To determine the elevation of a detail point, a total station was set up on a traverse station known to have an orthometric height of 9.456 m. Then, a reflector with a rod with a height of 1.45 m was placed at the detail point, and the total station was aimed at this reflector, and a vertical angle of 949.1258 and a horizontal distance of 59.168 m were observed. Please calculate the orthometric height of the detail point, considering that the height of the total station set up at the traverse station is 1.54 m from the ground

Photogrammetry

Photogrammetry is a technology of taking measurements of physical objects present in the environment, using photographs. It includes the process of recording and analyzing a three-dimension image in the two-dimension form. Photogrammetry was invented around 150 years ago in 1851 by Aimé Laussedat, he was also known as the father of photogrammetry, but this method was not in use until 50 years after its invention. This method was first used in Germany by Dr. Albrecht Meydenbauer in 1893 who was the director of the Royal Prussian Photogrammetric institute founded by him.

Question

To determine the elevation of a detail point, a total station was set up on a traverse station known to have
an orthometric height of 9.456 m. Then, a reflector with a rod with a height of 1.45 m was placed at the detail
point, and the total station was aimed at this reflector, and a vertical angle of 949. 1258 and a horizontal distance
of 59.168 m were observed. Please calculate the orthometric height of the detail point, considering that the
height of the total station set up at the traverse station is 1.54 m from the ground
