LECTURE 2:

Methods of Cadastral
surveying
(For Fixed boundaries)
Traversing
• This is basically a series of lines and angles measured
to determine coordinates of points.
• It involves the use of a theodolite, total station and
tapes
Triangulation
• Based on triangles and measurement of angles of
vertices. It involves the intersection techniques of
cadastral surveying.
Trilateration
• The area is divided into triangles and all the sides are
measured instead of the angles to determine
coordinates of the vertices.
Photogrammetry
• Photographs are taken of areas with control points
and boundaries fixed. Coordinates are extracted from
the aerial photographs using a techniques called aerial
triangulation.
Global Positioning Systems
• These carryout positioning using satellites and receivers
which are either handheld GPSs or Geodetic GPS receivers.
Theses determine coordinates of points on the earth’s
surface using the trilateration technique involving satellites
in orbit.
Methods of cadastral
surveying
General boundaries
Plane table method
• Plane table surveying is a graphical method of surveying in
which the field observations and plotting are done
simultaneously.
• It is simple and cheaper than theodolite survey. It is suitable
for small scale maps.
• The plan is drawn by the surveyor in the field , while the area
to be surveyed is before his eyes. Therefore there is no
possibility of omitting the necessary measurements.
• The plane table can be used in triangulation or trialateration
• General boundaries can also be fixed using photogrammetry.
