Learning unit contents
The course "Geospatial Data Collection" aims to familiarize students with the fundamental principles related to the collection and analysis of geospatial data.
The learning process is structured around two complementary approaches:
- Theoretical lectures, providing the necessary conceptual foundations;
- Laboratory sessions and/or practical sessions, enabling students to directly apply theoretical knowledge and gradually progress towards the final project.
- General process of spatial data collection
- Typical instruments and acquisition methods
- Introduction to reference surfaces and coordinate systems
- Fundamentals of remote sensing
- Retrieval, management and analysis of Geospatial Big Data
- Fundamentals of photogrammetry
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
- Ability to analyze a real-world situation or problem and propose an appropriate method for collecting the required geospatial data
- Acquisition of basic knowledge of geospatial data collection instruments, methods and analysis platforms
- Production of professional-level deliverables (maps, reports) based on collected geospatial data
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
- Geodetic systems
- Geometry and trigonometry
- Use of word processing softwares
- Use of spreadsheets and/or programming scripts
- Familiarity with GIS tools
- Ability to prepare slide presentations
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Each theoretical lecture is reinforced by lab and/or practical sessions, providing students with the opportunity to directly apply theoretical knowledge and progressively advance toward the final project.
For each lab and/or practical session, students are required to submit a written report.
Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)
Face-to-face course
Further information:
This is a face-to-face course.
Theoretical lectures as well as laboratory sessions and/or practical sessions take place at the scheduled times indicated in the course timetable.
