Desarrollo de aplicación móvil Android capaz de realizar cálculos topográficos

Abstract

Topography is a science that demands a high level of precision in its works in order to evaluate the quality of the same. The complete development of the topographic works consists of the collection of data in the field, for the later calculation of the same in office. In some occasions the data obtained in the field can present errors that are not evident until the moment in which the corresponding calculations are developed, these errors affect directly the precision of the work carried out and therefore its quality and in most of the cases they force to the repetition of a part or the totality of the work, which represents additional costs to the entity in charge. In order to support the work in the field, Topography Calculator was developed, a mobile application for Android programmed in Unity software using the C# programming language. Topography Calculator is presented to the public as an alternative to existing programs for topographic calculations of planimetry and altimetry, offering a novel quality, it can be executed on cell phones, which is practical, innovative, economical and efficient. Topography Calculator allows users to calculate and adjust closed polygonals by compass, Crandall and least squares methods, as well as adjust open polygonals with controlled closure and calculate compound geometric leveling from the comfort of the mobile device.
