Summary
Subject is focused on practical exercising of GIS mapping with GNSS devices and consequent processing of obtained spatial data. Student has to realize a given complex task.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
Student demonstrates knowledge:
- needed for a correct selection of GNSS device and measurement technique
- necessary for identification of risks connected with GNSS mapping
- necessary for correct definition of data model for mapped data set
- needed for specification of content of individual phases of whole GIS mapping
- needed for processing of mapped data and deriving of secondary data according to given task

Student is able to:
- choose a correct GNSS device and measurement technique for specific mapping
- assess difficulty of GNSS mapping, plan, prepare and realize GNSS mapping including data post-processing
- operate selected software for GNSS mapping
Course Contents
Duration: 1 week (typically Monday to Friday at a location outside of Ostrava)
1, terrain exploration, design of data layers for mapping, preparation of technique,
2, mapping the occurrence of a given phenomenon in the field,
3, attribute data collection,
4, data integration within individual working groups,
5, processing of acquired spatial data, creation of assigned data analysis,
6, creation of map and graphic outputs, final report writing.
