Teaching exam periods:
This course starts in the Autumn parallel. This course has teaching/evaluation in the Autumn parallel
Course frequency: Annually
First time: Study year 2003-2004
Course contents:
Colloquium meetings: Introduction with history, principles and application fields. Basic introduction to instruments, signal properties, distance measurement using a laser, geometrical conditions when recording, sources of error, operational conditions. Sensor orientation, system calibration and stripe levelling. Production of terrain and surface models. Exercises: Theory exercises + processing of laser data.
Learning outcome:
The goal of the course is to create a foundation for understanding the underlying technology, principles and mode of operation needed to produce terrain and surface models through the use of airborne laser scanning. In addition, emphasis will be placed on understanding relevant problems related to system functionality, system calibration and accuracy in the resulting data.
Learning activities:
A series of colloquia. The students lecture on assigned topics - this is followed by discussions. Will be based on literature studies.
Teaching support:
Teaching support will be given primarily in connection with that part of the structured teaching that is reserved for exercise guidance. It will also be possible to communicate directly with the course teacher by appointment during office hours.
