Study Notes
Geodetic Engineering vs. Geomatics
- Geodetic Engineering is the study of Earth and celestial bodies measurements and representation
- Geodetic Engineering includes the study of gravitational fields in 3D that change over time.
- The Professional Regulation Commission defines Geodetic Engineering as the act of gathering physical data on Earth's surface using precision instruments
- Geodetic Engineering also includes the scientific and methodical processing of data using graphs, plans, maps, charts, or documents.
- Geodetic Engineering involves more than just measuring land.
Applications and Fields of Geodetic Engineering and Geomatics
- Disaster Management uses Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to determine areas at risk.
- Photogrammetry uses cameras to acquire information.
- Photogrammetry uses overlapping 2D pictures to create 3D representations
- GIS helps to solve global issues by transforming the world into different layers.
- Cartography is the practice of producing scientific maps and displaying information visually.
- Geodetic Engineering utilizes satellite signals to obtain information.
- Geodetic Engineering uses different color wavelengths to represent different features.
- Civil Engineering is the "mother of all engineering" and provides a foundation for Geodetic Engineering.
