Entry knowledge

Very good knowledge of the subject "Photogrammetry and Laser Scanning" from the 5th semester of bachelor's studies at FAST BUT in Brno.

Rules for evaluation and completion of the course

Verification of knowledge and skills takes place in exercises. Students are motivated to continuous study even during the lessons. The teacher repeatedly emphasizes essential profile information. The exam is carried out in the form of a test as well as in writing. Evaluation is carried out according to valid principles with a set scale of evaluation.


Extent and forms are specified by guarantor’s regulation updated for every academic year.

Aims

The aim of the course is to acquire complex knowledges about technologies for spatial data acquisition. These are mainly photogrammetric methods with the use of metric cameras as well as non-metric cameras in close-range photogrammetry and unmanned vehicles. Furthermore, laser scanning (terrestrial and aiborne), mobile mapping and special technologies such as SLAM.


Students acquire additional knowledge of the basic subject of photogrammetry. For practice, the knowledge of the increasingly widely used method of laser scanning will be especially valuable.
