A series of technical considerations are presented for the methodological processes of conventional and satellite topographic surveys applied in the capture of geospatial data, which are increasingly faster and more efficient, involving high levels of production with large volumes of points initially defined in a three-dimensional way. However, its correct link to a specific period of the National Geodetic Reference Framework of Costa Rica CR-SIRGAS requires a particular treatment, to comply with the current guidelines and regulations of the national authorities when the purpose is the cadastral registration. On the other hand, there are also surveys whose objectives do not require a cadastral component, but which must also be supported by clear technical processes both in the information capture and processing stages.
