Aims: To extend the student's knowledge of surveying by giving them an understanding of how terrerial and aerial photgrammetry can be used in support of engineering projects.
Learning Outcomes:
The successful student will be able to demonstrate understanding of the capabilities of a range of modern surveying techniques, especially in the context of engineering projects.
Skills:
Ability to determine appropriate surveying methods for specific problems.
Content:
Photogrammetry:
Definition, history, uses and application of photogrammetry.
Stereoscopic viewing, depth perception, the human eye, principle of parallax.
Terrestrial photogrammetry.
Surveying accuracy/errors.
Differences between random and systematic errors, observations not equally precise, assessment of accuracy.
Assessment of acceptable tolerances in construction and building.
The advanced use of total stations, including reflectorless systems.
Laser Scanning, and any other newly developed technique considered to be appropriate to this unit.
