After successful completion of the course, students are able to understand the basic principles of defining coordinate systems and coordinate frames. In addition they are able to perform coordinate transformations between global earth-fixed coordinate frames and projections into the plane.
The lecture deals with plane, 2D+height and 3D-Coordinate systems commonly used in geodesy. Transformation algorithms between these cartesian, spherical and plane coordinates as well as simple map projections are major topics. Finally the hierarchy of coordinate systems (global, regional, local) will be discussed intensively.
Presentations with slides will be used. Additionally, lecture notes will be available.
The first lecture is scheduled for March 4th, 10:15h in HS7 (2.floor, yellow tower, Wiedner Hauptstr. 8-10).
The lecture will be assesed via two written exams. Each test contributes with 50%. In total, at least 50% of the total number of points have to be reached. First test on May 6, 2024, second test on June 24, 2024. Calculators to be used.
Sehr geehrte Studierende
BItte melden Sie sich hier in TISS zu dieser VU an, damit ich bei Bedarf allen Teilnehmern Rundmails mittels TISS zusenden kann.
