Course content
Photogrammetry:
Basic mathematics, spatial and perspactive transformations. Cameras and image characteristics, camera caliblation. Reconstruction of stereo images. Introduction to photogrammetric triangulation. Mapping and photography planning. Introduction to digital photogrammetry and close range photogrammetry.
Geodesy:
Coordinate and height references, datum, geoid. Map projections, corrections on observations. Deflection of the vertical and geodal height models. Satellite geodesy (GPS), system description and measuring methods, data processing. Mathematical statistics and methods of estimation applied to this special field.
Learning outcome
Knowledge
The candidate should have knowledge of:
- Central coordinate and height reference systems which are in use in Norway and globally
- Geoid, geoid height models, deflection of the plumb line and transformations of heights between different datum
- Observation techniques, observation equations and data processing when using the satellite systems of GNSS for geo referencing
- Methods of mathematical statistics and estimations applied on tasks within geomatics
- Aerial and perspective transformations, reconstruction of stereo taking, planning of aerial photographing, and also aero triangulation
- Cameras and camera calibration
- Digital photogrammetry
Skills
The candidate is able to:
- Be acquainted with how GNSS is working and use GNSS equipment for real time measurements for post processing
- Calculate coordinates and heights in reference systems used in Norway, by using GNSS equipment
- Carry out analysis of accuracy and precision on measured and calculated coordinates and heights
- Reconstruct terrain coordinates from image coordinates and transform the coordinates between 3D coordinate systems
- Carry out collection of data (by measuring on the photographs) and calculations for aero triangulation.
General competence
The candidate can:
- Understand both basic and advanced terms and methods within geodesy/land surveying, mapping, satellite geodesy (GNSS), photogrammetry and transformations, and also the mathematical and statistical basis of the disciplines
- Understand and use professional terminology within the discipline
- Work independently and in team and take the necessary initiatives
- Identify common fields between this discipline and other professional disciplines and be open for inter disciplinary approach and cooperation.
Learning methods and activities
Lectures. Calculations and laboratory excercises. A subset of the assignments counts 30% of the final grade. If there is a re-sit examination, the examination form may be changed from written to oral.
