Introduction to Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and GIS
(ECTS: 6; SWS: 4)Lecturers
Dr.-Ing. Michael Eineder, Univ.-Prof. Dr. Uwe Stilla, Hon.-Prof. Dr. Günter Strunz| prerequisites | mathematics, signal processing | |
| objectives | At the end of the module students will understand the principles of photogrammetry and optical/microwave remote sensing and be able to apply them for the generation of geodata like Digital Elevation Models. They will also understand the measurement principles of the most important current sensors in space, including the importance of remote sensing to the observation of global climate variables. Furthermore, they will have learned about the key elements of Earth observation missions and the main applications of remote sensing and GIS in environmental monitoring, disaster management and emergency mapping. Finally, the students will have learned about GIS and remote sensing applications in a public authority. |
