Getting ready to use OPUS
OPUS is a great tool for grounding your survey. But OPUS is
part of a larger toolset. Before you begin a project take a
moment to think about the ‘Big Picture’:
A.
What are your GOALS?
a.
Required accuracy
b.
Horizontal and Vertical Datum; Geoid model
choice
c.
Survey style: OPUS-Static, OPUS-Rapid Static,
OPUS-Projects
d.
Consider FGDC Standards:
http://www.fgdc.gov/standards/projects/FGDC-standards-
projects/accuracy
B.
Are there passive marks available for control?
a.
Will CORS, passive or a combination control
the survey?
b.
Are local passive marks recoverable,
undisturbed, sufficient quality, stable and GPS
friendly?
c.
Where are the nearby NGS CORS stations?
This will determine ‘Rapid Static’ or ‘Static’
availability.
C.
OPUS-Rapid Static Requirements
a.
Find the closest 9 CORS sites with available
observations
b.
A minimum of 3 CORS stations within 250 KM
are required.
c.
Your site must be within 50 km of a polygon
created by the remaining available CORS.
d.
If the eligible CORS count is low, check the
past reliability of recent observations to
insure that there is a high probability of
sufficient sites for OPUS-RS to compute a
solution.
