Abstract

There are no doubts in the importance and value of papers describing latest research with newest methods in the surveying world, but it seems to the author that it is also of great importance to present, via a number of articles, reports on innovative works with new tools or new methods conducted in the country by Iranian experts and published in the surveying scientific and technical publications of the of the country, though with the possibility that what is said in such articles be old or ordinary compared with international achievements in the field.
The review of prominent world surveying publications, especially multidisciplinary publications that represent the overall gamut of mapping techniques, suggests that part of the papers presented are dedicated to introduction of applied experiments. An expert or a group of mapping experts, after carrying out a routine case of surveying in a particular fashion that they believed had been effective in shortening the time needed to achieve the objectives of the plan or economizing it, exposed the results and experiences through an article to other researchers' view. Although the mathematical aspect of the article might be less significant than specialized geodetic or photogrammetric papers, it is nonetheless of significance as a presentation of a particular experience.
