THEODOLITE INTERSECTION
Intersection is the method of locating a point by sighting from two
or more known control points.
This method is suitable for the case where there is difficult to
occupy the point to be located.

THEODOLITE INTERSECTION
Let point P is to be located by sighting from known points A and B.
The bearings of the lines AP and BP are computed first by observing
 PAB and  PBA
Then, we compute the bearings of the line AB with the known
coordinates of the points A and B

THEODOLITE INTERSECTION
Let coordinates of A and B are (EA, NA)
and (EB , NB) respectively and that of P be
(EP , NP), then,
EP – EA = PL
NP – NA = AL
Also, From figure,
PL/AL = Tan

Therefore,
(1) EP – EA = (NP – NA) Tan

Similarly,
(2) EP – EB = (NP – NB) Tan

THEODOLITE INTERSECTION
Subtracting (2) from (1) we get,
EB – EA = NP(Tan - Tan)+ NB Tan - NATan
EB – EA + NATan − NB Tan
Or, NP = (3)
(Tan − Tan)
Again, Rewriting equations (1) and (2),
NP –NA = (EP – EA) Cot (4)
NP –NB = (EP – EB) Cot (5)

THEODOLITE INTERSECTION
Subtracting (5) from (4)
NB –NA = EP (Cot - Cot)+ EB Cot - EA Cot
NB –NA + EA Cot − EB Cot )
Or, EP = (6)
(Cot − Cot)
Using the equations (3) and (6) the values of EP and NP are computed
EB – EA + NATan − NB Tan
NP = (3)
(Tan − Tan)
NB –NA + EA Cot − EB Cot )
EP = (6)
(Cot − Cot)

EXERCISE
Find the coordinates of a point P, which was observed from two
known points A and B whose coordinates are as follows:

Station Easting Northing


A 1000 m 1000 m
B 500 m 1200 m

The bearings of the lines AP and BP are 65014’21” and 350 12’40”
respectively

THEODOLITE RESECTION
Method of fixing the position of an unknown station by sighting to
three known stations.
Suppose if a point P is to be located by with the help of the known
stations A, B and C, then the station P is occupied and angles to the
rays PA, PB and PC are measured.
As only P is occupied, this technique is considered to provide a
weaker solution than intersection.
However, it is an extremely useful technique for quickly fixing the
position where it is required.

THEODOLITE RESECTION
Since coordinates of A, B and C are known the
angle ABC () can be computed as .
= WCB of BA – WCB of BC
 Let  BAP = , then,
 BCP = (360 -  -  - ) =S-
