Photogrammetry

This course equips students with essential knowledge and skills in photogrammetry and introduces LiDAR. By the course's end, students will gain the knowledge of photogrammetric principles, systems, sensors and products; geometry of vertical, tilted and stereoscopic aerial photographs; fundamental photo and model space coordinate systems; photogrammetric measurement and refinement; direct and inverse coordinate transformations; collinearity conditions, direct linear transformation and rational function models; interior and exterior orientations; concepts of aero-triangulation; principles of images matching and epipolar geometry; DEM generation and orthorectification; close range and UAV photogrammetry; flight project planning; and basics of LiDAR systems.
