Land-surveying software assists in the process of evaluating a 3D landscape to determine the angles and distances between a series of points. Measuring the positioning of these points is typically used to establish maps and boundaries for buildings and other subterranean civic projects.
Land surveyors use a variety of tools, such as total stations (which use beams of light and built-in electronic distance measurement to collect data and triangulate positions), GPS devices, theodolites, drones, retroreflectors, 3D laser scanners (US site) and other technological devices. Surveying also utilises knowledge and practices from many different fields, including trigonometry, geometry, engineering and physics. Today, the data and measurements collected by surveyors in the field can be fed into surveying software to generate precise calculations, visualisations and more.
While there are many different land-surveying techniques, there are three fundamental ones that are used the most often. These three techniques can be used alone or in combination with each other.
One of the more commonly used surveying methods, this assumes that the Earth is a flat surface and disregards its curve.
Used for surveying large areas, this method takes the curvature of the Earth into account.
Data is collected from above via drones, planes and other aircraft.
