Special Geodesy

The course focuses on the practical application of modern surveying measurement technologies and surveying instrumentation in professional surveying practice. Students are introduced to the principles of measurement using GNSS technology, total stations, and digital levels, their possible applications, processing of measured data, and evaluation of the achieved accuracy. The course also introduces students to the Digital Technical Map (DTM) and the geodetic base documentation for its maintenance and updating.
Professional Knowledge: Students explain the basic principles of measurement using GNSS technology, total stations, and digital levels. They characterize individual measurement methods, their applications, and the factors affecting the accuracy and quality of the results obtained. They understand the basic principles of processing and evaluating measured data and are familiar with the issues related to the Digital Technical Map (DTM).
Professional Skills: Students are able to work practically with GNSS equipment, total stations, and digital levels. They can select an appropriate measurement method with regard to the required accuracy and the nature of the task, perform measurements correctly, process the measured data, and evaluate the achieved accuracy. They can process measurement results and prepare basic documentation related to the surveying work performed. They are able to prepare geodetic base documentation for the maintenance and updating of the Digital Technical Map.
General Competences: Students independently assess the suitability of individual surveying technologies and measurement methods for solving specific tasks. They are able to critically evaluate the quality and accuracy of measurement results, identify potential sources of errors, and justify the selected measurement and data processing procedures.
