Geomatics Engineering Or Surveying And Geoinformatics by survLordmayor(m): 2:11pm On Apr 08, 2015
Geomatics engineering Geomatics Engineering, Geomatic Engineering, or Geospatial Engineering is a rapidly developing discipline that focuses on spatial information (i.e.
information that has a location). The location is
the primary factor used to integrate a very wide
range of data for spatial analysis and
visualization. Geomatics engineers apply
engineering principles to spatial information and implement relational data structures involving
measurement sciences, thus using geomatics and acting as spatial information engineers.
Geomatics engineers manage local, regional,
national and global spatial data
infrastructures.Geomatics Engineering also
involves aspects of Computer Engineering and
Civil Engineering. Geomatics is a new term incorporating the older
field of land surveying along with many other aspects of spatial data management. Following
the advanced developments in digital data
processing, the nature of the tasks required of
the professional land surveyor has evolved and
the term "surveying" no longer accurately covers
the whole range of tasks that the profession deals with. As our societies become more
complex, information with a spatial position
associated with it becomes more critical to
decision-making, both from a personal and a
business perspective, and also from a community
and a large-scale governmental viewpoint. Therefore, the geomatics engineer can be
involved in an extremely wide variety of
information gathering activities and applications.
Geomatics engineers design, develop, and
operate systems for collecting and analyzing
spatial information about the land, the oceans, natural resources, and manmade features.
Geomatics engineering applications include
integrating science and technology from both
new and traditional disciplines: Geodesy Geodynamics Global positioning system (GPS) or global navigation satellite system (GNSS) Surveying (including land, cadastral, aerial, mining and engineering surveying) Hydrography Navigation Location-based services Cartography and digital mapping Geographic information systems (GIS), geographic information science (GIScience), spatial database management and geographic
information technology (GeoIT) Spatial analysis, spatial data mining and knowledge discovery, and spatial statistics Computer-aided design (CAD) and scientific visualization Geovisualization, Geovisual Analytics , Visual communication design, graphic design and multimedia technology Remote sensing Image processing Photogrammetry Computer vision Land information systems (LIS) Land management, cadastre, real property law Applications programming Project management The more traditional land surveying strand of geomatics engineering is concerned with the
determination and recording of boundaries and
areas of real property parcels, and the preparation and interpretation of legal land
descriptions. The tasks more closely related to civil engineering include the design and layout of public infrastructure and urban subdivisions, and
mapping and control surveys for construction
projects. Geomatics engineers serve society by collecting,
monitoring, archiving, and maintaining diverse
spatial data infrastructures. Geomatics engineers
utilize a wide range of technologically advanced
tools such as digital theodolite/distance meter total stations, Global Positioning System (GPS) equipment, digital aerial imagery (both satellite
and air-borne), and computer-based geographic information systems (GIS). These tools enable the geomatics engineer to gather, process, analyze,
visualize and manage spatially related
information to solve a wide range of technical
and societal problems. Geomatics engineering is the field of activity that
integrates the acquisition, processing, analysis,
display and management of spatial information. It
is an exciting and new grouping of subjects in
the spatial and environmental information
sciences with a broad range of employment opportunities as well as offering challenging pure
and applied research problems in a vast range of
interdisciplinary fields. In different schools and in different countries the
same education curriculum is administered with
the name surveying in some, and in others with the names geomatics, geospatial (information) engineering, or geodesy and geoinformatics.
While these occupations were at one time often
taught in civil engineering education programs, more and more universities include the
departments relevant for geo-data sciences under informatics, computer science or applied mathematics. These facts demonstrate the breadth, depth and scope of the highly
interdisciplinary nature of geomatics engineering.
