Course Objective

Most data for GIS applications are produced using images acquired by air and space vehicles. GIS users must further process these raw images radiometrically and geometrically in order to integrate extracted information into GIS-medium. This course will deliver the information and methods on how an object is to be photographed/imaged to build 3D model, on how measurements are to be made on photos/images, on how we get 3D coordinates of objects from images relative to a coordinate system, on how we assess the product accuracy.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   interpret the deviations from the mathematical model of an image
2   experiment with digital hand-held cameras and will be able to make basic computations on images taken with these cameras.
3   formulate the relation between an object point and its projection on the image to build a 3D model from images
4   evaluate the geometric accuracy of the GIS products generated from the data
5   discuss and evaluate their project assignments
