A student holds a thin aerial-photo sheet above a larger base-map board while a surveyor steadies the board. A separate city diorama, equipment shelf and worktable tools form a modern surveying-gallery scene.
Find twelve objects in order: transparent aerial-photo sheet, base-map board, set square, scale ruler, survey prism sample, distance meter, pencil, coordinate card stand, soft cloth, document tube, spirit-level vial and folding stool. The prism sample is a circular survey reflector on the upper-left shelf. The pencil protrudes from the surveyor's chest pocket. Short labels such as Aerial sheet, Prism and Meter are used.
Contains Chinese and English color, lineart and answer PNGs, each 1072 by 1620 pixels. Answer colors in target order are cyan, yellow, red, blue, orange, purple, red, pink, green, teal, lime and golden ochre. The upper sheet is colored opaque cyan in the answer rather than simulating optical transparency. The requested future-tech style appears as a realistic modern technology scene; lineart simplifies map, skyline and material detail. No geographic or measurement accuracy verification or child playtesting was performed. Source guidance: ages 13–17, L4.
