Workshop Outline
  • Introduction
  • Step 1: Creating a Project
  • Step 2: Uploading Data To Your Project
  • Step 3: Session Processing
  • Step 4: Network Adjustment
  • Open Discussion
  • One-on-one
What Is OPUS-Projects?
  • Web-based access to process multiple marks and multiple occupations
  • Data uploading through OPUS
  • Data processing using the PAGES software
  • Visualization and management aids
  • Least squares adjustment
Do We Really Need Another OPUS Flavor?
  • Yes. The NGS and other groups have a history of projects with specifications that can’t be entirely supported by OPUS.
  • Yes, again. As well as OPUS does, sacrificing simplicity for flexibility can improve results in many cases.
What’s In This Workshop?
  • By attending this workshop, you should have enough information to successfully use OPUS-Projects for your own projects. Once the training is completed, you’ll be given an opportunity to register your email address thereby authorizing you to create and process new OPUS-Projects.
  • A project containing a training data set will be assigned to you. You’ll have an opportunity to work along with the presentations. In addition, time is allotted for you to explore your project individually.
