AI-based mapping solutions are a true revolution, changing our lives from the ground up. LiDAR data processing processes that once took weeks are now completed in minutes thanks to the magic of AI. Thanks to this technology, surveying engineering is no longer struggling with data; it's redefining speed and accuracy in everything from disaster management and 3D models to data cleansing and streamlining business processes. Instead of being trapped by data, engineers can focus o

Creating a 3D map of the world sounds cool, right? But once you delve into it, you realize how complex and demanding the process actually is. That's where LiDAR technology comes in. It might sound like science fiction, but it's not—LiDAR is used in many fields today, from archaeology to urban planning. So, what is LiDAR? How does a LiDAR scanner work? How can a landform be mapped so precisely with laser beams and time calculations? Without wasting any time, let's explore what

We've all seen strange devices when passing a construction site, but perhaps the strangest is the total station. With its three legs and camera-like head on top, we've always wondered what it was. This technology, useful for general surveying, is often a tool that surveyors always have in their pockets. So, do you know what is a total station? If so, you're in the right place, because here's information about the total station, which you won't find anywhere else! Contents Wha

Maps aren't just for navigation; they're also a powerful way to visualize information. Especially when it comes to thematic maps, as different types of maps make a wide range of data, from landforms and population distribution to climate and geological structure, more understandable. We know that thematic maps provide data-based visualization, but how well do we understand thematic map types? In this article, we'll briefly explain what isometric, choropleth, chorochromatic, a

Maps are seemingly simple tools through which we concretize and analyze our data. But as we examine them, they become increasingly complex. This is especially true for thematic maps. If you're wondering what a thematic map is—colorful, densely dotted, or sparsely dotted, with a wealth of data—you'll find all the answers here. Contents What is a Thematic Map? What is the Use of a Thematic Map? Thematic Map Topics Thematic Map Making Features of Thematic Maps Thematic Map Types

Today, maps have evolved into tools that serve much greater purposes than simply providing us with direction, and they continue to evolve. We have access to countless maps for various purposes, such as mining, earthquake, fire, vegetation, or population analysis. But sometimes we need maps that illustrate multiple features. For example, we need to examine transportation networks, waterways, and fault lines. That's when GIS comes into play. If you're wondering what GIS means

For those who share their live 8-hour location with a friend before going on a date, those who use Foursquare or Apple location sharing, those who can't quite figure out where they are when using Google Maps, and those who forget to share their location on WhatsApp, this article is for you. Sometimes consciously, sometimes unconsciously, we use GPS everywhere to navigate, locate, and share our location. But do we know exactly what GPS is? Or how does it work? Frankly, it's a

Throughout human history, we have always sought a universe beyond the heavens, and we continue to do so. But we can't achieve this simply by observing from Earth. We must physically transcend the atmosphere and see the universe with our own eyes. While this isn't easy to achieve, we have developed vehicles that offer us various opportunities, and the space shuttle is one such example. So, what is a space shuttle, how does it work, what are its features, and when was it first

We all have things in life we want to see up close or with our own eyes. It might be a person, a pet, or a building. But I'd like to expand this list. Planets, stars, lurking enemies, or wild animals. Logically, most things we want to see are far away. However, there's an invention that can solve this problem: the telescope. Do you know how this device works in detail? If your answer is no, you're in the right place, because we'll be examining what a full-range telescope is,

Airplanes, giant metal hulks that take off in an average of 115,000 flights worldwide daily, seem to defy the laws of physics, just like ships. Essentially, both vehicles operate entirely according to the laws of physics, and that's how they find their place in our daily lives. We all know about the buoyancy of water, but when it comes to flying, things are different. How do these massive metal vehicles even get airborne when gravity prevents us from jumping too high and esca

In our country, the General Directorate of Civil Aviation (SHGM), the Presidency of Defense Industries (SSB) and the Chamber of Surveying and Cadastre Engineers of the Union of Chambers of Turkish Engineers and Architects define UAVs as aircrafts that can be remotely controlled without a pilot or that can fly autonomously, and that are formed by the combination of integrated systems. UAVs have revolutionized mapping and data collection in recent years. Especially when equipp
