The 11th FIG Symposium on Deformation Measurement was held in Santorini,
Greece May 25-28, 2003. This symposium organised by FIG Commission 6
(surveying Engineering) working group on Deformation Measurement has the
longest tradition in FIG as a Commission organised event on a certain
topic. This time this symposium attracted more than 130 participants from
29 countries – major national groups represented were Polish, Italian and,
of course, Greek. Participation of more than 15 delegates, among them
students and scientists from less developed countries became possible
through grants from the sponsors of the symposium.
Report from the
meeting.Proceedings are now available at:

Adam Chrzanowski, Xiaoli Ding, Gethin Roberts
and Cecilia Whitaker have prepared a document on the activities
of FIG Working Group 6.1 on Deformation Measurements which dates back to
1975 when the first FIG international symposium on deformation
measurements was held in Krakow, Poland. The main goals of WG 6.1 are:
dissemination of knowledge on new developments in deformation monitoring
and analysis and stimulation of international co-operation in solving
specific (ad hoc) problems related to deformation measurements. The
dissemination of knowledge is achieved by organising international
symposia and technical sessions at FIG Congresses related to deformation
measurements. Since 1975, WG6.1 has organised eleven international
symposia in Poland, Germany, Hungary, Canada, Hong Kong, USA, and
Greece.

The 2nd International Conference on Engineering Surveying – INGEO
2002
The 2nd International Conference of Engineering Surveying INGEO 2002
was held in November 11–13, 2002 in the Congress Centrum of Slovak
Savings Bank in Bratislava. The conference was organised by the
Department of Surveying (DS) of the Faculty of Civil Engineering (FCE)
of the Slovak University of Technology (SUT) in Bratislava under the
auspices of the Dean of the FCE SUT Bratislava, Prof. Dušan Petráš,
PhD.
The co-operation bodies of the conference were:
- FIG Commission 6 WG 6.2 – Engineering Surveys for Industry and
Research
- Chamber of Surveyors and Cartographers
- Slovak Union of Surveyors.
Specialists from the 9 various countries in the world, who work at
universities, research centres, in geodetic and building organizations
as well as in industry, have participated in proceedings. Total number
of participants was 76, out of which 36 participants were from foreign
countries and 40 participants from Slovak Republic.
Proceedings of the 2nd International Conference of Engineering
Surveying was aimed at a discussion about actual problems of engineering
surveying, about conclusion of knowledge and results, which were
acquired by the using of new modern technologies.
The individual sessions of proceedings were following:
- Session 1: Model Building and Data Processing
- Session 2: Deformation Measurement
- Session 3: Photogrammetry Applications
- Session 4: Sensors and Laser Equipments
Twenty-nine papers were presented during the conference. Papers were
top up with the various contributions during discussion by many
participants. The conference languages were English, Slovak and Czech.
Discussion was ensured with the simultaneous translation. A proceeding
from this conference was issued in English language in Edition of SUT
Bratislava. There was also published a CD ROM where you can find the
complete proceeding and also some more information about the Department
of Surveying, which organised this conference. Content of the CD ROM and
so the complete Proceedings of the 2nd International Conference of
Engineering Surveying you can find on
http://www.svf.stuba.sk/kat/GDE/INGEO2002/Start.html.
Program of the conference was completed by an exhibition of measuring
and computer techniques and software products developed for engineering
surveying activities, monitoring of building structures and automated
measuring systems. Main motive of the exhibition was emphasized by the
participation of the laser terrestrial scanners (LTS) from Geotech
Company Bratislava with the cooperation of Gefos Company Prague and
Riegl Horn Company Austria. LTS was possible to see for the first time
in Slovakia. LTS Cyrax (Leica) and LMS-Z360 (Riegl) belong to the best
one in the world.
Organizing Committee prepared two daylong excursions:
- Excursion to the Faculty of Civil Engineering of the Slovak
University of Technology in Bratislava,
- Excursion to the Gabčíkovo Hydro Electric Power Station (HEPS).
Participants of the excursion to the FCE SUT Bratislava were welcomed
by prof. Dušan Petráš, PhD. – Dean of the Faculty, who described a
historical development of FCE SUT Bratislava, its nowadays structure and
actual problems. During the visiting of the departments, which ensure
education of students in Geodesy and Cartography, the participants were
familiar with a structure of the student programs, research and
expertise activity of the each department.
The aim of the excursion to the Gabčíkovo HEPS was to present,
especially to the foreign participants, a complex of the hydro-technique
structures with the emphasis to the engineering-geodetic works realized
in the past and also during present days. The participants’ interest was
aimed at the automated measured systems realizing monitoring of the
selected structures of the Gabčíkovo HEPS. One part of the excursion was
also the presentation of activities of the Department of Surveying of
FCE SUT Bratislava on the Gabčíkovo HEPS. The participants of this
excursion were allowed to look over some students’ works, which present
the results from every year practical exercises (Engineering Surveying
Campus) of the 5th class students in Gabčíkovo HEPS.
Chairmen of the individual sessions defined conclusions and
recommendations of the international conference INGEO 2002:
- in the area of the Model Building and Data Processing there will
be often more used a Theory of the Robust Estimations,
- new processes of the refraction coefficient determination
presented on the conference can evoke a development of the instruments
with the automated correction of the refraction in a measurement
process,
- CCD sensors and the technologies working on a CCD base became a
main technologies also in engineering surveying, in the future it is
expecting the strong influence of these technologies on the
measurement systems development,
- the most productive technology for data acquisition in surveying
will be LTS together with aerial scanners, their exploitation enable
to create a spatial (3D) information systems (including 3D Cadastre),
- exploitation of the roboting measurement stations (RMS) in an area
of cinematic applications (e.g. dynamic loading of the construction)
needs to determine the new characteristics for RMS, this is possible
to determine e.g. with help of the dynamic tests presented on the
conference.
