Summer field course based on geodetic subjects taught up to the 6th semester. The site and the exact subject is decided each year by the tutor after arrangements made with organizations and local authorities, in places outside the greater Limassol area. Technical report composition.
-Field Course in Photogrammetry
Compilation of an integrated project, which constitutes a practical work for the solution of photogrammetric issues. The project includes: The compilation of digital rectification of an object, such as the facades of a building or monument, by using control points or known distance lengths, or the compilation of stereo-restitution at an analytical or digital photogrammetric instrument, through air-photos or close-range photos taken either by a metric or an amateur camera, or the compilation of integrated photogrammetric surveys, which include both field work and office work, or the solution of special problems, by writing the proper software, or the use of specialised photogrammetric software, or the appropriate modification of general usage software packages for photogrammetric purposes.
-Field Course in Remote Sensing
Practical exercise involving applications of analogue and digital image analysis methods and techniques applied to projects of natural resources inventories and monitoring and in specific fields of interest to the students. Field work techniques for image processing and classification algorithms. Field spectro-radiometric measurements will be undertaken during the course (using field spectroradiometers).Sun-photometers will be used to measure the atmospheric optical properties for supporting remote sensing measurements.
-Field Course in Higher and Satellite Geodesy
Training of instruments and measurements of Higher and Satellite Geodesy (GPS). Planning lay out and execution of works and measurements for the establishment geodetic networks of higher order using satellite techniques. Reductions and calculations on the reference ellipsoid and in cartesian reference systems GPS baselines computation and analysis.
