    CH1: SURVEYING INSTRUMENTATION

    CE 260/261 FIELD MEASUREMENTS


    WHAT IS SURVEYING?
    Surveying is the art and science of measuring
    angles, distances and positions (northing, easting
    and elevation), on or near the surface of the earth.
    GEOMATICS
    Geomatics is a term
    describing the
    computerization and
    digitization of geographic
    data collection, data
    processing, data analysis
    and data output.
    GROUP EXERCISE – 15 MINUTES
    Brainstorm Questions:
    1. What type of geographic information is
    needed?
    2. How is geographic information used?
     Transportation
     Land Use and Development  Telematics
     Municipal Govt Infrastructure  Agriculture
     Defense and Security  Electric and Gas Utility
     Land Registry & Tax  Census and Elections
    Assessments
    GEOMATICS DATA MODEL
    FIELD SURVEYING
    Collection of data
    through traditional
    survey techniques
    TAPES
    Used for short measurements.
    Distances, Height of
    Instruments.
    Steel and Fiberglass
    TRIPOD
    Mounting system
    Levels
    Theodolites
    Total Stations

    Device screws on top


    PLUMB BOB
    Bronze weight on a string
    Used for point location
    Hold string under
    instrument and the weight
    should be over the point
    LEVEL AND ROD
    Used to determine
    elevation relative to
    known benchmark.
    Mounts on Tripod.
    LEVELS
    LEVELS
    Leveling Base
    Three Screws
    Spirit Level
    LEVEL AND ROD
    THEODOLITES
    Measure horizontal and vertical angles.
    Mounts on tripod.

    (COURTESY OF LEICA GEOSYSTEMS)
    TOTAL STATION & PRISM
     Measures Elevations, Distances
    and Angles.
     Electronic Distance
    Measurement (EDM).
     Can implement field calculations.
     Prism replaces the level rod
     Mounts on Tripod
    TOTAL STATIONS
     Components
     Electronic angle measurement
     Electronic distance measurement (EDM)
     On-board or interfaced digital storage
     Electronic monitoring of instrument status and operation, and control of
    program applications

     Level of complexity for us as surveyors has increased dramatically


    since development
    DATA COLLECTOR
    The Data Collector is connected to
    the Total Station unit and records
    information for us in the field

    Our data collector uses a software


    program known as Survey Pro
    (windows based)
    FIELD OPERATIONS
     Point location
     Missing line measurement
     Resection
     Remote object elevation
     Distance offset measurements
     Angle offset measurements
     Layout, or setting out positions
     Area computations
    GLOBAL NAVIGATION SATELLITE SYSTEM (GNSS)
    POINT POSITIONING

    Satellite positions
    are known.
    Distance between
    receiver and each
    Satellite are known
    GNSS: GPS RECEIVERS
    GPS Receivers need 4+ satellite signals to
    accurately determine position
    Northing, Easting, Elevation
    Mount on tripod

    “Point Clouds”
    SATELLITE IMAGERY
    Digital image analysis
    to classify terrain
    Soil/Rock type
    Measure distances
