Bachelor
► Wahlpflichtmodul BSc UW-GeoB-449
Period
Summer semester
Content
The module provides an overview of measurement methods and techniques in the geosciences, including aspects of sensors and methods for generating terrain models and orthophotos as well as their processing and analysis. Further contents of the module include the process flow from data collection, storage, analysis and visualisation for key measurement parameters in the geosciences.
Qualification objectives
Students are familiar with areas of application for methods for collecting spatio-temporal data in the geosciences. They have sound knowledge of referencing data in local and global coordinate systems. They are able to design, apply and analyse simple measurement methods.
