Learning Objectives
The course aims to provide students with the basic knowledge and methodologies for the correct representation of the territory through numerical cartography, GPS applications, and aerial photogrammetric survey by drones. At the end of the course, students will be able to create digital thematic maps, make GPS surveys, and return an aerial photogrammetric survey.
Prerequisites
mapping
Teaching Methods
Lectures: 26
Laboratory/practice: 22
Type of Assessment
Part one: elaboration of a GIS project (score from 18 to 30/30).
Part two: elaboration of an aerial photogrammetric survey (score from 18 to 30/30).
The final result will be determined by the average of the scores achieved in the first and second part.
