APPLICATION OF GRAPH THEORY TO COMPUTER-ASSISTED MAPPING

This is a discussion of the problem involved in defining the order of points for a pipeline from a group of random points. A new method is given for data processing to define the pipeline. The new process is simpler for field work and requires the following information: type of survey points; order of point numbers; and coordinate value of survey points. The method improves the capability and application of computer-aided mapping for the ground survey method.
