summarized account
Surveying and mapping science and technology studies the collection, storage, processing, analysis, management, transmission, expression, distribution and application of spatial-temporal information related to the earth as well as the other entities and phenomena. The discipline of surveying and mapping gives full play to technical advantages and R&D capacities in various fields such as GIS basic platform research and development, GIS system architecture design, spatial database, digital geoscience simulation and metallogenic prediction, remote sensing engineering application technology, Web services, and geoscience high-performance computing. The discipline was graded B and ranked in the top 30% in the fourth round of national discipline assessment organized by the Ministry of Education.
Engaged in the first-level discipline of surveying and mapping science and technology, there are 59 teachers in total, including 14 with senior titles and 33 with senior vice titles. Master's degree program in remote sensing geology was approved in 1996. The doctoral program of the second-level discipline in cartography and geographic information engineering was approved in 1997. The two master's degree programs of the second-level disciplines in photogrammetry and remote sensing, and in geodesy and surveying engineering were approved in 1998. The doctoral program of the first-level discipline in surveying and mapping science and technology was approved in 2010, and its mobile post-doctoral station was qualified the year before. In the 2013, the discipline was evaluated as the key discipline of Hubei province, and the National Research Center of Geographic Information System Engineering Technology was approved and established. The research center has independently developed the domestic geographic information system support software, with international leading level. It has been ranked among the top in the basic research and engineering application of geographic information in China, especially in the research and application of three-dimensional integrated GIS in the air, ground and underground space. The discipline of surveying and mapping mainly include the following four characteristic subdisciplines.
(1) Geodesy and Precision Engineering Survey
In this subdiscipline, the shapes and external gravity fields of the earth and the neighboring stars are studied. The positions of the spatial points are precisely determined. Attention is also paid to the technologies of layout survey and deformation monitoring with municipal construction, and the planning of resources and environment.
(2) Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing of Resources and Environment
This subdiscipline employs the sensor from space, air and ground to obtain imaging or non-imaging information about the earth's surface and environment. It also refers to the science and technology of obtaining, recording, measuring, interpreting, expression and applications of the above information.
(3) Cartography and Geographic Information Engineering
This subdiscipline mainly focuses on design and manufacture of the maps, and also on the theory, method and technology of developing and establishing geographic information system. According to the requirements of the application, it studies how to scientifically, abstractly and broadly reflect the space distribution, interconnected, spatial relationships and its dynamic change of various phenomena in both nature and human society. Based on the acquisition, intelligent abstraction, storage, management, analysis, processing and visualization of spatial geographical information, the corresponding geographic information system are established. The information of spatial geographical environment is transmitted through digital, graphics and image.It not only provides a platform for various applications and geoscience analysis, but also provides accurate digital map data, spatial geographical information and related technical supports.
(4) Navigation, Positioning and Spatial Location Services
This subdiscipline is to determine the position, velocity and time of the objects, as well as their correlation, in a unified space-time reference, and to provide location related service with the above information. Its application involves various aspects of national security and social economy, playing a decisive and indispensable role in the new generation of information technology and its strategic emerging industries. It also plays an important fundamental supporting role in the fields of intelligent weapons, Internet of things, smart earth, energy saving, emission reduction, disaster relief and disaster reduction.
