1. Geomatics, Faculty of Engineering (v4, p122) : Next:451-500 | Prev:451-458
Credit points: 28.00
Coordinator: Mr. A. M. Judd
Prerequisite: 451-308 Geomatics Science 3, 451-304 Mathematics 3 (GEOMATICS)
Contact: 65 hours of lectures and 65 hours of tutorial and practice classes
Timetable: Double semester.
Objectives:
At the conclusion of this subject the student should:
- comprehend the concepts behind geodetic surveying techniques, especially those associated with satellite positioning systems
- have an understanding of precision and accuracy specifications for geodetic surveys
- have the skills to competently execute geodetic measurements in the field
- comprehend the principles of measurement using multiple photographs
- have an understanding of the process of photogrammetric aerotriangulation, close range network adjustment and the associated error analyses
- have the skills to carry out a multiple photograph, photogrammetric survey
- comprehend the principles of camera calibration using test ranges or self-calibration
Content:
Surveying (78 hours): Satellite surveying with GPS: theory, instrumentation, field procedures, reduction. Geodetic surveying: specifications, field procedures and reductions. Geodetic network adjustment: datum systems, quality control of geodetic networks, adjustment in stages. Geodesy: gravity effects on survey measurements, geoid modelling.Photogrammetry (52 hours): Analytical Photogrammetry: projective transformation by vectors and matrices; comparator measurements and reductions, image coordinate refinement; analytical relative and absolute orientation; systematic and random photogrammetric errors. Aerotriangulation: principles and theory of various methods; error propagation, strip and block adjustment, GPS aerotriangulation. Close Range Digital Photogrammetry: principles and adjustment of multistation photography; advanced camera calibration, additional parameters, self-calibration; engineering and industrial photogrammetry. Digital orthophotographs.
Assessment:
Not more than six hours of written examinations and tests, and not more than the equivalent of 80 pages of written assignments and reports on practical work.
