Patent ID: 11402204

Abstract:
Provided is a surveying instrument including a measuring unit including a tilt sensor configured to acquire tilt angle data of the instrument, and an environment sensor to acquire environment data correlating with a leveling time and leveling accuracy, a leveling unit including a leveling drive unit and configured to level the instrument, an arithmetic control unit configured to control the measuring unit and the leveling unit, and a storage unit configured to store the environment data, leveling result data of the leveling unit, and information on leveling operation conditions. The storage unit has surveying instrument-specific information. The arithmetic control unit predicts optimum leveling conditions based on results of machine learning of optimum leveling conditions by using the environment data, the leveling result data, the information on leveling operation conditions, and the surveying instrument-specific information as learning data to modify a leveling program so as to realize the optimum leveling conditions.
