Overview
Integration of point-cloud mapping technologies, on land and at sea, including lidar,photogrammetry, and multibeam acoustic sensing. Practical applications and skills for collecting, processing, analysing and delivering high-resolution survey data.
Brings together photogrammetry/structure-from-motion, lidar, multi-beam-echo-sounding as leading 3D technologies for high-resolution surveys at land and at sea. Provides practical applications and skills for collecting, processing and analysing point-clouds and delivering high-resolution survey data.

Students will gain a deep understanding of the theories and techniques behind photogrammetry, lidar, and multi-beam echo sounding. They will develop practical skills in data collection and processing for creating topographic surfaces and related products, while mastering modern tools for point cloud analysis. Students will apply mathematical and geospatial principles to evaluate and integrate reality capture data, addressing uncertainties to deliver high-quality, visually compelling survey results for land and sea.
