Surveying apparatus
First Claim
1. A surveying apparatus for measuring a distance, a horizontal angle, and an altitude angle of a measurement target by use of reflected light, said surveying apparatus comprising:
- a picking-up device capable of being connected to said surveying apparatus, said picking-up device having an optical axis approximately parallel with an optical axis of said surveying apparatus;
an operation unit for associating measurement data obtained by said surveying apparatus with image data obtained by said picking-up device, and displaying a measurement target position mark in said image data;
a first storage unit for storing said measurement data associated with said image data;
a second storage unit for storing said image data associated with said measurement data; and
a display unit for, when necessary, displaying at least one of said measurement data and said image data stored in said first storage unit and said second storage unit, respectively.

Abstract
The present invention relates to both a surveying apparatus with a picking-up device and a electronic storage medium, and particularly to a surveying apparatus capable of combining a background image captured by a picking-up device with survey data obtained by the surveying apparatus and displaying the combined image on a display unit, wherein the surveying apparatus is configured such that the picking-up device can be connected to the surveying apparatus, the picking-up device having an optical axis approximately parallel with an optical axis of the surveying apparatus, the surveying apparatus comprising: an operation unit for associating measurement data obtained by the surveying apparatus with image data obtained by the picking-up device and displaying a measurement target position mark in the image data; a first storage unit for storing the measurement data associated with the image data; a second storage unit for storing the image data associated with the measurement data; and a display unit for, when necessary, displaying at least one of the measurement data and the image data stored in the first storage unit and the second storage unit, respectively.
