Abstract: For improving the accuracy and efficiency of underground traverse survey，a eccentric measuring device is mounted on the handle of total station which needn’t precise centering to measurement points. Firstly, read the plumb readings on the eccentric survey plate, followed by conventional total station traverse operation, and finally use the computer’s software programming development to correct the resulting data.This method is of high accuracy and efficiency, low cost, simple operation, high degree of automation of data processing, and the data results can be visually displayed and saved. Under the premise of ensuring the accuracy, the efficiency of underground traverse survey is improved,the process of underground traverse survey with total station is also improved. This method has gained national patent.
