Overview of Surveying

Definition of Surveying
1
Surveying is the science or art of making such
measurements as are necessary to determine the
relative position of points above, on, or beneath the
surface of the earth, or to establish such points.
(Breed, Hosmer, and Bone) (Breed, Hosmer, and Bone)
2
Surveying is the art of measuring horizontal
and vertical distances between objects, of measuring
angles between lines, of determining the direction of
lines, and of establishing points by predetermined
angular and linear measurements. (Davis, Foote,
Anderson, and Mikhail)

Definition of Remote Sensing
It is the measurement or acquisition of some
property of an object or phenomenon, by a
recording device that is not in physical contact recording device that is not in physical contact
with the object or phenomenon under study
(formal definition of the ASPRS).
Remote sensing is both an art and a science.

Overview of GIS
22
Defining Geographic Information Systems (GIS)
In simple terms, GIS is a set of computer-based
systems for managing geographic data and using
these data to solve real-world spatial problems. these data to solve real-world spatial problems.

Anatomy of GIS
The anatomy of GIS refers to the
various components that make up
the system. GIS is generally thought
to be comprised of the following

to be comprised of the following
components: hardware, software,
data, people and organizations, and
methods and institutional
arrangements for collecting, storing,
analyzing and disseminating
information about areas of the earth.

GIS stores information as a collection of thematic layers
(left image).
By a processing called geocoding, the location of a
particular thematic feature may be recorded (right image).

GPS Facts
The Global Positioning System, better known as GPS, is a
satellite-based radio navigation system developed and
operated by the U.S. Department of Defense.
GPS permits land, sea, and airborne users to determine GPS permits land, sea, and airborne users to determine
their three dimensional position, velocity, and time, 24
hours a day in all weather, anywhere in the world.
GPS provides specially coded satellite signals that can be
processed by a GPS receiver, which can compute position,
velocity, and time.
Four GPS satellite signals are used to compute 4
dimensions of X, Y, Z (position), and time.

Cartography
science and art of making
maps and charts
word "cartography" is derived
42
word "cartography" is derived
from the Greek words chartes
(sheet of papyrus) and graphy
(writing).

Geomatics Engineering
It is the discipline of gathering, storing, processing,
and delivering of geographic information, or
spatially referenced information
It includes the tools and techniques used in land It includes the tools and techniques used in land
surveying, remote sensing, Geographic
Information Systems (GIS), Global Navigation
Satellite Systems (GPS, GLONASS, GALILEO,
COMPASS), and related forms of earth mapping
