The International Federation of Surveyors has member associations and other 

members in nearly 100 countries. These associations represent more than 230,000 

surveying professionals. Founded in 1878 and officially recognized as a nongovernmental 

organization (NGO) by the United Nations, its administration is 

undertaken by a member country for a four-year period. In 1999, the American 

Congress on Surveying and Mapping (ACSM) assumed this responsibility.

Congress Prize 

Congratulations to George Oner Ogalo, Kenya 

for winning the FIG Congress Prize for his paper 

GPS in Cadastres: A Case Study of Kenya 

A cadastre is a parcel based up-to-date register of interest in land. It 

usually includes a geometric description of land parcels linked to other 

records describing the nature of interests and ownership of control. 

Kenya practices a legal cadastre, which is a state register containing 

information about land parcels. This is supported by a detailed 

description of the parcel either in the form of Registry Index Maps (RIM) 

under RLA or Deed Plans under RTA. The index maps or deed plans 

are the end products of cadastral surveys. This paper is being presented 

Wednesday, April 24, 4:00 pm, in the Surveying & Geodesy: 

GPS Land Survey session in the Harding Room. See page 29. 

Exhibit Hall Opens at 12:30 pm

HOW THINGS WORK 



8:30 am – 5:30 pm 

PDH Hours: 7.5 

FL CEP: 032 131 

Course Level : Introductory 

The workshop will be a series of presentations covering the basic elements 

of surveying technology. The thrust of the presentations will be 

"How things work." The objective of the workshop is to introduce the 

surveyor to the basic design and configuration of various parts of technology 

of commonly used surveying systems. The purpose of this introduction 

is to help the surveyor better understand how to maximize performance, 

be it accuracy, speed, economy, etc. by understanding the 

capabilities and limitations of the technology being used. Each session 

will be 30 minutes, therefore the lectures and demonstrations will be 

introductory. Written course notes will be distributed to participants; 

where necessary, demonstrations, displays of component parts and 

graphical representations will be used to illustrate the presentations. 

Instructors: Representatives from the Geomatics Industry Association 

of America (GIAA)

MAPPING AND GIS WITH GPS 

Room: Balcony C 


This is also offered Sunday, April 21 

8:30 am – 3:30 pm 

PDH Hours: 6 

FL CEP: 032 134 



This course will utilize GPS to collect feature and attribute data for transfer 

to a Geographic Information System. The course will show the participant 

how to create a data dictionary from scratch or from Shape files. 

The created dictionary will be taken into the field to collect point, line and 

area data. Data will be collected in real-time and for post-processing. 

This is a hands-on course in which the participants will be collecting the 

data. The collected data will be corrected if necessary and displayed in 

the classroom. Collected data will be transferred to a GIS for further display. 

Files will then be sent back to the receiver and to the field for data 

maintenance. 

This course is designed for GIS professionals as well as other surveying 

and mapping professionals

Saturday • Half-Day Afternoon Workshops 

ADJUSTMENT OF SURVEYING ERRORS 

BY LEAST SQUARES 



1:30 pm – 5:30 pm 

PDH Hours: 4 

FL CEP: 032 54 

Course Level: Advanced 

In the collection of surveying measurements, after care is taken to discover 

and remove the effects of mistakes and systematic errors, irregularities 

usually remain in harmonizing the observed measurements with 

known geometrical conditions. Simple rule-driven adjustment methods 

yield conflicting results when used with interconnected level loops and 

traverses, and unpredictably degrade the quality of the observed measurements. 

The geographically larger, geometrically more complicated 

surveys of increasing precision possible with modern survey equipment 

and methods require adjustment techniques that are theoretically based, 

and capable of simultaneous consideration of all observations. Least 

squares routines have long been known to be based on a solid theoretical 

foundation for the analysis and adjustment of random errors, but 

have never been easy to perform. This workshop seeks to furnish theoretical 

understanding and demonstrate computer-aided application to 

common survey types including level networks, horizontal survey measurement 

networks, and GPS baseline networks. The textbook for this 

workshop is Adjustment Computations: Statistics and Least Squares in 

Surveying and GIS. Participants in this workshop should have attend the 

workshop "Surveying Errors and their Analysis." 

Intended Audience: This workshop has been presented at several 

state conferences around the United States and appeals to practicing 

professional surveyors who are involved in management and adjustment 

of surveying measurements.

ORTHOPHOTOGRAPHY 

Room: Maryland B/C 


8:30 am – 12:30 pm 

PDH Hours: 4 

FL CEP: 032 5 


An orthophoto is an aerial image that has been rectified in such a way that 

it is made to possess characteristics of a line map. The rectification process 

is performed by combining photogrametric principles with digital elevation 

models (DEM) data. Orthophotos have been used for many years by a 

diverse group of users. Recently, orthophotos have been re-discovered by 

GIS/LIS users and are rapidly becoming a leading form of base maps. 

This seminar will explore how orthophotos are made, accuracy and quality 

aspects of this data, advantages and disadvantages. A discussion on the 

role of surveyors in compiling this form of spatial data will also be included.

TRACKING THE RAILROADS 



8:30 am - 12:30 pm 

PDH Hours: 4 

FL CEP: 032 145 


Railroads have played a major part in the settlement and development of 

the United States. The importance of these bands of steel uniting the 

country was underscored by the powers granted to railroad companies 

to acquire land rights in whatever way necessary, whether by grant, in 

fee, or as easements. Surveyors involved with the original location and 

layout of the rails had a much easier time of it than we do today, as we 

try to recreate not only original configuration of rails and parcels, but also 

what kinds of rights the railroad companies may have had in the land 

beneath their tracks. We will discuss historical, legal, and practical 

aspects of the problems we face today as we unravel the railroad puzzle. 

This session will be of interest to surveyors, planners, and right of 

way professionals.

CORONA WORKSHOP 



1:30 pm – 5:30 pm 

PDH Hours: 4 

FL CEP: 032 137 


CORONA was the US government spy satellite program that gave birth 

to remote sensing. Founded in deep secrecy in 1958, and operative from 

1960 to 1972, this extraordinary space-based reconnaissance program, 

its imagery and technical specifications were declassified by Executive 

order in 1995. Since then, scholars have been carefully working through 

the archives, assembling a first open picture of the program’s many 

achievements and challenges. In this workshop, we will present the 

technical characteristics of the whole CORONA system, its origins, 

issues, organizations and the many technical accomplishments. It is evident 

that many of the organizational consequences of the CORONA program 

helped to establish the contemporary world of intelligence from 

overhead reconnaissance, forged in periods of change and controversy. 

Not the least of the accomplishments of CORONA were the complete 

overhaul of the world’s geodetic models and control, the small scale 

mapping of most of the earth’s surface, and the first detailed satellite 

mosaic of an entire continent.

There are a number of existing, as well as planned, imaging and other sensing 

systems that are specifically designed for surface data generation. These include 

high-resolution satellite imagery, interferometric SAR, Lidar, as well as others. 

Surface extraction based on softcopy photogrammetric technology requires digital 

imagery as a primary input. Although the source data is usually in the form of 

scanned aerial photography, the other acquisition technologies need to be examined 

in terms of higher accuracy as well as cost effectiveness. 

This workshop tutorial aims at providing a comprehensive understanding of the 

technology, accuracy, and performance of various imagery alternatives available 

for surface data generation. In addition, the tutorial will examine the economic viability 

and cost effectiveness of such data against film-based photography for surface 

data generation. These alternatives are such as Lidar, high-resolution satellite 

imagery, in-house scanning of aerial photography, and outsourcing scanning 

needs. The analysis is applied with a specific set of variables, assumptions, and 

a forecasting risk that is within acceptable limits.

This workshop will build on concepts of geodesy as related to geometry of the 

ellipsoid, level surfaces, and datums to show how spatial data for a GIS can be referenced 

in a common 3-D spatial data model whether the data are collected with 

GPS, by traditional total station surveying, or by photogrammetric mapping operations. 

Attributes of the Global Spatial Data Model (GSDM) will be described and 

spatial data accuracy as defined by the GSDM will be discussed. The session will 

close with questions about possible standardizations of procedures between disciplines 

for collecting, manipulating, storing, and using spatial information and for

PDH Hours: 8 

CEUs: .8 

Dr. Raad A. Saleh, S&J International 

Automation has become a driving force in end-to-end softcopy production of digital 

elevation models and other surface data. The primary data are digital or film-based 

imagery. In film-based methods, accuracy specification of elevation data has been 

well understood, such as through the C-Factor of the production system. This 

workshop addresses accuracy specifications of surface data produced in the endto-end 

softcopy photogrammetric environment. Such an environment requires that 

new factors be accounted for, such as scanning resolution, automated collection 

techniques, and image acquisition systems. The workshop will include substantial 

discussion on the accuracy of other technologies for surface data, such as Lidar.

Room: Balcony A 

1:30 pm - 5:30 pm 

PDH Hours: 4 

CEUs: .4 

Dr. John G. Lyon, US Environmental Protection Agency 

In identifying and characterizing wetland and adjacent features, the use of remote 

sensor and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technologies has been valuable. 

Remote sensors such as photographs and computer-sensor generated 

images can illustrate conditions of hydrology, extent, change over time, and 

impact of events such as hurricanes and tornados. Information derived from 

remote sensors can be stored in map or spatial form and used in a GIS or CADD 

system for measurements and for modeling. The technologies can also be used 

to evaluate adjacent non-wetland resources and determine how best to manage 

the resource. This presentation will show how remote sensing and GIS research 

can help to characterize wetlands.

Special Session: A Model Curriculum for 

Remote Sensing Education 


Moderator: Pam Lawhead, University of Mississippi, USA 

The Center For GeoSpatial Workforce Development invites discussion 

of its Model Curriculum in Remote Sensing. The curriculum has been 

developed by an invited panel of ASPRS members and is organized 

into areas and by courses. It provides an ordering for the courses and 

a list of prerequisites for each course. Currently there are full 

descriptions for ten of the courses. The goal of the committee was to 

provide an outline of courses in Remote Sensing that could be used as 

the basis for the creation of approximately 50 online courses. The 

courses will be created by "course creation fellows" who will be offered 

stipends of $80,000 to provide full content for a course and to guide 

technology experts in their efforts to host enhanced versions of each 

course. A workshop will be held at the University of Mississippi in June 

to select fellows to write the first ten courses.

Forecast Phase 2 Review 

Room: Coolidge 

Moderators: Charles Mondello and Ronald Rabin, USA 

NASA and ASPRS have formed a Space Act Agreement (SAA) to 

develop an industry forecast for the Remote Sensing Market place. 

While many projections have been made over time, this is a forecast 

developed and carried out by members of our industry. This places 

significant credibility on the study results. The study in its second of 

five years has carried forward its phase one results to the industry. 

The first year was a baseline of the industry. This showed direction, 

size and key concerns within remote sensing. The SAA was 

performed via survey, corporate management interview, and 

literature review. Phase two of the SAA focuses on the end user. 

While we will continue with the direct survey and literature efforts, 

focus groups have been added to the activity. The ASPRS 

presentation will summarize the results to date of End User 

requirements, capabilities and needs.

Applications: Challenges for the Mapping Profession 


Sponsored by the ASPRS Geographic Information Systems Division 

(GISD) 

Moderator: John A. Kelmelis, USGS 

The United States Geological Survey (USGS) produces topographic 

and thematic maps and data of the United States and other areas as 

required. These have proved invaluable to economic development, 

natural resource and environmental management, disaster planning 

and response, and other health and well being issues. Once over 

topographic coverage of conterminous US and Hawaii was achieved 

in 1992, after which horizontal integration of individual layers became 

the priority. Now, vertical integration and feature-based updates share 

priority with monitoring activities such as Landsat 5 and 7 and analysis 

of the causes and effects of changes on the land surface. Together 

the Cooperative Topographic Mapping, Land Remote Sensing, and 

Geographic Analysis and Monitoring Programs result in USGS’ vision 

of a dynamic evolving current National Map.

Lidar Sensors 


Moderator: Martin Flood, Airborne 1 Corporation 

By capturing the full return waveform, detailed information on the entire 

vertical structure within the laser footprint is obtained and ground 

topography can be detected even with canopy openings of only a few 

percent. Airborne test beds incorporating this technique such as 

NASA's Laser Vegetation Imaging Sensor (LVIS) or Scanning Laser 

Imaging of Canopy by Echo Recovery (SLICER) have successfully 

flown in preparation for future satellite-based Lidar missions such as 

the Vegetation Canopy Lidar mission (VCL) and the Geosciences Laser 

Altimeter (GLAS). The panel of government and industry experts will 

present an overview of waveform capture Lidar methods and results 

and a comparison of strengths and weaknesses vs. time-of-flight 

sensors. Scientific and commercial applications and target markets 

will be discussed.

Integrating High Resolution Imagery into Geospatial Projects 

With the availability of new high-resolution sensor data, coinciding with 

an explosion in demand for geospatial information, imagery and GIS 

vectors are approaching common ground in resolution and accuracy. 

The need for accurate, geometrically-corrected and ortho-corrected 

imagery has never been more acute. 

PCI Geomatics presents a half-day workshop examining all aspects of 

integrating high-resolution imagery into geospatial projects. The 

discussion will include an overview of new high-resolution sensors (such 

as IKONOS, QuickBird, and more); where to get data, and how to use it 

— cost-effectively; and related data-processing concerns (accuracy, 

classification methods, data quality, and data management). 

During this hands-on session, participants will use PCI Geomatics' 

GeomaticaT OrthoEngine® software to orthorectify imagery, create 

DEMs from stereo image pairs, explore 3D-feature extraction, and 

produce seamless mosaics. 

If you would like to register for PCI Geomatics' Workshop, please visit us 

at Booth #707.

The FIG Foundation — 

building a sustainable future 

The FIG Foundation is an independent body under the 

Inter-national Federation of Surveyors. The purpose of the 

Foundation is the funding of educational and capacity 

building projects and scholarships. Throughout the 120 

years of its existence, FIG has experienced a shortage of 

funds to finance educational projects, even though 

education is vital to the surveying profession and is relevant 

to all members of FIG. 

Specifically, the objects for which the Foundation is 

established are: 

• To give grants and scholarships to projects, for instance 

to develop curricula for surveying education and capacity 

building, especially in developing countries; 

• To promote high standards of education and training for 

surveyors and to facilitate continuing professional 

development; 

• To educate people in the disciplines of surveying, 

particularly in developing countries and countries in 

transition; 

• To promote virtual academies and the use of distance 

learning in surveying education; 

• To support by seed funding conferences and similar 

events in co-operation with international agencies such 

as the United Nations. 

You are invited to make a contribution to the valuable work 

of the FIG Foundation in conjunction with the FIG Congress 

2002 by either: 

• making a voluntary donation — US$ 25, 50 or 100 — to 

the Foundation when registering for the Congress — just 

drop off a check at the registration counters or 

• by attending the FIG Foundation Dinner to be held on 

Monday 22 April 2002 — tickets US$150. Jack 

Dangermond, President and Founder of ESRI, has 

graciously agreed to be the Honorary Chairman of the 

FIG Foundation fundraising campaign and will be the 

featured speaker at the dinner.
