Surveying system comprising - a surveying pole, - a display means, - a position measuring resource (15, 16) being mounted on the surveying pole, wherein positions of the position measuring resource are determinable by the surveying system, and - a surveying subsystem, wherein the surveying subsystem comprises a camera module and a control and evaluation unit, - the camera module comprising at least one camera for capturing images that is designed to be attached to the surveying pole, - the control and evaluation unit having stored a program with program code so as to control and execute a remote point measurement functionality in which - a series of images of a surrounding is captured with the camera while the surveying system moves along a path through the surrounding, the series comprising a plurality of images captured with different camera poses of the camera, i.e. from different points on the path and with different orientations of the camera, and - a SLAM-evaluation with a defined algorithm using the series of images, wherein a plurality of respectively corresponding image points are identified in each of several sub-groups of images of the series of images and, based on resection and forward intersection using the plurality of respectively corresponding image points, ▪ a reference point field is built up comprising a plurality of reference points of the surrounding, wherein coordinates of the reference points are derived, and ▪ the camera poses for the images are determined, characterised in that the control and evaluation unit is configured so that the remote point measurement functionality is controlled and executed in such a way that - an image of the surrounding is displayed on the display means of the surveying system, the image basing on at least one of the images of the series of images; - an image point in the displayed image of the surrounding is manually selectable by a user on the display means; - upon selection of the image point, a 3D position of the remote point being represented by said selected image point is derived, wherein a subset of images in which the remote point appears is automatically identified from the series of images and the 3D position is determined based on forward intersection using said subset of images and the determined camera poses for the images of said subset; and - the derived 3D position is provided on the display means. - a surveying pole, - a display means, - a position measuring resource (15, 16) being mounted on the surveying pole, wherein positions of the position measuring resource are determinable by the surveying system, and - a surveying subsystem, - the camera module comprising at least one camera for capturing images that is designed to be attached to the surveying pole, - the control and evaluation unit having stored a program with program code so as to control and execute a remote point measurement functionality in which - a series of images of a surrounding is captured with the camera while the surveying system moves along a path through the surrounding, the series comprising a plurality of images captured with different camera poses of the camera, i.e. from different points on the path and with different orientations of the camera, and - a SLAM-evaluation with a defined algorithm using the series of images, wherein a plurality of respectively corresponding image points are identified in each of several sub-groups of images of the series of images and, based on resection and forward intersection using the plurality of respectively corresponding image points, ▪ a reference point field is built up comprising a plurality of reference points of the surrounding, wherein coordinates of the reference points are derived, and ▪ the camera poses for the images are determined, - a series of images of a surrounding is captured with the camera while the surveying system moves along a path through the surrounding, the series comprising a plurality of images captured with different camera poses of the camera, i.e. from different points on the path and with different orientations of the camera, and - a SLAM-evaluation with a defined algorithm using the series of images, wherein a plurality of respectively corresponding image points are identified in each of several sub-groups of images of the series of images and, based on resection and forward intersection using the plurality of respectively corresponding image points, ▪ a reference point field is built up comprising a plurality of reference points of the surrounding, wherein coordinates of the reference points are derived, and ▪ the camera poses for the images are determined, ▪ a reference point field is built up comprising a plurality of reference points of the surrounding, wherein coordinates of the reference points are derived, and ▪ the camera poses for the images are determined, - an image of the surrounding is displayed on the display means of the surveying system, the image basing on at least one of the images of the series of images;
