Entry Knowledge

Basic knowledge of photogrammetric procedures and tasks, methods of taking digital images, image orientation, determining the elements of inner and exterior orientation, and digital image processing.

Aims

  • Gaining theoretical knowledge of current methods and principles of digital photogrammetry with emphasis on process automation,
  • the ability of practical application of selected methods of digital photogrammetry,
  • mastering the theoretical basics of remote sensing, the physical nature of methods of collecting information about the Earth's surface, and acquaintance with current technical means of image data collection and methods of their interpretation for many applications.

The student will acquire the objectives of the course Photogrammetry and remote sensing and will be able to apply the selected methods.
