1.3.3 Origin of Geomatics测绘的起源Geomatics is a relatively new scientific term created by Pollock and Wright in 1969, with the intention of combining the terms geodesy and geoinformatics. It includes the tools and techniques used in surveying and mapping, Remote Sensing (RS), Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), cartography, photogrammetry, geography, geosciences, computer sciences and various spatial observation technologies, land development and the environmental sciences, etc.测绘学是一个相对比较新的科学术语，它是1969年波洛克和赖特为了结合测地学和地理信息技术而创造的。它包含的工具和技术应用于测绘学好，遥感，地理信息系统，全球导航系统，制图学，摄影测量学，地理学，地球科学，计算机科学与各种空间观测技术，土地开发与环境科学，等等。The term was originally used in Canada, and now it has been adopted by the International Organization for Standardization, the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors and many other international authorities. Although some (especially in the United States )authorities have shown a preference for the term geospatial technology, the rapid progress of Geomatics has been made possible by advances in computer hardware, computer science, and software engineering, as well as airborne and space observation remote sensing technologies since 1990s.这个术语最初用于加拿大，现在他被国际标准化组织，皇家特许测绘师协会和很多国际权威所使用。尽管一些机构（尤其是在美国的）表现出倾向于地理空间技术，但高速发展的测绘可能基于计算机硬件，计算机科学和软件工程的发展，同样自90年代起，航天航空遥感技术也得到了发展。Aworking definition of Geomatics is the science and technology of acquiring, storing, processing, managing, analyzing and presenting geographically referenced information.This broad term applies to science and technology, and integrates the following more specific disciplines and technologies including surveying and mapping, and mapping, geodesy, satellite positioning systems (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, Beidou Compass ), photogrammetry, remote sensing (RS), Geographic information systems(GIS), cartography, land management ,computer systems, environmental visualization and computer graphics, etc.测绘工作的定义是科学和技术的获取、存储、处理、管理、分析和呈现地理参考信息。这个宽泛的概念，适用于科学和技术，并集成了以下更具体的学科和技术包括测
