Abstract
Considering the fact that the determination of the Helmert transformation of one point set to another point set is a non-linear problem of adjustment, a geometrical theory for this problem is treated, and as a result of this theory a simple and numerically strong method for the computation of the parameters of the Helmert transformation is presented.
