Different operations are involved during the location of details through plane table surveying. To carry out the operations under different field conditions, different methods of plane table surveying have been evolved - method of radiation, method of intersection, method of traversing and the method of resection. The method of radiation and the method of intersection are employed to locate objects and features present in the area of survey; the method of traversing is used to plot the network of stations and the method of resection is employed to determine and to plot the location of the plane table as well as to orient the table simultaneously.
