Course contents :
|
|||||
| The course provides an introduction to various data acquisition methods used in geography. It emphases practice and field work basics.
Aerial Photography (Part Y. CORNET) - photography (analogical, digital, light radiation, ...) - central projection, - scale, - parallax and stereoscopy (binocular vision, stereoscopes, anaglyphs) - photogrammetry, - examples of use (relief, cities, crops...). Topographic survey and plans (Part R. BILLEN) - measuring tape, square prism, plans covering, - presentation of advanced techniques. |
|||||
|
Learning outcomes of the course :
|
|||||
| The purpose of this course is mainly to awaken the student to some simple data acquisition tools he will use later in his training. Aerial Photography: The student will master the geometric aspects of aerial photographs (geometric model: central projection). He will also be able to understand from practical examples the opportunities offered by stereoscopy in different field of geography (restitution by visual interpretation and metrology). Topography: The student will be able to organize a small mission with traditional measurement tools and to represent the results graphically. He will be able to understand the limitations of these techniques and to foresee the benefits of new methodologies. | |||||
|
Prerequisite knowledge and skills :
|
|||||
| The prerequisites for this course are fundamental concepts of mathematics (geometry and trigonometry) and physics (geometrical optics and electromagnetic radiation). | |||||
|
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
|
|||||
| The course will include theoretical parts (aerial photography, topography) delivered ex cathedra. The theoretical concepts will then be illustrated and operated (measurements, calculations, interpretation) during practical and directed work sessions (photography observed under a stereoscope or not, anaglyphs, land survey, etc.). | |||||
|
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :
|
|||||
| The method of teaching used is face-to-face. Presence is obligatory. Any absence must be justified (by a medical certificate, for example). | |||||

|
Assessment methods and criteria :
|
|||||
| - Non-certificative self-assessment: Exercises done and corrected during practical sessions providing feedback to the student thanks a strong interaction between students and teachers.
- Certificative evaluation: Oral examination on theory and written examination based on exercises inspired by non-certification evaluation. |
