Application of MATLAB in surveying

The article introduced the MATLAB characteristics and advantage in brief. And according to the characteristics of surveying data, concrete application of MATLAB in surveying is introduced,such as data processing , GIS ,drawing contour remote sensing image processing; The strong numerical calculation of the MATLAB is applied to surveying. The article points out using MATLAB to process data in surveying needs layout, analysis, coding and testing etc. Bringing the MATLAB to surveying can carry out data processing very expediently. easing the request on program designer and displaying the progeny.
