CORS (Continuously Operating Reference Stations) and geoid models play crucial roles in modern land surveying, providing high-precision positioning and elevation data. CORS networks offer real-time and post-processed GNSS observations for accurate surveying, while geoid models allow conversion between ellipsoidal and orthometric heights, ensuring accurate land surveying and mapping.
