Participating the Surveying Camp at the Faculty of Civil Engineering and Environment, Rajamangala University of Technology Lanna

It was an honor for the Surveying Instruments Division to deliver surveying instruments and joined the Surveying Camp as an instructor at the Faculty of Civil Engineering and Environment, Rajamangala University of Technology Lanna for 3 days. Before traveling to the campsite, our technical instructor lectured on the GNSS surveying fundamentals for students to understand the GNSS workflows, theories, pros and cons, and other applications aside from geospatial surveying. Then, we grouped the set of equipment and gave it to each group of students.
 
On the 1st day, we started with Nikon NE-102 and Nikon N Series training. Our instructor explained parts of the instrument, basic programs, and functions to students before doing field surveying.
On the 2nd day, we went to the field and demonstrated how to use the Trimble R8s GNSS started with static surveying which is generally used for generating control points. For this site, we decided to have 6 major control points (High Precision Static) and 4 minor control points (Fast Static) to be used as referenced points for the total station and theodolite surveying so that all the collected points would be on the same coordinate datum. Last but not the least, we showed and explained how to do the GNSS Baseline processing in Trimble Business Center.
We also delivered the drone for mapping together with user-friendly aerial photogrammetry software – SimActive Correlator 3D to enhance the capability of geospatial surveying for students. In this part, we got a special instructor from DJI who demonstrated and lectured how the drone comes to play an important role in doing high-accuracy mapping nowadays.
