Unit 1 What is Geomatics? Terms Highlights Geomatics — 测绘学 English for Geomatics Engineering(测绘工程专业英语) Geodesy — 大地测量学 Informatics — 信息学，情报学 GEODESY+GEOINFORMATICS = GEOMATICS 将大地测量学和地球信息学两词合成后就成为测绘学 Surveyor — 测量员 Hydrographic — 海道测量，水道测量 Terms Highlights Surveying and mapping — 测绘 Photogrammetry — 摄影测量学 Remote sensing (RS) — 遥感 Global positioning system — 全球定位系统 Satellite positioning — 卫星定位 Geographic information systems (GIS) — 地理信息系统 land management — 土地管理 computer graphics — 计算机图形学 What is Geomatics? Geomatics Defined Branches of Geomatics Other Definitions of Geomatics Geomatics Defined Geodesy+Geoinformatics=Geomatics Geo Earth; matics Mathematical Geo Geoscience; matics Informatics Geomatics Defined The term geomatics emerged first in Canada and as an academic discipline, 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. 测绘工程首次出现于加拿大并被当作一门学科，许多高校的学术机构在过去的几年当中广泛的推荐了这个词，这个词来源于过去称为“大地测量学”或“测量学”，并且加入了很多计算机科学及GIS方面的课程。 Geomatics Defined More explicit job descriptions such as Land Surveyor, Engineering Surveyor or Hydrographic Surveyor for example, are commonly used by practitioners to more clearly describe and market their specialized expertise. 更具体的工作如土地测量员、工程测量员和水道测量员，一般被业内人士用来更准确的描述他们的专门技术。 Geomatics Defined As a result, both course and award titles in the traditional Land Surveying sector at many of the world’ s leading universities are being changed to “Degree in Geomatics”. 结果，世界上许多一流大学的传统的测量专业的无论是课程还是授予学位名称都改为“测绘学位”。 Geomatics Defined In the last decade, there has been dramatic development and growth in the use of hardware and software solutions to both measure and process geo-spatial data. 在过去的十年中，在应用硬件和软件的方法 来测量和处理地球空间数据工作时 有着戏剧性的发展和增长。 Geomatics Defined In addition, recent advances in the technology of data collect
