An introduction to Digital Elevation Modelling. Basic coverage of photogrammetric and remote sensing principles Monitoring and modelling of landscape change.
Outcome:
By the end of this course students will be able to:
■ Assess data sources for digital terrain modelling.
■ Discuss the applications of topographic mapping and digital terrain models.
■ Evaluate and compare algorithms for creating digital terrain and surface models from different types of data.
■ Describe and evaluate the concepts and models used in digital terrain and surface modelling.
■ Explain the principles of LiDAR and critically assess its use for Digital Elevation Model generation.
■ Explain the flowline for Digital Elevation Model production using Structure from Motion Multi View Stereo.
■ Apply methods for visualising Digital Elevation Model data.
■ Critically assess the use of topographic information in monitoring and mapping landscape change.
