After successful completion of the course, students are able to use photogrammetric terminology, explain the concepts of the photogrammetric standard case and bundle block adjustment as well as planar rectification and ortho photo production. Students can perform flight planning and estimate accuracy of photogrammetric products. Students can explain the stereoscopic restitution principle. Students can describe the most important photogrammetric products (point coordinates, line plans, orthophotos and terrain models) and analyze their properties. They can illustrate the functionality of cameras and laser scanners and compare them with each other.

The course explains the basic theory starting from concrete and easily understandable applications. It is intended too avoid more complicated theory without curtailing the capability to understand essential applications.

• Discussion with students

written and oral exam

Im the written part of the exam prolems have to be solved by compuation and generation of sketches, they have to list and descibe photogrammetric quantities and describe them. In the oral part of the exam students are asked to discuss photogrammetric taks and methods as well as to explain photogrammetric concepts.
