3.2 Gross absolute terms

One of parameters in XML input of program gama-local is tolerance tol-abs for detecting of gross absolute terms in project equations. Observations with outlying absolute terms are always excluded from adjustment.

For measured distances program tests difference between observed value d_i and distance computed from approximate coordinates d_0

              |d_i - d_0| > tol-abs,

for observed directions program gama-local tests transverse deviation corresponding to absolute term b_i from project equations (1)

              | b_i | d_0 > tol-abs

and similarly for angles, program tests the greater of two deviations corresponding to left and right distances (left and right arm of the angle)

              |b_i| max{ d_{0_l}, d_{0_r} }  > tol-abs.

Default value of parameter tol-abs is 1000 mm.
