<br />

⎞<br />

⎟<br />

⎠ = (1 + µ)<br />

The 7-parameter transformation may be written in this linearized form, because only small<br />

rotations α,β,γ are considered. The idea of minimum constraint conditions is based on the<br />

requirement that some of these seven parameters (computed using the Helmert method) are<br />

set equal to zero. Setting the translations to zero results in a no-net-translation condition<br />

imposed to the estimated coordinates with respect to the a priori reference frame, setting<br />

the rotations to zero results in a no-net-rotation constraint. The former is usually used for<br />

the datum definition in regional networks, the later for global networks.<br />

Eqn. (9.31) may be rewritten as<br />

⎛<br />

⎜<br />

⎝<br />

X i<br />

Y i<br />

Z i<br />

⎞<br />

or, in vector notation:<br />

0 0 1 −Yi Xi 0 Zi<br />

Let us introduce the vectors ˜ X,X, and the matrix B by<br />

˜X =<br />

⎠ .<br />

If we want to compute the parameters, we can use the following “observation equation”:<br />

which results in the following system of normal equations:<br />

v = B ξ − ( ˜ X − X) , (9.34)<br />

B ⊤ B ξ = B ⊤ ( ˜ X − X) . (9.35)<br />

In our case the expression ˜ X − X is the difference between the estimated and the a priori<br />

value:<br />

˜X − X = p . (9.36)<br />

The parameters of the 7-parameter transformation are given by<br />

ξ = (B ⊤ B) −1 B ⊤ p . (9.37)<br />
