ANNOUNCEMENT
FOR THE POST-GRADUATE STUDENTS IN GEOMATICS
Graduate school
in geomatics will arrange a 1-Week
Short Course for Post-Graduate
Students in
Alternative Sensor Orientation Approaches in Photogrammetry and Remote
Sensing
Venue:
Helsinki
University of Technology, Main building, Lecture Hall M1 + computer lab
The course is
arranged in two parts: Lectures plus exercises in June and student
presentations later in Autumn.
Program
for the 1-week short course 06.-10.06.2005
Lecturer:
Prof.
Dr.-Ing. Clive S. Fraser
Dept. of
Geomatics,
University of Melbourne, Australia
Synopsis:
Digital imaging
technology has had a profound impact on the science and technology of
photogrammetry. This has been especially the case in two areas:
high-resolution
satellite imagery (HRSI), and the conduct out photogrammeric surveys
using
consumer-grade digital cameras. Both these innovations call, for
different
reasons, for sensor orientation models that constitute alternatives to
traditional photogrammetric models. The need for alternative
orientation models
is driven partly by the characteristics of new HRSI sensors and
off-the-shelf
digital cameras, and partly by the desire to provide robust, flexible
and
highly automated product generation systems suited for use by
non-photogrammetrists. This 1-week course will cover alternative sensor
orientation in HRSI and close-range photogrammetry. It will comprise
class-room
sessions of theory as well as practical exercises in sensor orientation
utilizing specialized, state-of-the-art software systems. At the
conclusion of
the course the student will understand the theory and practice of
alternative
sensor orientation modeling in photogrammetry, and will have had
practical
experience with implementation of the concepts covered.
During the short
course
days there will be an
opportunity to discuss and to get feedback from the lecturer and other
experts.
Later in Autumn there will be a post-graduate student
seminar for
student presentations in related
subjects.
Topics of
these presentions must be discussed in advance, students are
encouraged to suggest their own topic.
In addition to
the post-graduate students in Geomatics the course can
be attended by the students from other departments of HUT or other
Universities who can utilize the participation in their own
post-graduate studies. The course is also suitable for further training
or education for those interested in the subject.
Study
weeks in
HUT:
- participation
in the short course with exercises, 2.0 study weeks,
- presentation
1.0 study week,
- and publication 2.0 study weeks.
Send the registration
form to Secretary Marika.Ahlavuo(at)hut.fi by email latest on Monday 30.05.2005. You can also
registrate by using this link.
The
post-graduate course as itself is free of charge, but there will be a
fee (appr. 10 Euros) for all available
lecture material copied in advance.
Later, the aim
is to
collect the lecture material onto a CD.
Responsible for
the content of the post-graduate course is Professor
Henrik Haggrén (Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing) and for the
practical arrangements Senior Researcher Jussi Heikkinen.
