Vector data is a data structure that can be used to store spatial data. It is used to represent real-world features and assign attributes to those features.

Raster data is made up of pixels (also referred to as grid cells). Each pixel is associated with a specific geographical location. Raster data is an abstraction of the real world.

Volumetric measurements are done using aerial or ground surveying techniques to calculate the volume of stockpiles and other materials.

Ground Control Points (GCPs) are defined as the points on the surface of the earth which help to georeference raster data such as satellite, aerial, or drone imagery.

Contouring, in surveying, is the determination of elevation of various points on the ground.

Surveying is a process of determining or identifying different features of a land area. It helps in planning or mapping an area.
