Individual study hours:

Prerequisites:

Basic training in mathematical analysis is required. We recommend to acquire the basics for using the simplest functions of EXCEL and AUTOCAD.

Objectives

The purpose of the course is to provide students with the basics of Geodesy, Topography and Cartography through the knowledge and use of different instruments and the application of measurement and survey methods with advanced techniques.

Contents

The course consists of lectures alternated by a continuous activity of exercises that take place in the classroom, in the Laboratory of Photogrammetry and in the spaces surrounding the educational center. At the end of the course, dates are established, in which the students practice to integrate the measurements made with different tools and techniques. The data obtained, appropriately integrated and described, flow into the paper to be presented and discussed during the examination.

Communications with students will take place via e-mail, through the constitution of a group, the teaching material produced in itinere, and the reviews will be exchanged on a dropbox folder.

Teaching Methods

The course consists of lectures alternated with exercise activities in which students will be able to know and use traditional instruments (Theodolite, Total Station and Level) and innovative (Laser Scanner and GPS). In the photogrammetric field after having exposed the general principles, they will participate in the Laboratory in practical exercises of analytical stereoplotting, and then in digital photogrammetry and the use of the most advanced software.

Evaluation methods

Verification of learning:

The final evaluation will take into account the result of the oral exam and the evaluation of the thesis.

Contacts/More Information

The course will take place in the first semester, in a classroom of the educational pole of Pescara, the exercises will be announced by e-mail, and will take place in the classroom, in the Photogrammetric Laboratory and in external spaces.
