Theory:
A map is a graphic representation of selected natural and manmade features of the whole or a part of the
earth’s surface on a flat sheet of paper on a definite scale and in their correct relative geographic positions
and elevation, symbols, colour differentiations and contours help to show the physical features- mountains,
valleys and plains in their true relationship to the land and to manmade features.
Map Scale:
Maps are drawn to scale. A scale is the ratio of the distance between any two points on a map to the actual
distance between the corresponding points on the ground. The map scale may be expressed in any of the
following three different ways:
1) By a statement ( 1cm= 1km)
2) By a numerical fraction
Representative Factor RF (1: 100000)= Distance on the map / Distance on the ground
The numerator 1 (unity) represents the distance on the map while the denominator indicates the
actual distance on the ground measured in the same units.
1/ 10, 000, 00 or 1:10, 000, 00.
3) Graphical Section or Linear Scale
Scale is drawn on the map.

Legs adjustment:
i) Place the instrument over given station mark.
ii) Bring all the foot screw in the centre of their run.
iii) Spread the tripod legs well apart to get the required height of the instrument for easy sighting.
Adjust the legs in such a way that the tribrach sprang is in level. ( level the instrument first by
adjusting the legs of tripod)
iv) Fix any two legs firmly in to the ground. Move the third leg to left or right till the main bubble
is approximately in the centre. Then move it in or out until the bubble of the cross level is
approximately in the centre.
v) Fix the leg in such a position that both (longitudinal and cross) bubbles are approximately in the
centre of their run.
Levelling up:
i) Place the telescope parallel to any two foot screws and bring the bubble to the centre of its run
by turning these screws equally either inwards or outwards.
ii) Turn the telescope through 90° so that it lies over the third foot screw. (Keep the telescope in
the position perpendicular to the first position) Centre the bubble by turning this screw.
iii) Bring the telescope back to its original position without reversing the eye-piece and object glass
ends.
iv) Again bring the bubble to the centre of its run and repeat these operations until the bubble
remains in the centre of its run in both positions, which are at right angles to each other. If the
instrument is in adjustment, the bubble will remain centre for all direction of the telescope.
2) Focusing the Eye-piece and Object glass :
a) Focusing the eye piece :
i) Remove the lid from the object glass and hold a white paper in front of it.
ii) Move the eye piece in and out until the cross hairs are distinctly seen. ( care is to be taken not to
take out the eye piece wholly)
b) Focusing of the object glass :
i) Direct he telescope towards the staff by looking through the eye piece and bring the image of
the staff between the two vertical cross hairs.
ii) Move the eye up and down. The staff reading should not be change along with the movement of
the eye. If so, it is said that parallax completely eliminated.

Reduced bearing (R.B): In this system of bearing of a line is measured clockwise or anticlockwise from
north or south direction whichever is nearer to the line towards east or west. The concept of reduced
bearing facilitates computations in traverse surveying.
29
Conversion of R.B in W.C.B.
1) Centering: - The compass fitted over the tripod is lifted bodily and placed approximately on the station
peg by spreading the leg of a tripod equally, The centre of the compass is checked by dropping a small
piece of stone from the centre of the bottom of the compass so that it falls on the top of the station peg. A
plumb bob may be used to judge the centering either by attaching it with a hook provided at the bottom or
otherwise by holding it by hand.
2) Levelling:-After the compass is centred, it is leveled by means of ball and socket arrangement so that
the graduated circle may swing freely. It can be checked roughly by placing a round pencil on the top of
the compass, when the pencil does not move, that is roughly the horizontal position.
3) Focusing the prism: - The prism attached is moved up and down so that graduation on the graduated
circle should become sharp and clear.

Procedure: -
A) To study the mirror stereoscope
Mirror stereoscope: -
The stereoscopic fusion is facilitated by the use of stereoscopes. The principal function of
stereoscope is to accommodate a wide separation of the point in the left and right photograph, to the fixed
length of the eye base. In mirror stereoscope two mirrors are used. As shown in the figure the separation of
the points has been widened from
‘a a1’ to ‘a2 a3’ and ‘b b1’ to ‘b2 b3’. Although lens or prism stereoscopes are compact and convenient for
use in the field, the mirror stereoscope allows greater area of photographs to be covered. The ray diagram
explains the optics with the help of which the fusion that is the three-dimensional view is obtained through
the stereoscope.
Mirror stereoscope
39
Viewing The Aerial Photographs & Its Mutual Orientation-
The aerial, photograph is also called as stereo grams. Mark center point ( i.e Principal point, at
intersection of straight lines connecting fudicial frame mark .Mow place the both photographs
below stereoscope in direction of flight. Both photos are now shifted & swung until marked object in
two pictures appear to be one & on line parallel to base. In other words photographs are shifted &
swung till 3d view is obtained. This procedure of obtaining 3d view is called as 'fusing' photographs.
P1 & P2 – Principal points (Fiducial Mark) 793B (793 B – Identification no for area)
Phototgraph no – 1A-6 (Serial no for strip)
a - Date
b - Time
c - Pressure
d - Direction of flight
Procedure
There are four basic methods of determining scale of an aerial photography which is in
decreasing order of accuracy are as follows:
The relation between two points on ground of known distance and same two points on photo.
The relation between two points on map and same two points on photo.
The relation between an object on ground where dimensions are known same object on
photograph.
The relationship between focal length of camera lens and altitude of camera lens.
40
B) To determine the air base distance for the given aerial photographs.
Measurement of Air Base Distance:-
1. A pair of consecutive aerial photographs is taken and the principal points ‘P1’ on the left photograph
and ‘P2’ on the right photograph are marked with china pencil, taking the help of the markings on the
photographs.
2. The photographs are placed under the stereoscopes and the photographs are moved until they fuse and
a clear three-dimensional picture of the terrain photographed is seen.
3. By keeping the point of one pencil on the principal point P’1 of the left photograph and by moving the
point of the other pencil the corresponding position of P’1 is obtained on the right photograph in such a
way that the points of the two pencils fuse with each other. This point will be marked on the right
photograph and called P’1. By following the similar proceduresP’2 on the right photograph is
transferred to the corresponding point P’2 on the left photograph.
4. The points P1, P’2 and P’1, P2 are joined. These distances are expected to be of same length. They are
measured and the average taken which in called as principal base line.
5. The average base line distance is multiplied by the scale of the photograph to obtain the air base
distance.

Introduction to Drone Technology:-
Theory:
A drone survey refers to the use of drone, or unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), to capture aerial data with
downward-facing sensors, such as RGB or multispectral cameras, and LIDAR payloads. During a drone
survey with an RGB camera, the ground is photographed several times from different angles, and each
image is tagged with coordinates.
Survey drones generate high-resolution orthomosaics and detailed 3D models of areas were low-quality,
outdated or even no data, are available. They thus enable high - accuracy Cadastral maps to be produced
quickly and easily, even in complex or difficult to access environments. Surveyors can also extract features
from the images, such as signs, curbs, road markers, fire hydrants and drains.
44
Digital Surface Model (DSM) Digital Terrain Model (DTM)
1. Check before you leave the office: Check the local regulations and make sure taht you are allowed to fly
your drone at the planned location. Also, make sure that the weather is suitable, meaning no rain, fog,
snowfall or strong winds. Check that the battery of your drone and connected devices such as tablets are
fully charged and that the memory card of your drone camera has sufficient empty space to capture the
entire project.
2. Plan your flight: You can create the survey flight plan with the drone flight planning app on the tablet.
For this, just tap and drag the points around the area you want to survey, or import a KML file. Make sure
you account for tall objects within the flight plan, as well as altitude differences. If needed, you can adjust
flight settings such as altitude, ground sampling distance (GSD), flight direction and images overlap.
3. Set up your flight in the field: During this step, you basically unpack and assemble the drone and make
sure that it is ready to take off in safe conditions. Following the interactive check-list, you will one-by-one
45
check every parameter, like the calibration of the airspeed sensor and making sure the camera lid is
removed.
4. Fly and collect images: After pushing the take-off button, the drone autonomously takes off, captures
images and lands back where it started. In this step, the operator essentially makes sure that nobody
approaches the drone during take-off or landing and that weather conditions stay optimal for the survey
mission.
5. Geotag your Images: After one or several flights, import the images into WingtraHub software to geotag
them. Geo-tagging assigns geographical position (X, Y, Z) information to the images either in a separate
CSV file or in the images’ meta-data.
A typical unmanned aircraft is made of light composite materials to reduce weight and increase
maneuverability. This composite material strength allows military drones to cruise at extremely high
altitudes.
46
UAV drones are equipped with different state of the art technology such as infrared cameras, GPS and
laser (consumer, commercial and military UAV).
Drones are controlled by remote ground control systems (GSC) and also referred to as a ground cockpit.
An unmanned aerial vehicle system has two parts, the drone itself and the control system.
The nose of the unmanned aerial vehicle is where all the sensors and navigational systems are present. The
rest of the body is full of drone technology systems since there is no space required to accommodate
humans.
The engineering materials used to build the drone are highly complex composites designed to absorb
vibration, which decrease the sound produced. These materials are very light weight.
Drones can fly in both GNSS and non satellite modes. For example, DJI drones can fly in P-Mode (GPS &
GLONASS) or ATTI mode, which doesn’t use GPS.
Highly accurate drone navigation is very important when flying, especially in drone applications such as
creating 3D maps, surveying landscape and SAR (Search & Rescue) missions.
When the quadcopter is first switched on, it searches and detects GNSS satellites. High end GNSS systems
use Satellite Constellation technology. Basically, a satellite constellation is a group of satellites working
together giving coordinated coverage and are synchronized, so that they overlap well in coverage. Pass or
coverage is the period in which a satellite is visible above the local horizon.
Signal that enough drone GNSS satellites have been detected and the drone is ready to fly
Display the current position and location of the drone in relation to the pilot
Record the home point for ‘Return To Home’ safety feature
Most of the latest UAVs have 3 types of Return to Home drone technology as follows;
47
Pilot initiated return to home by pressing button on Remote Controller or in an app
A low battery level, where the UAV will fly automatically back to the home point
Loss of contact between the UAV and Remote Controller, with the UAV flying back
automatically to its home point
The latest Mavic Air2 technology can sense obstacles during automatic return to home.
Many UAV drone ground controllers use FPV (First Person View), which transmit the video from the
drone to the controller or mobile device.
The no fly zones are regulated and categorized by the Federal Aviation Authority (FAA). Manufacturers
can change the no fly zone drone technology using UAV firmware updates.

AUTOCAD
Learning AutoCAD is a bit like trying to decide which came first – the chicken or the eggs. On one hand,
you need to know many basics before you can start drawing. On the other hand, understanding those basics
can be very difficult if you haven’t had the experience of drawing something. By experiencing the drawing
process first, the initial learning curve will be easier and smoother.
The major disciplines that use AutoCAD are
Architectural, Engineering and Construction
Mechanical
Geographic Information Systems (GIS)
Surveying and Civil Engineering
Facilities management
Electrical/electronics
Multimedia
Garment industry (pattern making)
Sign making
82
2) Lay Out of Drawing
On paper, a layout is constrained by the sheet size you use. In Cad you are not limited to
one particular layout or sheet size.
When you draft manually, you first select a sheet, which usually includes a preprinted
border and title block. Then you determine the location for views-plans, elevations, sections
and details. Finally you start to draw.
With AutoCAD, you first draw your design, or model, in a working environment called
model space. You can then create a layout for that model in an environment called paper
space.
3) Organize Drawing Information
In both manual drafting and CAD, you need a way to organize your drawing content – a
method for deparating, sorting and editing specific drawing data.
With manual drafting, you can separate information on to individual transparent overlays.
E.g. a building plan might contain deparate overlays for its structural, electrical, and
plumbing components.
In AutoCAD, layers are equivatent to transparent overlays. Layers are equivalent to
transparent overlays. As with overlays, you can display, edit, and print layers separately or
in combination.
You can name layers to help track content, and lock layers so they can’t be altered.
Assigning settings such as color, linetype or lineweight to alyers helps you comply with
industry standards.
4) Establish Drafting standards
Manual drafting requires meticulous accuracy in drawing linetypes, lineweights, text,
dimensions, and more. Standards must be established in the beginning and applied
consistently.
With AutoCAD, you can ensure conformity to industry or company standards by creating
styles that you can apply consistently.
5) Draw Efficiently
Draw with less effort and recise with more speed: these are the two main reasons you use
CAD.
6) Draw Accurately
Engineering and architectural drawings requires a high degree of accuracy. With CAD, you
draft more accurately than with manual methods.
83
7) View your Drawing
The power of CAD makes it easy for you to quickly view different parts of your design at
different magnifications.
8) Create Standard Symbols
Symbols have long been used in manual drafting as a way to represent real world objects in
a simplified way. The ability to create and reuse standard symbols is one of CAD’s greatest
strength.
9) Create Dimensions and Text
Creating accurate dimensions and consistent, ligible text is a time- consuming task for the
manual drafter. CAD provides ways to streamline this task.
When you work on paper, if wou resize any part of the drawing, you must erase and then
redraw the dimensions. Changing text can often involve relettering the whole drawing
In AutoCAD, associative dimensions are tied to the underlying model. Changes to the
model automatically update the dimension values.
10) Modify your drawing
AutoCAD eliminates tedious manual editing by providing a variety of editing tools.
Tool palettes are tabbed areas within the Tool Palettes window. The items you add to a tool palette are
called tools. You can create a tool by dragging any of the following, one at a time, onto your tool palette:

External references (xrefs)
Commands, system variables, options, messages and prompts are displayed in a dockable and resizable
window called the command window. The bottom line of the command window is called the command
line. The command line displays the operation in progress and provides an inside view of exactly what the
program is doing.

Microsoft Project
Microsoft Project is a project management software program, developed and sold by Microsoft, which is
designed to assist a project in developing a plan, assigning resources to tasks, tracking progress, managing
the budget, and analyzing workloads.
Microsoft Project was the company's third Microsoft Windows-based application, and within a couple of
years of its introduction it became the dominant PC-based project management software.
Microsoft Project and Microsoft Project Server are the cornerstones of the Microsoft Office enterprise
project management (EPM) product.
Project creates budgets based on assignment work and resource rates. As resources are assigned to tasks
and assignment work estimated, the program calculates the cost, equal to the work times the rate, which
rolls up to the task level and then to any summary tasks and finally to the project level.
Resource definitions (people, equipment and materials) can be shared between projects using a shared
resource pool. Each resource can have its own calendar, which defines what days and shifts a resource is
available. Resource rates are used to calculate resource assignment costs which are rolled up and
summarized at the resource level. Each resource can be assigned to multiple tasks in multiple plans and
each task can be assigned multiple resources, and the application schedules task work based on the
resource availability as defined in the resource calendars. All resources can be defined in label without
limit. Therefore it cannot determine how many finished products can be produced with a given amount of
raw materials.
This makes Microsoft Project unsuitable for solving problems of available materials constrained
production. Additional software is necessary to manage a complex facility that produces physical goods.
The application creates critical path schedules, and critical chain and event chain methodology third-party
add-ons also are available. Schedules can be resource leveled, and chains are visualized in a Gantt chart.
Additionally, Microsoft Project can recognize different classes of users. These different classes of users
can have differing access levels to projects, views, and other data. Custom objects such as calendars,
views, tables, filters, and fields are stored in an enterprise global which is shared by all users.

1. CPM Technique in MSP
The Critical Path Method (CPM) is one of several related techniques for doing project planning. CPM is
for projects that are made up of a number of individual "activities." Activities are either in parallel or in
series. Duration of an activity is the major criteria, decides the total project duration. Longest path of the
network is the total project duration. Sequence of activities can be easily shown in with the help of MSP.
Allocation of resources (4 M and time) also becomes easier with the help of software.
The Program (or Project) Evaluation and Review Technique, commonly abbreviated PERT, is a
statistical tool, used in project management, which was designed to analyze and represent the tasks
involved in completing a given project. PERT technique is based on probabilistic approach where time
required for each activity is not known due to its uncertainty. All the calculation for project duration and
for resource allocation is similar to CPM network and hence can be easily done with the software.

Primavera P6
Primavera Systems provides project and program management software for the Architecture,
Engineering and Construction industry. Focused on project portfolio management, or PPM, Primavera's
solutions let users measure progress, assure governance, improve team collaboration and prioritize project
investments and resources. Primavera software is very advanced software as compared to MS Project.
Primavera's software packages include P6, Prosight, Contract Manager, Cost Manager, Pertmaster,
SureTrak, Evolve and Inspire. The newest addition to the suite of project management solutions is
Primavera P6, which is an integrated PPM (project portfolio management) solution that provides a real-
time view of portfolio performance. P6 also offers what-if scenario modeling, tabular scorecards and
capacity analysis.
The hardware requirements of Primavera software vary depending on a client's specific needs, but
some general technical specifications apply to all software packages:
- The application server must be supported by Apache Tomcat, BEA Web Logic, IBM Web Sphere.
- The database must be supported by Oracle 9i or 10g or Microsoft SQL Server 2000 and 2005.
- The client operating system must be Microsoft Windows XP Professional, Microsoft Windows Vista
Business Edition or Citrix. For Web-based solutions, Internet Explorer 6 or 7 is required
Engineer/Architect/Designer As the project designer will use the module to track specifications and
drawings, control the submittal review process, monitor progress by the design team, communicate with
other team members, and coordinate the activities of outside consultants.
The following list includes tasks that are usually the responsibility of the designer in the contract process.
Included with each task is the corresponding chapter/part in this manual where you can find more
information about those tasks.

Life Cycle of Project
This planning and its analysis can be done in Primavera software. It is also possible to compare
planned resources and actual implemented resources which help to generate various reports. We can use
this software in mechanical engineering, production engineering, polymer engineering etc.
