Learning unit contents
Part A
This introduction to land surveying present in a broad way all the surveying operations (levelling, traversing, survey, setting out) and the associated instruments (levels, theodolite, total station).
Part B
This partim B to land surveying presents complements concerning instruments and other 3D measurments techniques (laserscanning and photogrammetry)
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
Part A
- to get a basic knowledge of surveying operations and practical methods - to get a basic knowledge of the instruments - to be able to organise a small surveying work - to be able to exchange with geomaticians
Part B
- to get a basic knowledge of laserscanning and photogrammetric instruments
- to masterise the diverse data process steps
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
Part A
The course assumes good knowledge of basic mathematics: geometry, trigonometry, as well as of some elements of general physics: optical and electronic mechanics.
Part B
