Geomatics is a broad field of study that encompasses various disciplines dedicated to the study and representation of the Earth’s surface. These disciplines emerged throughout history out of the need to measure and accurately represent the world.
From ancient Egyptian and Greek civilizations, which used rudimentary tools for land measurement, to more recent times when methods were refined with instruments like the theodolite, these disciplines have evolved alongside technological advancements. Today, thanks to digitalization, the use of drones, 3D laser scanners, and satellites, geomatics has reached an unprecedented level of precision and applicability.
Application Fields of Geomatics Disciplines
The study of land, terrain, and its characteristics is applied in various sectors such as civil engineering, construction, mining, urban planning, and environmental management. These studies provide detailed terrain information for infrastructure design, environmental impact assessments, and project optimization. Additionally, technologies such as drones and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have significantly improved the collection and analysis of spatial data, making decision-making more efficient.
Although all these disciplines are related, each has its specific focus:
-
Photogrammetry is based on capturing images to obtain three-dimensional information about the terrain. In this field, Acero Estudio offers specialized drone photogrammetry services, providing an efficient and highly accurate alternative.
-
Topography measures and precisely represents the characteristics of a land surface in specific areas. If you need topographic surveying services, contact us—you will be amazed by our portfolio of completed topographic projects.
-
Geodesy studies the Earth’s shape and dimensions as a whole, allowing for the creation of geographic coordinate systems.
-
Cartography focuses on the visual representation of geospatial information through maps and plans.
