Scientific paper

This document describes the effort of the University of Maryland to develop a Charge Coupled Device (CCD) Camera System, with the necessary support hardware and analysis software, to act as an impersonal electronic eyepiece on the T-4 theodolite for astronomical longitude and latitude determinations. This report will describe the concept, the implementation, and the current status of this project. Analysis of the field test data shows that the developed system has a performance level significantly higher than the original design goals, as well as being far above the best human skill level. The system is now being operated by personnel of the Geodetic Survey Squadron. The results of the overall operation will be addressed with respect to the current performance and future potential of this system.
