Reflectorless measurements assessment of the suitability and accuracy of the measurements

Measurement technics in geodesy have strongly intensified their development towards the remote methods of acquiring information in recent years. This trend can be observed for example with reflectorless measurement of distance, the method which is accessible in more and more of new tachymeters. Manufacturers compete with solutions that are able to provide larger range of measurement, while at the same time the accuracy of it is still adequate enough for majority of geodetic jobs. Unfortunately, the parameters that describe the reflectorless measurement published in the specification of the instruments refer to measurements, which were made in the strictly defined conditions, with the use of specific background materials, accessibility of which is hardly to repeat in the real, everyday work in the field.
