4. Introduction To Surveying
Surveying is inter-changeably called “GEOMATICS”.
BUT, ‘Geomatics’ is a Major Field!
So surveying, by definition stands out:
The science, art, ad technology of determining the relative positions of points, Above, On, Below
the Surface of the Earth.
The discipline which compromises all methods for measuring and collecting all of the
information about the physical earth.

7. Mapping Scales
• High Details
• Small area
• 1:24,00 or larger
Large Scale
• Average
• 1:24,00 – 120,000
Medium Scale
• Less Details
• Large area
• 1:120,000 or smaller
Small Scale

10. Introduction
The science and art of obtaining reliable
information by the means of
photographs.
Information about 2D and 3D objects
without in contact.

Metric
Applied over spatial
data
Distance, elevation,
area, volume etc.
Interpretative
Related to RS
Classifying objects on
basis of shape, size,
patterns, shadows, etc.

23. While in Geomatics, we go for all those type of the disciplines that deals with the
measurements of the geo-data, like geodesy, surveying, photogrammetry, GPS etc.
A more specialized field.
It deals with the acquisition of the data along with modeling, and all other GIS stuff.
