October 18-20, 2011
Aalto University School of Engineering, Department of
Surveying, has the pleasure of inviting you to attend a three day graduate
school course in October 2011 in Espoo, Finland.
The main themes of the course are mobile mapping, UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) applications, detecting and tracking dynamic objects and GNSS on moving vehicles.
The course is aimed at graduate students in the field of
Geomatics, but we welcome students and all interested
parties of other fields as well. Lectures are given in English.
