    Tacheometry is a surveying technique that uses optical instruments to measure horizontal distances and elevation changes based on the instrument's geometry. The stadia method uses a telescope with horizontal hairs and a graduated stadia rod to rapidly obtain contour and mapping details. It works on the principle of similar triangles, where corresponding sides are proportional, allowing horizontal distances and elevations to be calculated from the instrument's readings.

    TACHEOMETRY

    TACHEOMETRY
    a procedure of obtaining horizontal
    distances and differences in elevation based
    on the optical geometry of the instrument
    employed.
    STADIA METHOD
    The equipment for stadia measurements consists of a
    telescope with two horizontal hairs called stadia hair and a
    graduated rod called a stadia rod. The stadia method is
    especially well adapted to mapping requirements and is
    widely used for locating details and contour points in
    topographic surveys. It is far more rapid than taping, and
    under certain conditions could be made as precise. This
    method also requires the employment of fewer survey
    personnel.
    PRINCIPLE OF STADIA. The stadia method is based on
    the principle that in similar triangles corresponding sides
    are proportional.
