Geographical Data Capture
2011-2012 - GEO1251 - 10 ECTS

Expected learning outcomes

After completing the course, students will have a comprehensive understanding of the modeling of geographic information and Norwegian standards for geodata. Students will acquire basic knowledge of geographic data capture mainly using photogrammetry, with emphasis on assessing the quality of existing products with a view to using them in the construction of new mapping presentations.Students will in addition to theoretical knowledge gain practical skills in the use and control of geographical data to land surveying.

Topic(s)

  • Modeling of geographic information
  • Norwegian and international standards of geodata
  • Basic photogrammetry, stereo photogrammetry, station marking, selection and co-ordination of photogrammetric control points, aerial photography, aerial triangulation
