Description
Geomatics is the modern
scientific term referring to the integrated approach of measurement, analysis,
and management of spatial data. These data come from many sources, including
earth-orbiting satellites, air and sea-borne sensors and ground based
instruments. It is processed and manipulated with state-of-the-art information
technology using computer software and hardware. Geomatics has
applications in all disciplines which depend on spatial data, including
environmental studies, planning, archaeology, engineering, navigation, geology
and geophysics, land development and land ownership. It is thus fundamental to
all geoscience disciplines which use spatially related data and can take many
forms including surveying, geodesy, remote sensing & photogrammetry,
cartography, geospatial information systems, cadastral systems and global
positioning systems.
This course will focus one
aspect of geomatics photogrammetry and will emphasize the application of
photogrammetry to the geosciences. We
will occasionally peer into the science of photogrammetry itself to illuminate
certain concepts, but will always return to practices using the software and
data available in the lab.
Details
Grading Policy: Grades will be based upon
collaborative problem sets, two examinations, and a comprehensive final project
(presented to the class and as a written report) weighted as follows:
Collaborative Labs (30%)
Examinations (30%)
Final Project (40%).
Collaborative Labs: Lab exercises are designed to
reinforce lecture material and develop skills in processing photogrammetric
surveys. They will generally begin during class time. However, it is unlikely that you will have
enough time to finish the assignment during the lab period so the labs will be
due the following week (Monday or Wednesday) unless otherwise stated. I will
not accept late submissions. I encourage you to collaborate on these problem
sets as they are intended to reinforce concepts discussed in class. However, YOUR WORK MUST BE YOUR OWN. Collaboration does not imply copying work
from others; departmental and college policies apply.
Exams: Exams will be closed-book and closed-note
unless stated otherwise.
Inclement Weather Policy: Class will
meet unless the University is closed. If
for some reason I am unable to lecture, I will notify everyone by email the
evening before class meets with instructions on make-up activities.
