STAR*NET, a product of MicroSurvey, is a specialized graphical program for least squares computation.
The least squares method is a regression analysis method for solving a system of equations where the number of equations is greater than the number of unknowns.
The most important application of the least squares method is curve fitting to data. The least squares method is available in the R programming language, most statistical and mathematical programs (such as Excel, SPSS, MATLAB, etc.), and in engineering calculators.
The practical application of this software is in the computation of multiple and complex survey stations, which, when integrated into the workflow, significantly improves project progress speed.
Civil engineers, surveyors, and all those involved in research methods well understand how important this program is.
MicroSurvey STAR*NET is an engineering program for creating two-dimensional and three-dimensional survey networks using an accurate least squares method.
MicroSurvey STAR*NET manages conditional monitoring networks using GPS vectors with 10,000 adjustable stations.
Differential level feedback can also be included in three-dimensional adjustments. Whether surveying a single-loop route or a complex network of interconnected paths, all observations are adjusted simultaneously to achieve the optimal solution.
MicroSurvey STAR*NET can reduce observations to NAD27, NAD83, or UTM using separately calculated network factors for all distances and computed t-T corrections for all angles.
