2. Objectives and learning outcomes
2.1 Objectives
The course consists the theorethical knowledge of digital terrain / surface modeling and analysis in depth. After completing this course, the students will understand the details of data acquisition procedures and sources used in digital elevation modeling (DEM), the structure of the databases, interpolation and analysis methods. The mathematical background of these methods will also be presented. In practice, the students will be able to collect relevant elevation data, perform spatial analysis functions, create and visualize appropriate digital elevation model in connection with environmental phenomenas of natural and built-in areas. The course reviews the entire process of elevation data acqusition, the DEM's structures, interpolation, analysis and visualization.
2.2 Learning outcomes
Upon successful completion of this subject, the student:
A. Knowledge
- The elevation data acquisition methods (operational principles, groups, characteristics)
- Elevation data preprocession, filtering
- Knowledge of DEM structures
- Interpolation methods
- Technological background of DEM analysis and visualization
B. Skills
- Ability of creating a strucured DEM
- Preprocessing and filtering the raw data
- Selection of relevant interpolation method
- Creation of static and dynamic data visulization
C. Attitudes
- Openmind to the usage of GIS tools and solutions
- Systematic thinking
D. Autonomy and Responsibility
- Independent work
- Ability in organizing and managing
2.3 Methods
Lectures, oral and written communication, usage of IT tools and technologies, Discussions, analysis and calculations during the courses.
