OBJECTIVES:

• To understand the use of Astronomy, Photogrammetry, Total Station and GPS

UNIT I ASTRONOMICAL SURVEYING

Astronomical terms and definition – Motion of sun and stars – Celestial co-ordinate System – Time system – Nautical Alamance – Apparent attitude and corrections – Field observations and determinations of time, longitude, latitude and azimuth by attitude and Hour angle method.

UNIT II AERIAL SURVEYING

Terrestrial Photogrammetry – Terrestrial stereo photogrammetry – Aerial photogrammetry – overlaps – scale of photographs – Vertical and titled photographs distortion in aerial photographs – stereostopic vision – photo interpretation – Applications.

UNIT III TOTAL STATION SURVEYING

Classification – basic measuring and working principles of an Electro – optical and Microwave total station- sources of errors in Electro – optical and Microwave total station – Care and Maintenance of total station – trilateration – Applications.

UNIT IV GPS SURVEYING
