Smartphones, satellites, and sensors are creating more Big Geo Data than ever. This data is used for an increasing number of scientific purposes that aim to benefit the world. It’s a matter of gathering, analyzing, distributing and visualizing the data to make it fit for specific use, e.g. in systems for improving agricultural practice or creating healthy cities. The technologies supporting these processes are at the core of geoinformatics.\n\nEffectively acquiring and efficiently managing these amounts of data takes more than skills. It also requires keeping pace with ongoing technological developments and understanding how to interpret them. The course Advanced Geoinformatics offers you the possibility to expand your competencies and skills in advanced data acquisition and information extraction methods or focus more on the integration of state-of-the-art methods in geospatial workflows. You will learn to design and develop algorithms, models, and tools to process geo-spatial data into reliable, actionable information.\n\nEarth Observation Science track\nUpon completion of this course, you will be able to:\n\nDevelop an image processing chain using non-linear filters and mathematical morphology operations for automatic information extraction from images in context of a given problem.\nChoose and apply a segmentation method to a given image and describe the uncertainty of the obtained result.\nMake informed decisions on the best classification method for a given set of images and a specific problem.\nApply orthorectification to derive orthophoto.\nMake informed decisions on appropriate image matching method for a given type of data and problem.\nEvaluate attribute and scale uncertainty and relate it to the quality of derived orthophotos, accuracy of resulting image classification and matching.\nExplain how point clouds are generated from GNSS, IMU, and range finder measurements and relative sensor registration.\nAssess the applicability of laser scanning for various tasks, like surface reconstruction and 3D modelling.\nDesign survey plans to acquire point clouds taking into account the accuracy and point density requirements.\nEvaluate the quality of laser scanning datasets.\nDetermine and apply optimal point cloud processing methods to extract surface descriptions for geometric modelling and point cloud classification.\nInterpret and analyse point cloud processing results.\n\nGeo-information Processing track\nUpon completion of this course, you will be able to:\n\nAnalyse the quality of structured and semi-structured data sources and apply coding solutions for the storage, querying and curation of this data, appropriate for specific application contexts.\nApply semantic information integration through knowledge formalisation, semantic enrichment, exploratory querying and data mining.\nConstruct interoperable and reproducible geospatial workflows based on process modelling methods and workflow languages.\nMake informed decisions on the infrastructural system design for enabling meaningful data integration on the web.\nDiscuss the main spatio-temporal modelling paradigms.\nDesign a conceptual model for a spatiotemporal ABM using UML and the ODD protocol.\nImplement a basic ABM model, and calibrate this model using behavioural space.\nExplain to peers the main advantages and limitations of using geo-computational methods.\nChoose and integrate appropriate geocomputational methods to study a simple spatiotemporal problem.\nOrganize and conduct the modelling and analysis phases required by a simple spatiotemporal project.\nApply cloud computing approaches to support and/or realize the main modelling and analysis phases.\nEvaluate the innovation and societal relevance and impact of the project." .
