This Volume is continuation with Volume I, and deals with advanced topics of plane and Geodetic Surveying. The book contains sixteen chapters, including four chapters on Field Astronomy, Photogrammetric Surveying, Electro-Magnetic Distance Measurement (EDM) and Remote Sensing. Along with conventional instruments, the book also contains illustrations and descriptions of the most modern and advanced measuring instruments such as Wild T-2, T-3 and T-4 theodolites, Electronic theodolites, Distomats and Total Station. Each topic has been thoroughly described, the theory is rigorously developed and a large number of numerical examples have been included to illustrate its application. The book also contains advanced problems useful for competetive examinations.
