To acquire basic and applied knowledge in the field of geodesy, geomatics and geoinformatics. To acquire basic and applied knowledge in the field of terrain survey and integrated survey systems.

Acquired knowledge is used in professional courses, as well as in the recognition and in solving the engineering problems.

Advanced methods in GPS measurements, differential (DGPS) and real time kinematic survey (RTK). Methods for determining and techniques for searching ambiguities (least square method, variance-covariance, FASF, Lambda method and other), both for phase data and for the combination of phase and code data. Plans for GPS development and the advantages of new possibilities for the sensor integration in geomatics. Basic principles and prerequisites for sensor integration, advantages occurring from the integration. Sensor properties that are applied in the integration for geodetic and geoinformation purposes (GPS, inertial systems, remote detection sensors, odometers and gyroscopes). Algorithms for sensor integration. Integration of GPS and GIS. Sensor integration for non-geodetic purposes. Geomatic approach to sensor integration, defining the space for integrated sensors, problems in data gathering and data quality. Practice content: Practical application of presented concepts from lectures.

Prerequisites: 50% of points should be provided through obligatory tasks, during the teaching process. Examination: Knowledge evaluation: final examination – oral form.
