02533 Computer Science and Surveying
Danish title: Datalogi og Landmåling
Language:  Danish    ECTS-creditpoints:  10   
Class schedule:  
First and second semester
Scope and form:  Lectures, practical exercises and project work
Evaluation:  Approval of exercises and reports
Examination:  13-scale
Participant limitation:  Max. 25
Aim:  To give the participants a thorough knowledge of technical surveying.
To enable the students to decide which methods, programs and instruments to be used in order to achieve a certain accuracy, partly in connection with setting out construction work, and partly in connection with a surveying job, as for instance a control measurement, or a new survey. Stress is laid on control, evaluation of quality and visualization of the outcome.
To give the participants a knowledge of the use of network-linked computers and technical computer programs, and to enable the students, singly or in groups, to develop and document programs for the solution of smaller tasks.
Contents:  Information about and exercises with instruments for measuring angles, distances and heights as well as satellite measurements (GPS). Exercises in different surveying and setting out methods, point measurement with GPS, polygon measurement, polar surveying. The use of photogrammetric pictures for mapping. Co-ordinate systems in Greenland and transformation between town co-ordinates and WGS84. The course includes the solution of one or more bigger tasks involving setting-out and surveying for use in the production of a digital technical map of an area. Different programs for the computation of surveying data and for digital mapping (GIS) are introduced and used at the treatment of the students' own measurements. The use of town maps, ortophoto maps and maps of the open landscape in Greenland are introduced. Programming language and spreadsheets. Numbers and texts. Input and output of files. HTML programming. Data control and documentation.
Remarks:  The course is held in Sisimiut, Greenland during 3 periods of 8 days course work in the beginning of September, begining af December and the end of May.
