Each semester, a new team is created in the MS Teams app and made available to students, where they can access the latest lectures in electronic format, materials for exercises, and other study resources.
You can also access the study materials (Aerial Photogrammetry and TLS) at: https://db.opvvv.msmt.cz/vystup/1494
In addition, study materials are available for download from an alternative link:
