Using Total Stations for Indoor Radiation Mapping |
|
A total station can be used for many applications. Oak Ridge Associated Universities (USA) uses a total station for indoor radiation characterisation, which enables the team to better perform environmental assessments. This video shows how it is done.

Tao and Li’s book describes the latest research and developments in the fast-moving area of mobile mapping technology, which allows geospatial data to be gathered by mapping sensors mounted on mobile platforms. These platforms include satellites, aircraft, road vehicles and ships; while the newest portable sensors may simply be carried by an individual. Advances in telecommunication networks and the ready availability of low-cost, portable sensors, means that mobile mapping has become highly dynamic, and even pervasive. Furthermore, facilities such as internet mapping have opened up the possibility of multi-platform, integrated technologies, initiating an exciting new trend towards rapid geospatial data acquisition.
