Setting out horizontal and vertical curves for road and railway engineering. Hydrographic Surveying: Shoreline mapping and soundings. Photogrammetry: Aerial survey fundamentals. Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) GPS
While modern surveying has integrated digital technologies like Total Stations, Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) GPS, and LiDAR drones, the underlying physics and geometry remain unchanged. A digital instrument merely automates the calculations that Kanetkar and Kulkarni teach from first principles. and LiDAR drones
