Geoprocessing Tools

Description


This course is focused on the several Data Sources and Tools that, in the context of a Geographic Information System (GIS), support the validation of novel technologies compared to classical and state of the art methods for Data Collection.

Contents: The data collection techniques to be described include classical aerial photogrammetry and photogrammetric mapping techniques, classical surveying technologies: the Total Station, surveying basics: Radiation and traverse methods.

Introduction to geodesy and cartography. Global Geographical and Projected coordinate systems. Geographical Information Systems: Data Sources and Models. Geographical data analysis of example study cases.

The methodology of the course will consist of offline theoretical lectures followed by exercises and autonomous working of the student.

 

Calendar

The course is designed to be developed in 12 weeks after the presentation that is scheduled in September 2021.


2D/3D Imaging Methods

  • Description

    This course is focused on the use of 2D and 3D imaging methods to obtain measurements that may be used to validate novel technologies in an application context based on Photogrammetrics.

    The student will learn how to characterize a prosumer camera to be applied to obtain measurements from one or several images. The model of the camera will be theoretically defined in the process known as calibration.

    The single view model of the camera will be used to obtain measurements including a number of constraints to the image. For two and more views, the process of relative and absolute orientation will be defined.

    Regarding the 3D imaging methods, the laser scanner techniques will be presented and some theorical exercises for point cloud processing will be proposed for the students to work autonomously.
