This course is meant for students who want to get into the field of geospatial data acquisition, processing, and application using state-of-the-art spaceborne, airborne, and terrestrial sensors and technologies.
This course provides students with significant knowledge on how to utilize active and passive imaging sensors, and laser scanning for collecting high-resolution 3D geospatial data. The main use of the 3D geoinformation obtained through this course is the creation of Digital Twins. By understanding and implementing Digital Twins, students will be able to enhance decision-making in urban planning, infrastructure maintenance, environmental conservation, and emergency response, etc.
During the course, students will investigate aircraft and drone vehicles that are equipped with imaging sensors and laser scanners (LiDAR) for creating highly accurate 3D models of terrain and structures. Students will learn the benefits of the integration of 3D products from photogrammetry and laser scanning and how it will create more precise 3D geoinformation for engineering applications, spatial analysis, and 3D visualization.
