Field course with practical geodetic projects (3 weeks)

Introduction to general scientific working methods and skills in the core fields of geomatics. It includes a literature study, a review of one of the articles, a presentation and a report about the literature study.

This course provides an introduction to sensors, measurement techniques and analysis methods for geodetic monitoring of natural structures of local to regional scale like landslides, rock falls, volcanoes and tsunamis. Several case studies will highlight the application of the presented technologies.

Mapping aquifers for water supply, identifying archaeological remains for protection, and assessing landslides for geohazard mitigation highlight the critical role of near-surface geophysics. The course ‘Geophysical Field Work and Processing’, split into ‘Methods’, ‘Preparation’, and ‘Field Work’, offers a practice-oriented introduction to conducting near-surface geophysical investigations.

This course supports the students in acquiring an in-depth understanding of sensors, sensor systems and sensor networks for the acquisition of geospatial data. Emphasis is put on the prediction and assurance of data quality based on an understanding of key sensing principles, external influences, and data acquisition processes.

This course is an advanced introduction to spatial and temporal reference systems for acquisition, analysis and communication of geospatial data. The course covers definitions, conventions and comprehensive real world examples of coordinate reference systems, time reference systems, their respective practical realization, and operations for changing data between them.

This course introduces contact and non-contact techniques for 3D coordinate, shape and motion determination as used for 3D inspection, dimensional control, reverse engineering, motion capture and similar industrial applications.

Solving geodetic real-world engineering problems with methods of parameter estimation; choosing adequate mathematical models, implementation and assessment of the solutions.
