Machine Control

Automated systems that use surveying data to guide heavy equipment in construction and earthmoving operations.

map projection

A mathematical method for representing the three-dimensional Earth's surface on a two-dimensional map.

Map Scale

The ratio between distances on a map and corresponding distances on the Earth's surface.

Marine Survey

A comprehensive inspection and measurement of ships, vessels, and maritime structures to ensure safety, compliance, and condition assessment.

Mean Sea Level

The average height of the ocean's surface used as a reference datum for measuring elevations and depths on Earth.

MEP Survey for BIM

A specialized surveying discipline that captures precise three-dimensional data of mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems for integration into Building Information Modeling environments.

Mercator Projection

A cylindrical map projection that represents the Earth's surface with parallel lines of latitude and longitude, preserving angles and directions for navigation purposes.

metes and bounds

A method of describing real property by identifying its perimeter using natural and artificial landmarks, directions, and distances.

miniprism

A small retroreflective prism used in surveying and measurement applications to reflect light signals back to their source.

mobile mapping

Mobile mapping is a surveying technology that uses GPS-equipped vehicles and portable sensors to rapidly collect geospatial data across large areas.

monitoring survey

A systematic and periodic measurement of physical features or conditions over time to detect changes, deformations, or movements in structures, land, or infrastructure.

monument

A permanent structure or marker established to identify, commemorate, or preserve a surveying point or historical boundary.

Multibeam Echo Sounder

A hydrographic surveying instrument that uses multiple acoustic beams to map the seafloor and water column simultaneously across a wide swath.

Multibeam Patch Test

A systematic calibration procedure used to verify and correct angular offsets between multibeam sonar systems and their reference frames in hydrographic surveying.

multibeam sonar

A sonar system that emits multiple acoustic beams simultaneously to map large underwater areas with high precision and efficiency.

multipath

A surveying phenomenon where electromagnetic signals reach a receiver via multiple reflected paths instead of a direct line-of-sight path.

multipath error mitigation

Techniques used to reduce errors in surveying measurements caused by signal reflections from nearby surfaces.
