Features: Based on the discussion of fundamental concepts and theories of surveying and mapping, this book systematically introduces practical operational methods in surveying work. Through studying this textbook, students can effectively master the basic knowledge and skills of surveying and mapping. The book integrates modern surveying techniques widely applied in various engineering projects. It focuses on total stations, electronic levels, and GPS technology in the context of new instruments; introduces the concept of least squares adjustment in surveying data processing; covers electronic plan mapping technology, underwater terrain surveying techniques, and the concepts and basic principles of photogrammetry and remote sensing mapping in topographic and thematic mapping; and elaborates on the fundamental techniques and methods of construction surveying in engineering surveying. It also introduces the application of surveying in port and transportation engineering, water conservancy engineering, industrial and civil construction, and other engineering projects, aiming to enable readers to apply the learned surveying theories, methods, and techniques to solve relevant surveying problems in engineering. This book serves as a textbook for surveying and mapping in non-surveying majors such as civil engineering, transportation, port and navigation, hydrology, marine science, geology, and water conservancy and hydropower at universities and colleges. It is also available for reference use by relevant engineering technicians.
