Integration of an Analytical Plotter into the Surveying Engineering Program

该项目向测量工程课程的学生介绍最先进的分析摄影测量绘图仪的使用。自飞机问世以来，航空摄影和摄影测量标绘仪器一直被用来绘制地形图。直到十年前，这些仪器都是手动操作的，输出的是在连接到立体绘图仪的绘图台上构建的图形地图。最近，这些绘图仪已与计算机对接，许多定向和测绘操作已实现半自动。非常重要的是，毕业生能够在这种设备上获得一些功能能力，以满足测绘专业的关键需求。

The project introduces the use of the state-of-the-art analytical photogrammetric plotter to students in the Surveying Engineering curriculum. Aerial photographs and photogrammetric plotting instruments have been used for making topographic maps ever since the advent of the airplane. Until a decade ago, these instruments were manually operated and the output was a graphical map constructed on a plotting table which was connected to the stereoplotter. Recently, these plotters have been interfaced with computers and many of the orientation and mapping operations have been semi-automated. It is very important that graduates are able to attain some functional competency on this equipment in order to meet the critical needs of the mapping profession.
