SURVEYING
• Surveying is the process of determining the relative position of natural
and man- made features on or under the earth's surface, the presentation
of this information either graphically in the form of plans or numerically in
the form of tables, and the setting out of measurements on the earth's
surface.
MODERN TECHNOLOGIES USE IN

Global positioning system
Geographic information system
Remote sensing
Laser scanning
Drones

GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM :-
• Remote sensing technology is a technique used in surveying that involves the collection and
analysis of data from a distance without physically contacting the object or area being studied.
This is typically done using sensors, such as cameras, radar, or lidar, that are mounted on aircraft,
satellites, or drones.
• Remote sensing technology is particularly useful for surveying large areas and inaccessible or
dangerous locations. It can provide detailed information about the shape, size, and characteristics
of the land, water bodies, vegetation, and buildings. The data collected can then be used to create
maps, models, and other visualizations that can aid in decision-making processes related to urban
planning, environmental monitoring, natural resource management, and disaster response.
LASER SCANNING :-
• Laser scanning, also known as LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) scanning or 3D laser scanning,
is a surveying method that uses laser beams to capture millions of precise points on an object or
surface. These points are then used to create a highly accurate digital 3D representation of the object
or surface.
• In the context of surveying, laser scanning is used to capture detailed information about a site or
structure. For example, it can be used to create a 3D model of a building or a topographical map of a
landscape. Laser scanning is particularly useful for surveying complex or inaccessible areas, as it can
capture data from multiple angles and in difficult-to-reach locations.
• Overall, laser scanning is a powerful tool for surveying and mapping, offering high levels of accuracy
and efficiency.
DRONES :-
• Drones have become increasingly popular in surveying due to their ability to capture high-quality aerial imagery and data.
They can be used for a variety of surveying applications, including mapping, topography, land surveying, and construction
site inspections.
• Drones are equipped with cameras and sensors that can capture images and data from a bird's eye view, which can be
processed using software to generate 3D models and maps. This allows surveyors to collect data quickly and accurately,
without the need for traditional surveying methods, which can be time-consuming and expensive.
1. Safety: Drones can be used to survey areas that are difficult or dangerous for humans to access, such as steep cliffs or high-
rise buildings.
2. Cost-effective: Drones can cover large areas quickly and at a lower cost than traditional surveying methods, such as aerial
photography or ground-based surveys.
3. Environmental impact: Drones have a smaller environmental footprint than traditional surveying methods, as they do not
require heavy equipment or personnel on the ground.
TOTAL STATION:-
• Overall, modern technologies have made surveying more accurate, efficient, and
cost-effective. They have enabled surveyors to capture more data in less time and
to create highly detailed maps and plans that are essential for a wide range of
applications, from construction and engineering to land-use planning and
environmental management.
