Synopsis

This course aims at providing students with practical knowledge and skills related to geospatial data capture and acquisition, attribute database management, and GIS data pre-processing operations. It also covers the practical aspects of photogrammetry, basic satellite remote sensing and image interpretation. The knowledge and practical skills gained from these data capture technologies will be extended by hands-on exercises on attribute database management (creating, editing and expanding attribute tables) and pre-processing operations (data import and export, digitising and data editing, coordinate and projection transformation, and raster-vector-raster conversions). This course will involve the use of equipment (e.g. stereoscope, digital photogrammetric software), and an industry standard GIS software package.
