Course description: The students will acquire the principles of modern geomatics, its measuring methods and the application of IT in the subject. They will be prepared to apply the modern measuring techniques, the remote data-acquiring methods and use them to solve practical problems. They will learn the application fields of geo-informatics and GIS programs. The students will be competent in the application of modern geodetic technology and geo-informatics in their field. The students enable to process their professional data and organize them into geo-information databases.
The short curriculum of the subject:
Coordinate Systems in geodesy. Geometric shape and gravitational field of Earth. Projections and mapping. Hungarian projections and mapping. Modern measuring techniques in Geodesy: Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing, GPS, Inertial Measurements, SAR technology for promoting surveying tasks in the related special fields. Geo-objects and geo-models. Raster and vector models. Data-storing techniques. Database-modelling in geo-informatics. Thematical data and their storage problems. GIS packages.
