Learning outcomes
The course provides the basic elements of Geomatics: modern terrestrial and spatial positioning techniques,
photogrammetry, laser scanning techniques and numerical cartography. The course contemplates exercises in
laboratory and on the field by means of surveying instruments, commercial, scientific and open source software.
Course contents
Reference systems of the classical and satellite Geodesy; coordinate systems; coordinate transformations in the plane and in space; transformations between reference systems.
Surveying elementary schemes; survey methods using GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) receivers.
Modern topographical instrumentations and survey methods with total stations, digital levels and terrestrial laser scanner.
Statistical analysis of topographical measurements; the propagation of measurement errors; principles of least squares;
least squares adjustment of measurements using the indirect observations method. Analysis of results and precision

Teaching methods
Lectures and exercises in Laboratory and on the field.
Analysis and discussion by examples of real cases.
Assessment methods
The examination at the end of the course is in written form with eventual oral integration, and aims to assess the achievement of learning objectives. To obtain a passing grade, students are required to demonstrate a knowledge of the key concepts of the subject, some ability for critical application, and a comprehensible use of technical language.
Teaching tools
A significant part of the course is designed to practical activities on the field and in the laboratory, by means of commercial, scientific and open source programs.
