Topography

If we look back into history, the origins of topography come from ancient Greece, meaning (topos-place and graphia-writing), afterwards being continued and developed in ancient Rome.

Topography is a separate study of geosciences which deals with the outlines and characteristics of the ground surface. Usually, all these particularities are included and reflected within the detailed descriptions or their including on the topography maps. The field of research of topography includes not just plain natural relief, but also viewing artificial features, and even analysis of local history and culture. Generally speaking, the modern understanding of the principle objective of topography is mapping of terrain relief landforms, which are frequently in three-dimensional modality. The nowadays techniques of the reflection of the elevation data include the following procedures, such as: digital form representation, hypsometric tints, scales of dimensions, relief shading and contour lines. The essential technical objective of topography is the determination of every point on the territory under the interest together with including on the map of such characteristics, like: coordinate system, latitude, longitude and altitude. The tasks which lead to topography survey can be various: geological exploration, military purposes, terrain planning, design of inhabited and industrial areas, civil engineering, public works, public or private projects and construction. There more methods of the implementation of the studies of topography, while the techniques which can be applied depend upon more factors of nature, the accessibility of the area, the size and scale of land etc. On the other hand, here is the point to outline, that in case it is very difficult or impossible to reach to the terrain under study, there can be used the remote method of topography. It is worth to enumerate the modes and types of topographic data, which include: raw survey data, remote sensing data, topographic mapping, digital elevation modelling and topological modelling.
