Topographic Survey
A topographic survey models the form and surface texture or grain of a site or landscape. A digitally based, metric survey produces a high-resolution three-dimensional image of the terrain, measuring the position and height of manmade and natural topographic features.
What Happens Next?
A topographic survey carried out using remote sensing equipment offers a rapid means of capturing the relief of an area and gather data on natural and artificial features and their arrangement.
Typically, all visible points on the ground surface that are detectable using a GPS or Total Station are captured and combined with UAV mapping and/or laser scanning data to create a point cloud. Line and level data can then be extracted and displayed on a 2D map in multiple formats or digitally in 3D on computer software where data can be interrogated and extracted into any required media.
