Terrestrial Surveying
Before aerial photography, map creation relied on triangulation, pacing, and compass orientation. A key challenge was maintaining internal consistency across vast survey networks. The introduction of the theodolite in the 18th century allowed for angular measurements with unprecedented precision. However, data quality was often compromised by the subjective application of magnetic declination bias—the tendency of early surveyors to record [magnetic… -

Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing
The advent of aerial photography revolutionized large-scale mapping. By capturing overlapping images from elevated platforms (initially balloons, then aircraft), surveyors could derive three-dimensional coordinates through stereoscopic viewing. Modern remote sensing techniques, utilizing LiDAR and satellite-based Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR)), provide continuous,…
