1. A system for measuring and evaluating the accuracy of geodetic measurements comprising:

  • a field survey measuring device; and

    a plurality of software modules programmed into a computer, the computer having a CPU, a memory, and I/O hardware, the plurality of modules being configured to;

    store and update a regulation rules database containing a plurality of regulation rules for determining validity of geodetic measurements;

    select at least one data point type to be evaluated;

    select at least one regulation rule from said plurality of regulation rules;

    select at least one regulation calculation method from said regulation rules database;

    receive input measured data points from said field survey measuring device corresponding to said at least one data point type;

    obtain, from a data source, reference data indicative of a plurality of established reference data points;

    co-process the input measured data points and the reference data points according to said at least one data point-type, said at least one regulation rule and said at least one regulation calculation method to determine an indication of validity for the accuracy of the measured data points in real time, said at least one regulation rule comprising an evaluation indicator indicating when said at least one regulation calculation method is to be applied to said input measured data points, said co-process comprising;

    evaluating said input measured data points based on said at least one regulation calculation method; and

    evaluating said input measured data points and said reference data points based on said at least one regulation rule; and

    generate a report indicating the validity of the measured data points in real time,said plurality of modules further including a method definition module adapted to define at least one regulation method to operate upon a selected data point type, the at least one regulation method including;

    at least one rule for the co-processing;

    a specification of a textual regulation descriptor; and

    coordinate operating functions including;

    a calculation method to adjust data point coordinate values to allow closure of the data points; and

    a transformation method to transform an internal coordinate network associated with the input data to another coordinate network associated with at least one reference point.
