In the field of surveying, surveying techniques and instruments are advancing with the support of ever evolving technology. Establishing a geodetic network is one of the areas witnessing big changes from this respect. Although measurements have become easier to perform, an optimum use of time and resources is still very important. Therefore, determining observation plan, weights, surveying and computation techniques which best serve the need carry a great importance in setting up a geodetic network. The work involved is known as the Optimization of Geodetic Networks and its parameters could be estimated during the design of the network. Specifially, in optimization the networks where observation plan is partially known beforehand and postulated objective function is not well provided, the sequential adjustment method in which contributions of added or deleted observations are directly computed can be used.
