These refraction effects deteriorate the accuracy of the direction and distance measurements in geodetic applications. As illustrated by two examples in this report, the refraction effects cannot be accurately corrected up to now and, therefore, solutions must be provided which can be implemented into geodetic instruments. The presented approach is based on the determination of the temperature gradient being the decisive influential parameter for angular refraction effects. In the atmosphere, temperature gradients are related to turbulent thermal exchange processes such as the turbulent sensible heat flux. In order to describe atmospheric turbulence, the applied statistical approach uses the method of spectral analysis which states that the atmospheric turbulent velocity field can be thought to consist of many eddies of different densities. This energy spectrum of turbulence can be modelled using the structure constant of refractive index CJ and the inner scale 10 of turbulence. If these two structure parameters are measured, the temperature gradient is derived from dimensionless profile functions using the so-called Monin-Obukhov similarity description. Hereby, the fact should be kept in mind, that the Monin-Obukhov similarity description and the energy spectrum of turbulence are only valid for vertical temperature gradient profiles in the atmospheric boundary layer. This research work investigates the determination of the required structure parameter Cn and lo by means of image sensors which can be built into geodetic instruments. To derive the structure parameters CJ and 10 from the acquired image data, the application of appropriate image processing techniques is examined. The evaluation concept is based on angle-of-arrival fluctuations and intensity fluctuations. Angle-of-arrival fluctuations are perceived as high-frequency motions of image patterns grabbed by the sensor, and intensity fluctuations are related to the temporal variation of the gray values of the pixels. As presented in this report, these two effects of optical turbulence can be used to determine the structure parameter Cn and lo. For this purpose, image processing techniques must parameterize both angle-of-arrival fluctuations and intensity fluctuations. Within this research work, the angle-of-arrival fluctuations are modelled by the variance óx characterizing the shifting of image patterns which are located using edge detection algorithms. The intensity fluctuations are modelled by the variance óx characterizing the temporal intensity spectrum of the incoming light beam. In the scope of this research work, the variance óx is provided using digital filter techniques such as the Wiener filter or least-squares template matching. In order to validate this concept, the video theodolite Leica TM3000V and a digital line scan camera Basler L120 are used as two different imaging systems to acquire image data during various practical field experiments. These field experiments revealed a partial good agreement between the structure parameter CJ and lo obtained by the image sensors and the ones obtained by a reference system (scintillometer). Basically, the method presented here is appropriate to reduce the refraction influence. A decisive advantage of this method is based on the fact that additional sensors are not necessary (except for the image sensors which are built into the instrument). However, as the exemplary comparison of temperature gradients shows at the end of the report, further research work in the scope of the atmospheric boundary layer is still necessary.
