Lecture notes:
PTM (Philippine Transverse Mercator) Grid System = national coordinate system adopted by the
Philippines to give definite location of a ground point (whether it is a lot corner, traverse point, control point,
etc.) that is unique and most suitable to the locality of the Philippines.
Why so?
- Most of the land surveys in the past are less reliable because it was referred to location
monuments that have no geodetic positions and adjustments to basic control network.
- Also these location monuments were established by means of solar observations that in turn
were regarded to as being inaccurate due to variations of degree of precision.
That’s why&
- PTM Grid was adopted from the Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) to:
1. give coordinates suitable to our locality
2. made our maps to be cross-referenced conveniently and efficiently to other countries also
adopting UTM such as Australia, Germany, several states in US, etc.
PTM grid system adopted from the UTM Grid System for latitude 4 to 22 and longitude 117 to 125.

IV. Photogrammetry
I. Definition:
- involves obtaining information about an object indirectly, by measuring photographs taken of
the object.
- the science and art of obtaining reliable measurements by means of photography
Categories of Photogrammetry
1. Metrical Photogrammetry – involves all quantitative works, such as determination of ground
positions, distances, differences in elevation, areas and volumes
2. Interpretative Photogrammetry – involves photo-interpretation; photographs are analyzed
qualitatively for identifying objects and assessing their significance.
- relies on the human ability to assimilate and correlate such photographic elements as
sizes, shapes, patterns, tones, textures, colors, contrast and relative location.
Kinds of photographs
1. Vertical photographs – photographs taken where the optical axis of the camera is pointing
vertically downward
- nearly vertical
2. Tilted photos – tilt<= 30
3. Oblique photos – photos taken such that the optical axis of camera is deviated from the vertical
a. low oblique – low angle deviation from the vertical; does not include apparent horizon
b. high oblique – high angle deviation from the vertical; includes apparent horizon
4. Horizontal photographs – those which are taken with the optical axis of the camera horizontal
Where;
O = optical axis
f = focal length of camera
a’, b’, c’ and d’ = images of any two ground points in the same horizontal plane of the
photograph
A, B, C and D = corresponding ground points of the image
Hmsl = height above mean sea level
H, Hmge = flying height above mean ground elev
Ground plane = mean ground level whose elevation is (mge) mean ground elevation.
Θ = Angular field of view
Scale:
1. S = ab / AB = map distance / ground distance = f / H
2. using f and H : H = SP(f) ; where H = flying height above mean ground elevation
Sp = scale factor
f = focal length
S = 1/ H/f
SAMPLE PROBLEMS
1. A vertical photo was obtained using an aerial camera having a focal length of 350mm. The average
scale of photo is 1:2000. If the area photographed lies at an average height of 915 ft above sea level,
determine the flying height above sea level when the photo was taken.
Solution:
Focal length = 350 mm = 0.35 m
0.3048 m
mge = 915 ft x 278.89 m
1 ft
2. GE BRD July 2000: An aerial photogrammetry is undertaken at a flying height of 12000 ft above sea
level. The camera has a focal length of 8 ¼ <. Determine the scale of the photograph taken on a plane
which is 2000 ft above sea level.
Solution:
Hmge = Hmsl – mge
= 12,000 – 2000
= 1,000 ft
H
Since H = Spf, Sp =
F
10,000 ft 12 in
Sp = X
8.25 in 1 ft
3. A vertical photograph was taken using an aerial camera with focal length of 215 mm and the craft lies
at an altitude of 1550 m above mean sea level. If the scale is 1:5000, what would be the average
ground elevation of the area photographed?
Solution:
Hmge = Sp f
= (0.215) (5,000)
= 1075 m
Hmsl = Hmge + mge
Mge = 1, 550 – 1075
= 475 m
4. Points A and B on the ground measures 2350 m. If the corresponding distance on the photograph of
these two points is 21 cm, using an aerial camera having 150mm focal length. Determine the altitude
of the craft above mean ground elevation?
Solution:
Dg = Sp Dp
Dg
Sp =
Dp
2350 m
= Hmge = Sp f
0.21 m
= 11,190 (0.15 m)
= 11,190 = 1678.5 m
5. The distance between two known points on a vertical photograph is 67.5 mm. On a map of scale
1:30000, the equivalent distance is 51.5 mm. The average scale of photograph is:
Solution:
Dg = Sm Dm
= 30,000 90.0515)
= 1545 m
Dg = Sp D p
1545 = Sp 0.0675
Sp = 22,889 Therefore the scale is 1:22,889
θ = 2 tan-1 ( d / 2f )
IV. RELIEF DISPLACEMENT – occurs when the object being photographed is not at the elevation of mean
datum. This depends on the position of the point on the photograph and the elevation of the ground
point above or below mean datum.
Where;
d = displacement of the object image on the photograph due to relief
r = radial distance from the principal point due to the displaced image point ( or you can treat as radial
distance of the tip of the object )
h = height of the object photographed or the elevation above mean datum
H = flying height above datum
FORMULA:
d = rh / H
SAMPLE PROBLEMS
1. An image of a hill is 3.5 inches from the center of the photograph. The elevation of the hill is 2000 ft.
and the flight altitude is 14000 ft with respect to the same datum level. How much is the image
displaced because of the elevation of the hill?
Solution:
rh
d=
H
d = 0.5 in
Where in:
o1a1 // o2a1’ and o1b1 // o2b1’
Parallax differences between one point and another are caused by different elevations of the two
points.
Parallax of pt. A: PA = BC/ (H-HA) Equation 1
Parallax of pt. B: PB = BC/(H-HB) Equation 2
∆HAB = HB - HA
From equation 1:
H – HA = BC / PA

SURVEY PLANS
(Isolated and Subdivision)
Guidelines:
10. Lot corners are small circles 2 mm in diameter drawn in black ink. Corners are numbered clockwise.
Numbers are inside the lot. Boundary lines don’t pass through the small circle.
Note: The diameters of the circles are drawn so as to emphasize that the lines don’t pass through the
circles.
11. The description of each corner as marked on the ground is written preferably at the bottom left
corner of the map. If this space is crowded, it is written in any open space.
Ex. All corners marked PS are cyl. conc. mons. 15 x 40 cm.
(cyl. conc. mons. = cylindrical concrete monuments, 15 cm diameter, 40 cm high)
12. Boundary lines are full black lines heavier than those of adjoining properties. Bearing and distance of
each line are in black ink and may be written in either of the following methods:
a) Bearing and distance along boundary line (inside the lot)
b) Tabulated bearings and distances (when features and distances are too numerous and
bearings and distances written along boundary lines, will make the map crowded).
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
The above table is usually placed in the upper left-hand corner of the map. If this space is
crowded, the right-hand corner may be used.
13. A point of reference has known geographic coordinates: latitude and longitude . Its Northing and
Easting may be true or assumed. A point of reference may be a triangulation station or Bureau of
Lands Location Monument (BLLM). This point is not shown on the map simply because it is far from
the area surveyed.
A tie line is a line joining the point of reference and corner 1 of the lot.
There are two methods to write the description of the point of reference and the bearing and
distance of the tie line:
a. Tabulated
N4836’E 2989.44 M
LM 101 is the name of the point of reference. It is located in Tala estate. This table is added to the
Technical Description of the lot.
14. Boundaries between adjoining surveyed properties are indicated by broken lines. Owner’s name and
BL Survey number are also indicated.
15. All important features and improvements (ex. Streams, rivers, bridges, roads) are drawn true to scale,
in black ink (without color) and represented by standard mapping symbols.
Width of roads and rivers are indicted. Direction of the flow of water on a river is indicated by
an arrow with the arrowhead in the direction of the flow.
16. Lettering must be simple, uniform and mechanical. Use of a lettering machine is imperative.
17. Lot numbers, corner numbers, notes, titles, etc. are drawn parallel to the horizontal axis of the map.
Names of rivers, roads, bridges and the like follow the shape of the feature.
Sometimes, names of adjoining owners follow the shape of the lot.
18. The central orthogonal axes and the coordinates of the center are drawn in red ink. Ncenter is drawn
slightly above the horizontal axis near the left edge of the map. Ecenter is drawn slightly to the left of
the vertical axis near the lower edge of the map. Ecenter is drawn vertically.
Plans are drawn on the authorized BL form having the following dimensions:
You may use the BL form or a whole sheet of tracing paper. If you choose the latter, use the above
dimensions. Write name, exercise number and instructor’s name outside the border of the map.
19. If a lot is subdivided into several lots, the subdivided lots will be designated as A, B, C. etc.
Ex. Lot 1228 is subdivided into 3 lots, namely Lot1228-A, Lot 1228-B and Lot 1228-C.
20. The boundary, as in isolated surveys, has a Technical Description. In addition, each subdivided lot has
its own description.
Tie lines are observed/computed to corner 1 of the boundary and each of the subdivided lot.

For boundary:
Numbers are drawn clockwise outside the boundary and in red ink.
22. Area of each subdivided lots must be indicated inside the lot. This area is not necessarily a whole
number.
A= 1493.96 A= 1056.72
sq. m. sq. m.
If LAT b 0, distribute correction to the longest line, the next longest line, etc.
If DEP b 0, do the same
(eg. A 0.01 m. correction is distributed to one line; a 0.02 m. correction is distributed to 2 lines equally,
0.01 m. each, etc.
3. Beginning from the Reference Point, add the adjusted LAT and DEP to compute for the
coordinates (Northing and Easting) of each corner.
(N2, E2)
Ex.
(N3, E3)
N2 is Nhighest
(N1, E1)
N5 is Nlowest
E4 is Ehighest
(N5, E5)
(N4, E4)
Determine the appropriate map scale based on the following table. This table has been designed
using the size of a standard B.L. form.
2 2
Ncenter and Ecenter are the coordinates of the center of the map, each rounded off to the nearest whole
number.
Where
Ni = Northing of corner i
Ei = Easting of corner i
Ni = Distance of corner i along the vertical axis from the center
Ei = Distance of corner i along the horizontal axis from the center
Objective: To ensure the unambiguous identification of all the labeled map features.

Definition:
- Any system of representing the parallels and meridians on a plane surface.
- A device for producing all or part of a round body on a flat surface.
1. AREA- many map projections are designed to be equal area, that is, one part on the map covers
exactly the same area of the actual earth.
- shapes, angles and scales must be distorted on most parts
- other terms for equal area: EQUIVALENT, HOMOLOGRAPHIC, HOMALOGRAPHIC,
AUTHALIC, EQUIAREAL
2. SHAPE- normally, the shape of every small feature of the map is shown correctly
- On a conformal map, there are usually one or more <singular= points at which the shape is
still distorted.
- Relative angles at each point are correct and the local scale in every direction around any
one point is constant.
- Meridians intersect parallels at 90°, just as they do on earth
3. SCALE-
EQUIDISTANCE- scale between one or two points and every point on the map, or along every
meridian, is shown correctly.
- No map projection show scales correctly throughout the map, but there usually one or
more lines on the map along which the scale remains true.
4. DIRECTION-
AZIMUTHAL or ZENITHAL- directions or azimuths of all points on the map are shown correctly with
respect to the center.
5. SPECIAL CHARACTERISTICS
a. Mercator Projection- all rhumblines (lines of constant direction are shown as straight lines
b. Gnomonic Projection- all great circle path, orthodrome or geodesic (shortest route between points
on a sphere) are shown as straight lines.
c. Stereographic- all small circles, as wellas great circles, are shown as circles on the map.
a. CYLINDER – If wrapped around the globe representing the earth, so that its surface touches the
equator throughout its circumference, the meridians of longitude may be projected on to the
cylinder as equidistant straight lines perpendicular to the equator.
- Parallels of latitude marked as lines parallel to the equator
- CYLINDRICAL PROJECTION
b. CONE – (CONICAL PROJECTION)
- Cone is tangent to the surface of the earth, touching the globe at some particular parallel
of latitude.
c. PLANE – a plane tangent to one of the earth’s poles is the basis for polar azimuthal projection.
- Reference Ellipsoid: CLARKE SPHEROID OF 1866
- Equatorial radius, a = 6,378,206.4m
- Polar radius, b = 6,356,583.8m
- Flattening, f = 1/294.98
7. SIMPLE CYLINDRICAL
- If the equator is made of standard parallel, true to scale and free of distortion, the
meridians are spaced at the same distances as the parallels, and the graticules appear as
squares.
- Aphylactic
- Meridians and parallels are equidistant straight lies, intersecting at right angles
- Poles are shown as lines
- Used in spherical form
4. POLYCONIC PROJECTION
- Curvature of the circular arc for each of the parallel on the map is the same as it would be
following the unrolling of a cone which had wrapped around the globe tangent to the
particular parallel of latitude, with the parallel traced onto the cone.
- Instead of a single cone, a series of conical surfaces may be used.
- For the sphere, each parallel has a radius proportional to the cotangent of latitude
- Aphylactic
- Parallels of latitude (except for equator) are arcs of circles but are not concentric
- Central meridian and equator are straight lines; all other meridians are complex curves
- Scale is true along each parallel and along the central meridian, but no parallel is
<standard.=
- Free of distortion only along the central meridian.
AZIMUTHAL PROJECTIONS
- Formed onto a plane which is usually tangent to the globe at either pole, the equator, or
any intermediate point. Directions of azimuth, from the center of the projection to every
other point on the map is shown correctly.
1. ORTHOGRAPHIC – A true perspective, in which the earth is projected from an infinite distance
onto a plane. The map looks like a globe, thus stressing the roundness of the earth.
- All meridians and parallels are ellipses, circles, or straight lines
- Aphylactic
- Center is distortion free; much distortion near the edge of hemisphere shown.
- Directions from the center are true.
2. STEREOGRAPHIC – True perspective in the spherical form, with the point of perspective on the
surface of the sphere at a point exactly opposite the point of tangency for the plane, or opposite
the center of projection.
- Conformal
- Central meridian and a particular parallel (if shown) are straight lines.
- All meridians on the polar aspect and the equatorial aspect are straight lines.
- All other meridians are arc of circles.
- Directions from the center of projection are true.
- Scale increase away from the center of projection.
3. GNOMONIC – True perspective, with the earth projected from the center onto the tangent plane.
- All great circles, not merely those passing through the center, are shown as straight lines
on spherical form
- Also called <central projection=
