the map and the in the field. This is to set the basic station for staking-out of the digitized
points.
The machine is taken into the field to Stake out all and one permanent vertices. In this
way only propriety plot details are to be shot in the field which are identified by the Land
owners of the village and are cross checked with the Chuminda Register.
A pilot project for the measurement in this way was conducted and the time taken to
complete the survey of these villages is less:-
Name of village Start of Survey End of Survey Khasra No.

During the downloading a tough impediment was faced by the department. Four Total
Station brands were being operated in the field. All the four ETS systems were having
their propriety data storing format. The data downloaded/copied onto the computer
through the PMCIA card or otherwise could only be read by a particular third party CAD
application, which was supplied by the Total Station vendors with these machines. In
addition, the data downloaded to form a map was in binary form and could not be
accessed by our engineers. The data was only useful to printout the hardcopies of Estate
Map through third party software application and in no way it could be integrated to form
Spatial non-Spatial Land Record database.
This was basically a business allied line followed by the ETS vendors which handicapped
us to proceed further in some important areas like integration.
A RND effort was perceived and an ASCII formatted data mask was developed for all the
Total Stations.
The ASCII downloaded data from all ETS brands was streamed to an in-house built
software called ETS data conversion
