Special Issue on Surveying and Mapping

Surveying and Mapping is the technique, profession, and science of accurately determining the terrestrial or three-dimensional position of points and the distances and angles between them. These points are usually on the surface of the Earth, including the description of such surface shapes and features and they are often used to establish land maps and boundaries for ownership or governmental purposes.

An alternative definition, per the American Congress on Surveying and Mapping (ACSM), is the science and art of making all essential measurements to determine the relative position of points or physical and cultural details above, on, or beneath the surface of the Earth, and to depict them in a usable form, or to establish the position of points or details.

To accomplish their objective, surveyors use elements of mathematics (geometry and trigonometry), physics, en-gineering and law. Any relevant research or study is needed and welcomed.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles on exploring Surveying and Mapping.

Authors should read over the journal’s Author’s Guidelines carefully before submission, Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal Paper Submission System. According to the following timetable:

Please kindly notice that the “Special Issue’’ under your manuscript title is supposed to be specified and the research field “Special Issue — Surveying and Mapping” should be chosen during your submission.
