Abstract
A new theory and methodology that allows improving the knowledge of geodetic networks uncertainty has been developed.
This new approach provides the uncertainty figures not only in the observed stations and their correlatives but also at any point of the network space. To this end, the variances and covariances, known in several points, will be taken as a reference and, from that information and after the appropriate transformation, the corresponding value of any point in the network will be estimated.
The methodology is completed with the uncertainty modeling by means of a contour map of the expected error in the whole network. Finally, the theory is applied to a real network.
