Summary:

The paper presents selected issues on geodetic kinematic models. In previous applications various linear esti-mation procedures are used, they are use to solve a system of equations involving observation issue. The kine-matic model can be formulated itself in various options. The model conception adopted in this work assumes that it does not matter how to perform follow-up, in terms of time or measurement periods. The input data may also be functions of observations, for example, coordinates of the points with the corresponding covariance matrix. Kinematic model if it is to involve civil engineering, should be supplemented by adequate restrictions imposed on the model parameters, ensuring continuity of displacements and deformations. A generalized kinematic model can be used to obtain the parameters of functions describing the movement of individual points or the entire facility, which provide information on the point or vector displacement field.
