Educational objectives
Knowledge and understanding - Know the main methods and tools, both optical and digital, of geomatics and remote sensing; - Know the types of existing digital data (optical and LiDAR) and the main methods for acquiring them; - Know how to apply and use geomatics and georeferenced spatial information for land planning and management. Ability to apply knowledge and understanding - Know the difference between raster and vector data - Know the properties of raster and vector data, their spatial resolution, and the reference system - Import, manage, and use digital raster and vector data from the main digital data acquisition systems; - Analyze data using free specialized geomatics software (QGIS) and numerical calculations (Microsoft Excel, MATLAB). - Access digital territorial databases, download data, and use them on GIS platforms. - Be able to use basic GPS tools in the field to acquire georeferenced points, use field points for basic topographic and agronomic measurements, and integrate field data with information from databases. Making independent judgments - Ability to identify methods for acquiring, analyzing, and using geospatial data. - Ability to integrate geomatics, topographic, environmental, geological, urban planning, and agronomic data to prepare technical reports on territorial issues. Communication skills - Use technical language. - Ability to structure and implement technical documentation related to project activities. Learning skills Ability to independently study and critically evaluate data types and the tools and methods used to collect and process them in territorial analysis.
