Abstract

This article has described the development of a computer program for the adjustment of geodetic networks, using the model of mediate observations. The program is the result of a research activity carried out, during the year 2021, within the School of Topography, Cadaster and Geodesy (ETCG), at the National University. The application resulting from the research provides to the ETCG with an open-source tool for the adjustment of geodetic networks, which allows improving the teaching and learning processes in the different courses of the Engineering in Topography and Geodesy career, in addition to facilitating the different research processes that are carried out in the Academic Unit. The development of a geodetic network adjustment program within the ETCG contributes to eliminating the costs associated with the purchase of licenses and strengthening the formulation of final graduation projects.
