Applications of Camera Total Station System (CTSS) in the Construction Surveying

Engineering structures in general require at implementation conducting engineering surveys of the implementation stages of work to keep up with identical implementation of the technical specifications, on the other hand most of the facilities task (large structures, towers, dams, bridges, etc…) require the conducting of periodic monitoring to determine any change could happen with time in the three-dimension( X,Y,Z).The traditional approach in this proposal for this business is by conducting a field survey using ground surveying devices in addition to the photogrammetry survey, regardless of the manner of the work requires the provision of a number of well distributed ground control points for the purpose of the above required survey work. This research includes the application of(CTSS)system for a structural survey above as well as monitoring facilities disregarding the control points to provide cost, time and effort. The results using this technique(CTSS)are very promising (RMS in X= ±1.7 mm, Y= ±1.7 mm, Z= ±0.9 mm).which gives an overall precision of (RMS= ±2.6 mm)
