Extraction, analysis and dissemination of geospatial information  

General informationLearning outcomesStructureTopics

Description

This course teaches the extraction, analysis, and dissemination of information from geospatial data in an iterative approach using concrete applications. Exemplary course topics are the creation of Digital Terrain Models using photogrammetric techniques, and the visualization of the results in a 3D environment using Virtual Reality. Furthermore, you will use different map representations to visualize time series results taking uncertainty of measurements and models into account. Lastly, the design and creation of geoservices and web mapping technology will be discussed.

Didactical approach description

This course deepens the theoretical knowledge and practical skills regarding the extraction, analysis, and dissemination of geospatial information. Theoretical lectures and flipped-classrooms will provide students with in-depth scientific knowledge of the methods and (ungraded) supervised practical sessions will let students practice these skills. An individual assignment will test the student’s practical knowledge on Geovisualization. Key to this course is a group assignment which integrates the various concepts taught in the lectures and promotes peer-learning. Teams will work together to combine the different processes of extraction, analysis and dissemination into a single practical project. Question hours and example exams will help students prepare for the final individual exam which tests the theoretical knowledge acquired during the course.
