In Korea, orthometric height is adopted as standard height. However normal orthometric height based on normal gravity is used because the gravity survey is not completed on the whole country. To solve this height system difference, we need to calculate orthometric correction, which is the difference between leveling height as geometric height and orthometric height as physical height. Thus, gravity surveying combined with leveling furnishes orthometric height.
In this study, used the relative gravimeter from mountainous area which is calculated orthometric correction relatively greater than flat area, gravity was surveyed. Existing six formulas are used to calculate the orthometric correction for one network and proposed the optimum calculation of orthometric correction. Based on the result of optimum calculation is computed about orthometric height.
Among the existing formulas, Nassar's formula and Hwang's formula are made a optimum estimation.
Therefore Korean geography consists mainly of mountainous area, computation of orthometric height is required by using orthometric correction. Recently utilizability about location information increased in actual life, this study has contributed that accurate geodetic standard can be made.
