The entrance of non prism totalstation brought the application possibility to many fields including a topographic survey and a facility measurement. In this research we would try to examine the errors and the problems which will be happened in measuring object with non prism totalstation and to evaluate the accuracy and applicability. For this purposes, We checked accuracy change according to the observation ang1e and material of the object, and analyzed how much accuracy was effected with the color of the object surface and laser divergency which is proportional to the distance. By measuring the facility practically and analyzing it's results, We evaluated possibility of practical use of a non prism totalstation for a facility measurement. Consequently, We propose that the observation accuracy of non prism totalstation is not depend on the hardness or material of the object and can get a good result only when we use non prism totalstation with coaxial focusing system for a facility survey.

With a development of electrical technology in recent, it is possible to measure distance without direct contact to object using laser which launched at instrument and reflect from object. Furthermore, the advent of non prism total station brought the increment of application in many fields including not only road, airport, and harbors but also measurement and monitoring of structural displacement in construction fields. In this study, therefore, to evaluate accuracy of non prism total station, accuracy was analyzed by measuring certain distance which classified by both certain materials and angle of reflection. By this method, the derived values were applied to topographical survey for the efficient applicability. According to a study, result value of non prism total station was satisfBctory regardless of material when the angle of reflection was 90 degrees. RMSE increased when the angle of reflection are gradually increased to acute angle. In result of regression analysis using certain distance which classified by both materials and angles of reflection, there is relationship between distance and angle of reflection, but material has no relevance to the result value. When carrying out general topographical survey, proper application of non prism total station will go far conducting safe and prompt survey at the dangerous site such a road which have lots of traffic flow and rock joint which have high angles of inclination.

In this research, we would try to evaluate the applicability in cadastral resurvey surveying by analysing the accuracy of building boundary surveying using the reflective sheet total station surveying. When we analyse it, we refer the reflective sheet which can supplement not only the difficulties of total station surveying and GPS surveying caused by the diversity of the building structure but also the errors of non prism total station caused by material of the object. Each reflected angles $90^{\circ}$ and $60^{\circ}$, $30^{\circ}$ of RMSE results were analyzed by RMSE between 1.2mm~2.8mm and 2.2mm~4.0mm, 2.5mm~4.4mm for each distance. The result of X RMSE was analyzed to be 0.0043m in a boundary surveying for existing building between prism surveying and reflective sheet surveying, and also Y RMSE was 0.038m. The source of error is estimated that the body of the prism can not be exactly attached to the edge of a building. Therefore, it will be very helpful to use a reflective sheet surveying with a prism in both the limit of collimation and error reductions as a building boundary measurement in cadastral resurvey surveying.

Applications for developed non-prism total station which can decides three dimensional position without prism are increasing in variety survey fields. However, distance measurement using non-prism method is lower accurate than prism method because laser strength reflected from materials is varied by angle of reflection and materials. Therefore, distance measured using non-prism total station by angle of reflection and materials is compared with that using pnsm method, and its characters are introduced applying non prism total station in topographic surveying.
