The term geomatics emerged first in Canada; it has been introduced worldwide in a number of institutes of higher education during the past few years, mostly by renaming what was previously called “geodesy” or “surveying”, and by adding a number of computer science and/or GIS-oriented courses.2. Increasingly critical are areas of expanding populations, appreciating land values, dwindling natural resources, and the continuing stressing of the quality of our land, water and air from human activities. 3. Data management and process are handled through the use of computer programs for engineering design, digital photogrammetry, image analysis, relational data base management, and geographic information systems (GIS). 4. The type of surveying in which the mean surface of the earth is considered a plane, or in which the curvature of the earth can be disregarded without significant error, generally is called plane surveying.5. Since this instrument determine the lengths based on phase changes that occur as electromagnetic energy of known wavelength travels from one end of a line to the other and returns.6. Since the advent of EDM equipment, traversing has emerged as the most popular method to establish control networks such as basic area control, mapping, control of hydrographic surveys and construction projects.7. In fact, a theodolite may be regarded as a mechanical realization of the geometry of three concurrent straight linesthe telescope axis, the so-called transit axis to which the telescope axis should be perpendicular, and the main rotation axis to which the transit axis should be perpendicular.8. If the geometry of the instrument is perfect, then when the rotation axis is vertical, the transit axis will be horizontal and the line of sight will sweep out a vertical plane when the telescope is elevated or depressed.9. Trigonometric leveling, also called direct leveling, is leveling in which horizontal or slope distances and vertical angles are measured and used to compute elevation differences.10. The equipment cost is extremely high and applications are restricted to very large projects where terrain, weather, time, and access impose special constraints on traditional methods.11. A level consists of a high-powered telescope with a spirit level attached to it in such a manner that when its bubble is centered, the line of sight is horizontal.12. After the instrument has been set up on a control station, centered, leveled and properly oriented, and the prism target has been set up over another point whose position is to be measured, the surveyor may focus the target and depress a button.13. Should, however, the tape be found to actually be 100.30ft long instead of 100.00ft, the values obtained are not accurate although they are precise.14. When GPS signal passes through the ionosphere and troposphere, it is refracted, causing the speed of the signal to be different from the speed of a GPS signal in space.15. Unlike a flat paper map, “ what you see is what you get “, a GIS can present many layers of different information.五 翻译段落：1A vertical angle is an angle measured in a vertical plane which is referenced to a horizontal line by plus (up) or minus (down) angles, or to a vertical line from the zenith direction. Plus and minus vertical angles are sometimes referred to as elevation or depression angles, respectively. A vertical angle thus lies between 0o and +90o. Zenith is the term describing points on a celestial sphere that is a sphere of infinitely large radius with its center at the center of the earth. The zenith angle is an angle measured in a vertical plane downward from an upward directed vertical line through the instrument. It is thus between 0o and 180o. Obviously the zenith angle is equal to 90o minus the vertical angles. Vertical angles or zeniths are used in the correction of slope distance to the horizontal or in height determined.2. The GPS receiver “locks on” to one satellite and calculates the range to be 12,000 miles. This fact helps narrow the receiver location down, but it only tells that the receiver is somewhere on a sphere which is centered on the satellite and has a 12,000 miles radius. Now, consider that the receiver picks up a signal from a second satellite and calculates the range between the receiver and the satellite to be 10,000 miles. That means it is also somewhere on a sphere with a 10,000 miles radius with the second satellite at the center. It must, therefore, be somewhere where these two spheres intersect. When the two spheres intersect, a circle is formed, so it must be somewhere on that circle. If the receiver picks up another satellite, says at 11,000 miles away, another sphere is formed, and there are only two points where the three spheres intersect. Usually the receiver can discard one of the last two points because it is nowhere near the earth. So, one point which is the location of the GPS receiver is left. In practice, a fourth measurement is needed to correct for clock error.3. A variety of other enhancements were under consideration, including increased power, the addition of a new military code at the L1 and L2 frequencies, additional ground stations, more frequent uploads, and an increase in the number of satellites. These policy initiatives are driven by the dual needs of maintaining national security while supporting the growing dependence on GPS by commercial industry. This dual need was also reflected by the fact that at the same time it was decided that the GPS policy would be managed at a national level by the Interagency GPS Executive Board (IGEB). The IGEB has members from the commerce, interior, state, agriculture and justice department next to the Joint Chiefs of Staff, NASA, Defence and Transportation. A White House press release on March 30, 1998, announced officially that a civil signal would be added to the GPS L2 frequency. Instead of replicating the C/A-code, a truly modernized L2 civil (L2C) signal was designed.六 论述题（选做）1 Please discuss what is visualization and virtual reality of geographic information system .2 Combined horizontal and vertical angle measurement requirements, please discuss the main features of each part constituting the optical theodolite 3 Please introduce how many GPS error source Answers一 Definition(3)Geomatics: is concerned with the measurement,representation ,analysis,management,retrieval and display of spatial data concerning both the earths physical features and the built environment.Level surface: is a curved surface that at every point is perpendicular to the plumb line.

GIS visualization is the use of computer graphics hardware and software technology, with the graphical presentation of geospatial data and the results undergeography processing and analysis. It is the dynamic, interactive, figurative, multi-angle, multi-level and comprehensive description of the objects.To the virtualization research, reproduction and predictable phenomena, it is significance in methodological. For example,we can express amount of precipitation and other geoscience data field;we can describe the ore ,vein in the underground using real three-dimensional; we can simulate of flood flows and fluctuations, burst and flooded conditions using four-dimensional. If you want to visual, auditory, tactile, and the human form, gesture or password to participate in geographical information environment to get an immersive experience, the virtual reality technology is a key technology to achieve this purpose.2 Combined horizontal and vertic
