Geodetic Surveying Introduction
 Geodetic surveying aims to measure large-
scale distances, angles, and elevations with
high precision
 These essential techniques form the backbone
of accurate boundary mapping, construction,
and topographic studies Advanced Methods:
1. Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS)
Key Methods:
2. Astronomical Positioning
1. Triangulation
3. Photogrammetry
2. Trilateration
4. Remote Sensing
3. Leveling
5. Gravimetric Surveying (Not part of scope)
Earth as an Ellipsoid
 The Earth is not a perfect sphere but is instead
more like a slightly squished sphere called
an ellipsoid.
 There are many different reference ellipsoids, but
all GPS receivers use the same one, and it is
called the World Geodetic System (WGS-
84) Reference Ellipsoid.
 The reference ellipsoid is a simplified model of
the world around us. It is a smoothed
mathematical representation of Earth’s sea level
surface and ignores the effects of tides, seasonal
currents, and waves.
Plain vs Geodetic Surveying
Geodetic surveying is a method of surveying that considers the Earth's
curvature to measure large areas accurately.
Triangulation
 Network of Triangles:
Establishes precise locations
over vast distances by
measuring angles
 Trigonometric Calculations: A
few measured points help
derive positions of all other
points
 Applications: Widely used in
boundary mapping and
geographic databases
Trilateration
 Distance Measurements: Uses
distances instead of angles to
locate points on the Earth’s
surface
 Used in GPS: Highly accurate,
commonly used in real-time
navigation and satellite
positioning
Leveling
 Elevation Focus: Measures height
differences between points
 Essential for Construction: Ensures
consistent elevation in roads,
structures, channels etc..
