Doctoral study graduate (Ph.D.) in specialization Geodesy and Cartography is linked up to the magister degree of Geodesy and Cartography.
The study programme offers two specializations: Geodesy, and Cartography. Doctoral student has to absorb required amount of enlarged mathematical-physical basic knowledge. In addition he has to pass through the subjects of special applied basis including the methods of measurement, the evaluation, and analysis of geodetic and cartographic data, the physical geodesy, the satellite and space geodesy, geographic and cartographic information systems and others. Further subjects are added according to scopes of the dissertation thesis. Firstly it concerns the fields of geodetic controls, engineering geodesy, global positioning systems, photogrammetry and remote sensing, cadastre of real estates, digital cartography, and others. In course of doctoral studies the graduate adopts methodology of scientific work, and gets deep theoretical and language knowledge which qualifies him for individual creative scientific activity. Doctoral study graduate in specialization Geodesy and Cartography can be employed in development and research institutions of appropriate specialization, and also as academic staff at universities.

1. Design of the Metadata Model of the BUT GIS Data Warehouse

   Design of metadata model for GIS BUT data warehouse for suitable description of maps and documents for their rapid and unique identification is the goal of this work. This design has to take into consideration heterogenous data formats and a possibility of linking of the BUT GIS data warehouse with a data sample of the Information system of real estates.

   Tutor: Bartoněk Dalibor, doc. Ing., CSc.

2. Employment of heterogeneous data for local quasigeoids creation

   As an introduction to the work, precision of existing gravity models or derived quasigeoid models in region of Czech Republic will be evaluated. Goal of the work is consideration of benefits of different types of data (gravimetric, astronomical, geometrical, topographical,...) for local quasigeoid models improvement with special view on mountain regions problems.

3. Exploitation of GPS/levelling data and various gravity data for study of Upper Crust unhomogeneities .

   Space localisation of inhomogeneities into Upper Crust gives new information about mineral sources. GPS/levelling and satellite, airborne and ground gravity offer new possibilities for their study>

   Tutor: Vatrt Viliam, prof. Ing., DrSc.

4. Geodynamical and kinematical manifestations on the area of the Czech Republic

   Recent increasing of the information about geodynamical and kinematical manifestation at area of the Czech Republic do not reflects higher interest for their registration and analyzes. DSP will be oriented on the processing all available materials and information, their analyses and on the bases of the gained results the first version of the Geodynamical map of Czech Republic will be compiled.

   Tutor: Pospíšil Lubomil, doc. RNDr., CSc.

5. Integration of image spectral data with lidar dta

   Processing of image data from visible and infrared spectrum with spatial lidar data (spatial information and full waweprocessing).

   Tutor: Hanzl Vlastimil, doc. Ing., CSc.

6. Monitoring of Structures

   The theme of the doctoral work is the issue of structure monitoring. Automated continuous measurement or epochs measurement using electronic measuring stations of different types will be solved. The solution will be a methodology for measuring, the issue of the integration of disparate data and their evaluation, graphical representation of the results, the analysis of the accuracy and interpretation of the results.
