Lectures:
- Basics of GIS, concepts and history of GIS, coordinate systems, transformations between coordinate systems, commonly used Czech and worldwide systems.
- Representation of spatial data, spatial models.
- Raster representation of spatial data (pixel, voxel, TIN, quadtree).
- Vector representation of spatial data (planar map, algorithms to operate planar map).
- Algorithms for vector data management (planning, computing a shortest path).
- Methods of remote sensing of Earth, presentation of active and passive systems.
- Geocoding and georeferencing algorithms.
- Working with spatial data in relational database (Spatial SQL).
- Visualization of geographic data (3D visualization, visualization on the Internet).
- Global positioning systems (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo), technical implementations, usage and applications.
Labs:
- LIDAR data processing. Raw data extraction.
- LIDAR data processing. Preparation for visualization.
- Extracting points for georeferencing in LIDAR data.
