Entry Knowledge

Very good knowledge of the subject "Photogrammetry and Laser Scanning" from the 5th semester of bachelor's studies at FAST BUT in Brno.

Aims

The aim of the course is to acquire complex knowledges about technologies for spatial data acquisition. These are mainly photogrammetric methods with the use of metric cameras as well as non-metric cameras in close-range photogrammetry and unmanned vehicles. Furthermore, laser scanning (terrestrial and aiborne), mobile mapping and special technologies such as SLAM.


Students acquire additional knowledge of the basic subject of photogrammetry. For practice, the knowledge of the increasingly widely used method of laser scanning will be especially valuable.
