Surveying and Mapping, which is now also known as Geomatic Engineering, is a rapidly developing discipline that focuses on spatial information, i.e. locational information. The location is the main factor used to integrate a very wide range of data for viewing and analysis. As almost all information has some kind of location, the varieties of information and applications with which the Surveying Engineer is involved are extremely wide. Surveying/Geomatics Engineering includes the disciplines of land boundaries cadastres, geodesy, photogrammetry, remote sensing, mapping, geographic and land information systems, spatial computing, computer vision, and surveying business. Land boundaries (cadastres) are concerned with the surveying of property boundary lines. Geodesy is concerned with precise positioning on the Earth, and thus serves as a foundation for other spatial sciences. Photogrammetry is the science of high precision measurements from photographs and other forms of imagery. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are systems for bringing together large amounts of data, spatial and non-spatial, to aid in complex decision-making, modeling, planning and management of resources, and land management.
