This document discusses different types of levels used in surveying and engineering projects. It describes dumpy levels, tilting levels, automatic levels, and digital levels. Dumpy levels have a rigidly fixed telescope but are simple and stable. Tilting levels allow the telescope to be tilted for precise work. Automatic levels have a compensator to keep the line of sight horizontal. Digital levels determine heights and distances digitally with high accuracy up to 100 meters. Leveling is important for engineering projects to determine relative elevations of points.
Surveying is used at various stages of a construction project from conceptual planning to maintenance. It involves measuring positions and elevations to determine spatial relationships and assist with engineering design. Common surveying methods include chain surveying, compass surveying, theodolite surveying, and leveling. A theodolite is an instrument used to measure horizontal and vertical angles which is useful for tasks like setting out lines, distance measurement, and alignment control.

Surveying is used throughout a construction project from planning to maintenance. There are different types of surveying depending on the stage including feasibility, construction, and post-construction surveys. Surveying involves determining positions on the earth through direct or indirect measurements of distance, direction, and elevation. Levelling specifically measures elevations with respect to a datum. Accuracy refers to how close measurements are to true values while precision refers to how consistent repeated measurements are.

The document discusses the height of collimation method for leveling. It explains that a level is used to determine elevation differences between points by establishing a horizontal line of sight. A rod reading is taken on a point of known elevation to calculate the height of instrument. Then, rod readings of other points are subtracted from the height of instrument to determine their elevations. It also defines various leveling terms like backsight, foresight, benchmarks, and describes the leveling process.

Paper Title
Particle Swarm Optimization–Long Short-Term Memory based Channel Estimation with Hybrid Beam Forming Power Transfer in WSN-IoT Applications
Authors
Reginald Jude Sixtus J and Tamilarasi Muthu, Puducherry Technological University, India
Abstract
Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA) helps to overcome various difficulties in future technology wireless communications. NOMA, when utilized with millimeter wave multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems, channel estimation becomes extremely difficult. For reaping the benefits of the NOMA and mm-Wave combination, effective channel estimation is required. In this paper, we propose an enhanced particle swarm optimization based long short-term memory estimator network (PSOLSTMEstNet), which is a neural network model that can be employed to forecast the bandwidth required in the mm-Wave MIMO network. The prime advantage of the LSTM is that it has the capability of dynamically adapting to the functioning pattern of fluctuating channel state. The LSTM stage with adaptive coding and modulation enhances the BER.PSO algorithm is employed to optimize input weights of LSTM network. The modified algorithm splits the power by channel condition of every single user. Participants will be first sorted into distinct groups depending upon respective channel conditions, using a hybrid beamforming approach. The network characteristics are fine-estimated using PSO-LSTMEstNet after a rough approximation of channels parameters derived from the received data.

Surveying - Module iii-levelling only note
1. OPTC Edavanna Page 1
MODULE III : Levelling
1. Define levelling?
It is a branch of surveying the object
(i) To find the elevations of points
(ii) To establish points based on assumed datum
or is defined as art/science of determining relative heights of different points on,
above, or below earth surface.
2. Define the following terms used in levelling:
(i) Datum (ii) Mean sea level (iii) Bench mark
(iv) Level surface (v) Level line
Datum: It is any surface to which elevations (heights) are referred. or the imaginary
surface with reference to which vertical distances of points (on, above, or below) are
measured. eg: MSL
Mean Sea Level (MSL): It is the datum adopted by GTS department of India
Bench mark:It is fixed reference point of known elevation w.r.t any datum
Level Surface: It is a curved surface which at each point is perpendicular to the
direction of gravity at that point.
It is perpendicular to the plumb line
It is parallel to the earth surface
Level line:
It is a line lying on level surface
It is perpendicular to the plumb line (direction of gravity)

REVISION PACKAGE
Surveying - I ( Revision 2015)
2. OPTC Edavanna Page 2
LEVEL: Instrument used to furnish horizontal line of sight for observing staff
readings and determining reduced levels
1. Dumpy level:
Simple, compact and stable instrument
Telescope rigidly fixed to its supports
It cannot be rotated about horizontal axis
2. Wye (Y) level: Telescope is carried by two vertical wye supports
3. Tilting level: Telescope tilt about its horizontal axis. It is also called as IOP
(Indian Office Pattern) level
4. Automatic level: Telescope tilt about its horizontal axis
It is also called as IOP (Indian Office Pattern) level
LEVELLING STAFF:
Levelling staffs are scales on which the distances are measured
Straight rectangular rod having graduations
Bottom of levelling staff represents zero reading
The smallest division of a levelling staff is 5 mm
A. Self-reading staff: A staff on which readings are directly read by the observer
through the telescope. They are three types
1. Solid staff
2. Folding staff
3. Telescopic staff
1. Solid staff:
Made of well-seasoned wood
3 m length
Greater accuracy in reading, so used in precise levelling
No Hinge joints
Difficult to carry to field
2. Folding staff
Also called as Hinged staff
Hinge joints present
Less accuracy
4 m length
Can be folded into 2 m length
3. OPTC Edavanna Page 3
Thickness of graduations = 5 mm
3. Telescopic staff
Three lengths placed one into the other
Extended to full length by pulling
Smallest division is 5 mm
4 m length
Values in meter (Red - left side) and decimeter (Black - right side) are
marked on it.
B. Target Staff:
A staff which contains a target is called target staff
For taking readings, the level man directs the staff
man to raise or lower the target till it is bisected
by line of sight.
The staff man clamps the target and takes reading.
4. What are the advantage sof dumpy level over wye level?
Simpler construction with few movable parts
Fewer adjustments to be made
Longer life of the adjustments
5. What are the merits and demerits of self-reading staff?
Merits:
Easier and Quicker to read a self-reading staff
The reading on a self-reading staff are taken by the leveler himself
For holding the staff, no experience required, no knowledge required
Demerits:
Accuracy is less than that of target staff.
The leveler have all responsibilities in taking reading
6. What are the merits and demerits of target staff?
Merits:
The reading with target staff can be taken with greater fineness (more
accurate)
The leveller and staff man have the responsibility in taking the reading
Vernier is provided on target staff for accurate reading
Demerits:
It is difficult to adjust the target, so that the line of sight bisects the target
The staff man is responsible in marking the reading
So, for holding the staff, an experienced staff man is required
4. OPTC Edavanna Page 4
7. What is mean by curvature and refraction correction?
For long sights and accurate levelling work, the effects of the line of sight shall have
to be taken into consideration. Due to curvature of earth, the points appear to be
lower than they actually are. While due to refraction, they appear to be higher than
they actually are. The effects of curvature being greater than that of refraction, the
combined effect causes the points to appear to be lower than they actually are.
Curvature correction:
PC = apparent staff reading
PB = True staff reading
BC = correction for curvature
R = Radius of earth = 6370 km
Error due to curvature of earth
is considered when the disyance
is large
The line of sight is horizontal, but the level line is curved and parallel to the
earth surface
The vertical distance b/w the line of sight and level line at a particular point is
called curvature correction
Effect of curvature is to cause the object sighted to appear lower than they
actually are
curvature correction is always negative

Refraction correction:
Ray of light passes through air layers of different densities. They donot
remain straight, but are refracted and bend downward towards denser medium.
Refraction correction is assumed as 1/7 times the curvature correction.
Curvature correction, CC = (subtractive) = 0.0784 d2
Cr = = 0.01121d2
5. OPTC Edavanna Page 5
Combined correction:
Combined correction = Curvature correction (-ve) + Refraction correction
Cr = + = (subtractive) = 0.06728d2
Combined correction is subtractive

9. Explain errors in levelling?
The errors in levelling are mainly 3 types,
(i) Instrumental error
(ii) Personal error
(iii)Natural error
Instrumental error Personal error Natural error
Error due to imperfect
adjustment
Mistakes in manipulation Earth’s curvature

20.What are the temporary adjustments in levelling?
21.What are the points should be observed while conducting levelling work?
Adjustments done at every setting of levelling instrument are called temperory
adjustments. They are
(i) Setting out: Fixing the instrument on tripod and levelling it approx by tripod
(ii) Levelling up: Accurate levelling using foot screws and to make the vertical axis
truly vertical. It is done as below,
Loose the clamp and turn the instrument such that telescope is
parallel to two of the foot screws. Turn level screws and level it.
Turn the telescope 900
so that telescope is parallel to the third
screw. Turn the level screw until the bubble comes in the center of
level tube.
(iii) Elimination of parallax: Parallax is a condition arising when the image formed
by the objective is not in the plane of cross hairs. It is eliminated by focusing
the objective and eyepiece.
22.What is balancing of sights? What is its importance in the field?
10. OPTC Edavanna Page 10
In the above fig, let the observations be made with a level in which the line of
collimation is inclined upward by an amount ‘ ’ from horizontal. When the bubble is
in the centre of its run, the level being kept exactly mid-way b/w the two points A &
B. The observed back sight and fore sight are x1 and x2. The correct BS on A will be
equal to x1 – y1, where y1 = D1tan . The correct fore sight on B will be equal to
x2 – y2, where y2 = D2tan . Hence the correct difference b/w A & B is
= (x1 – y1) – (x2 – y2)
= (x1 – y1 ) + (y2 – y1)
= (x1 – x2) + ( D2tan - D1tan )
= (x1 – x2), if D1 =D2
Errors eliminated by balancing:
The error due to non-parallelism of line of collimation and axis of bubble tube
The error due to curvature and refraction may be eliminated if the length of two
sights can be made equal.
23.Distinguish between two methods of booking and reducing the elevation of
points from the observed staff readings.
24.Describe the HI method and rise and fall method of computing the levels.
Discuss the merits and demerits of each.
25.What are the two systems of reduction of levels? Explain.
The observed staff readings as noted in a level book are further required to be
manipulated to find out the elevation of points. The operation is known as reduction
of level. There are two methods for reduction of levels:
• HI = BM + BS
• RL of A = HI - FS (or IS)

26.Draw a neat diagram of component parts of a levelling instrument? Describe
the function of its salient parts?
Telescope : Used to sight and read staff readings
Diaphragm : Holds the cross hairs (fitted with telescope)
Focussing screws : Separate focussing screws for eye piece and objective.
Eye piece : Magnifies the image formed in the plane of the diaphragm and thus to
read staff during leveling.
Level Tube : Used to make the axis of the telescope horizontal and thus the
line of sight.
Levelling screws : To adjust instrument (level) so that the line of sight is horizontal
for any orientation of the telescope.
Tripod stand : To fix the instrument (level) at a convenient height of an observer.
