Plane surveying
Plane surveying is the process of surveying by assuming that the earth is flat. Which mean the curvature or spherical shape of the earth is not considered in plane surveying calculations.
Geodetic surveying
Geodetic surveying is a process of surveying by considering the curvature or spherical shape of the earth. The exact positions of points obtained on plane surveying are given by geodetic.
Difference Between Plane Surveying and Geodetic Surveying
Plane Surveying
- Earth surface is assumed as plain
- Line formed by any two points are considered as straight line – as the same angles are plain angles
- Suitable for small area surveying
- Survey accuracy is low
- Economic and easy survey method
Geodetic Surveying
- Earth surface is considered as spherical
- Line formed by joining any two points are considered as arch –as the same angles are spherical angles
- Suitable for large area surveying
- Survey accuracy is high
- Special instrument needed and long survey method
Great Information,Keep up the good work
Tq medam I will try
Really superb work. Hats off to u. Very easy to understand
on point
Greant answer
Why earth curvature is neglected in plane survey?
In plane survey, a small area is under survey thus the earth is considered to be a plane neglecting its curvature
Good
Greate
Really good!
thanks for sharing this. very informative.
finally I know the difference between the two
This is a required site
Thank you
