Features: This book is written by the author based on years of experience in teaching and research on surveying. The book consists of 11 chapters: Chapters 1 to 5 and Chapters 8 and 9 primarily introduce the basic theories and methods of surveying; Chapter 6 covers the basic principles, use, and testing of total stations; Chapter 7 introduces GPS positioning technology; Chapter 10 discusses traditional and digital large-scale topographic mapping; and Chapter 11 covers the applications of surveying. The book takes large-scale topographic mapping as the main thread and modern surveying technology as the core. Building on the explanation of the basic theories and methods of surveying, it not only introduces the theories and methods of digital mapping but also covers construction surveying, linear engineering surveying, tunnel engineering surveying, and deformation measurement. This book can serve as a textbook for GIS majors and related disciplines in higher education, as well as a reference for surveying professionals. The content of this textbook is divided into four parts: basic knowledge of surveying, traditional surveying instruments and techniques, new surveying technologies, and the applications of surveying techniques. In terms of content organization, the book focuses on the determination of ground points as the main thread. After briefly introducing the basic knowledge of surveying, it elaborates on the fundamental principles of surveying, starting from conventional instruments and emphasizing the use and testing of modern surveying instruments. It then analyzes the sources of measurement errors and their elimination or reduction methods, based on the fundamental principles of surveying and the instruments used. Finally, it discusses the testing and calibration methods of instruments from the perspective of instrument errors, primarily focusing on traditional instruments while highlighting modern surveying instruments, aiming to apply surveying knowledge to solve practical problems. Finally, it introduces control
