A Research about Digital Topographic Survey and Processing of Spatial Data of Ancient Burial Mounds

本研究探讨以地理资讯系统（Geographical Information Systems，GIS）为工具，进行数位地形测量与空间资料处理的方法。为了收集准确的空间数据，研究人员使用全站仪和GPS对一个地点进行调查。我一直从事冈山县筑栗山古坟郡的空间数据的数字记录和分析。最后，讨论了利用数字地形测量结果处理空间数据的方法和实际问题，以便为这一领域的未来研究提供适当的视角。

This research discusses methodology of making digital topographic surveys and processing spatial data by means of GIS (Geographical Information Systems). To collect accurate spatial data, researchers survey a site using a total station and GPS. I have been engaged in the digital documentation of and analysis of spatial data for the Tsukuriyama kofun-gun, burial mounds in Okayama prefecture. In conclusion, methodological and practical issues in the processing of spatial data using the result of digital topographic surveys are discussed, in order to give a proper perspective for future research in this area.
