Summary
Editor's review
From an editor's professional perspective, the book's greatest highlight is its clear "theory-method-practice" logical framework. It first consolidates the foundation of basic surveying theories and error processing, then explains in detail the working principles and operational methods of mainstream data acquisition equipment such as total stations and GPS-RTK, and finally elaborates on the core workflow and quality control of digital mapping based on AutoCAD, CASS, and GIS software. This arrangement ensures that readers not only master "how to operate" but also understand "why to operate this way," cultivating the thinking ability to solve complex practical engineering problems.
For the current industry, digital transformation is an inevitable trend. The book's content on digital mapping standards, coding systems, and results archiving management is precisely the key bridge connecting traditional surveying and mapping results with new application needs such as smart cities and the "one map" of natural resource management. Its content is rigorous, cases are detailed, and charts are abundant. It can serve as an excellent textbook for university undergraduates and graduate students, and also as a practical reference for engineers in the surveying and mapping geographic information industry to update their knowledge systems and respond to technological change. Overall, this is a professional work with solid content, close alignment with the times, and excellent teaching and application value.
Who it's for
A good fit for
- Senior undergraduates or graduate students majoring in surveying and mapping engineering, geographic information science, civil engineering, and related fields
- Engineering technicians and management personnel working on the front lines of engineering surveying, cadastral surveying, topographic mapping, and similar work
- Industry beginners who wish to systematically understand and master the complete workflow from field data acquisition to in-office digital mapping
- Traditional surveying practitioners who need to update their knowledge base and learn to integrate emerging technologies (such as UAV surveying)
Not a good fit for
- General readers with only a superficial interest in surveying and no basic knowledge of mathematics or engineering
- Pure GIS developers seeking in-depth advanced programming or development tutorials for a specific single software (such as ArcGIS)
Reading tips
- It is recommended to read in chapter order, especially valuing the early sections on surveying fundamentals and error theory, which are the cornerstone for understanding all subsequent digital workflows.
- Combine the experiments and cases in the book, and ideally practice simultaneously in actual or simulated surveying projects to transform theoretical knowledge into operational skills.
- Pay attention to the exercises and discussion questions at the end of each chapter while reading; they help consolidate core concepts and guide in-depth reflection on key technical difficulties.

About the author
Feng Dafu is a Chinese book author about whom relatively limited public information is available. The library currently holds two of his works, Digital Mapping (4th Edition) and Digital Mapping (3rd Edition), both of which focus on the professional field of digital mapping. They are commonly classified under exam preparation, suggesting that his writing emphasizes a systematic treatment of knowledge and skills related to surveying and digital mapping for teaching and exam-preparation purposes. Based on the available information, Feng Dafu's works are mainly textbooks or exam-preparation books that combine professional fundamentals with practical application, and the updated editions reflect an effort to revise the content continually and keep pace with technological developments. Although details such as his nationality, dates of birth and death, education, and career history remain unclear and public information is limited, his writing direction is fairly clear: the books are aimed at students in surveying and mapping disciplines and readers preparing for related examinations, offering structured learning materials on the specific topic of digital mapping.
Wu Jiye is a Chinese book author about whom very limited public information is available; details such as nationality, dates of birth and death, education, and professional career are not clearly recorded. Two of the author's works are currently held in the database, both being different editions of Digital Mapping, namely the 4th edition and the 3rd edition. This suggests that the author's writing centers on the professional field of surveying and mapping, specifically digital mapping, and that the content is textbook- or exam-preparation-oriented, commonly classified under examinations. It can therefore be inferred that these works are intended for students and practitioners preparing for relevant examinations or studying digital mapping courses, with an emphasis on the systematic organization of knowledge points and practical application, and with revised editions updated to meet teaching and examination needs. Beyond this information about the works, no further verifiable background or writing career details are available.
