Introduction of mapping equipment Mapping equipment are tools that are used to measure and record geological and nuiographic data. This equipment helps engineers and geologists to make maps
A variety of mapping equipment
A. Total Station This device is a combination of electronic theodolite and electronic distance finder and is used to measure angles and distances with high accuracy.
2. GPS (GPS): global positioning system that is used to determine the precise geographical location of different points. 4. Level: a device for determining the height of points relative to a reference surface
5. Mapping Drones: Drones with advanced cameras are able to collect aerial data and prepare 3D maps. 6. Laser Scanners: These devices collect accurate 3D data from the environment using cloud computing.
These types of devices use very advanced systems that can measure distances using radio waves and light waves. These devices are very advanced and working with them is for engineers and you can create very accurate maps using them. These devices have three models, which are: 1. Models that work using microwaves. 2. Devices that work using infrared rays. 3. Models that work using light waves
Infrared devices use modulated infrared rays and their range is 5 km and have an error of about 10 mm, and this is if the optical devices use modulated light waves. they work and their accuracy is about 5 mm, but it depends on the distance, these devices can work up to 3 km.
But the first type, which work using microwaves, are very accurate and can be used up to 100 km away. These devices are very practical and compact, but they need two skilled operators for mapping.
Total Station Mapping Equipment
Total stations have many features and they can be used in many ways and are mostly used to measure angles. Therefore, it can be said that these devices have combined capabilities that allow the user to do several tasks at the same time with one device.
These devices have the following capabilities:
Keyboard
All operations are performed by a keyboard.
Digit screen
This screen can display the value of the distance, angle, etc. taken from the target as a number on the screen. /b>
These devices have the ability to use them to measure the height of the towers and see their unattainable height.
Survey program< br>Using this program, you can save a coordinate in it and implement it elsewhere.
Alignment settings for distance and height
GPS equipment
GPS mapping equipment is one of those very complex tools that can be used to map using the power of satellites. Using a very complex system, these devices take data from 27 satellites around the earth's orbit and show it on the screen.
Of course, the devices that you can use to do massive mapping and big projects are very advanced and you should save and review their information.
One of these devices is called Xima S10, which is a GPS receiver for different conditions and even difficult conditions and can easily receive information. HIRO company has the ability to do your mapping using their mapping application and using this device, and this is done with a phone.
