Geodimeter
A geodimeter is an optical instrument used in surveying and geodesy to measure distances between known points, often on the Earth's surface. It works by emitting a beam of light or infrared radiation and measuring the time it takes for the beam to return after being reflected off a target, allowing for accurate calculations of distances and positions. Geodimeters are commonly used in conjunction with other surveying techniques, such as triangulation and trilateration, to establish accurate maps and determine the precise spatial location of points on the Earth's surface.
