103-0253-AAL | Geoprocessing and Parameter Estimation Enrolment ONLY for MSc students with a decree declaring this course unit as an additional admission requirement. Any other students (e.g. incoming exchange students, doctoral students) CANNOT enrol for this course unit. | 5 credits | 4R | A. Geiger | |
Abstract | This course provides basic knowledge on parameter estimation and data processing. The necessary mathematical and statistical methods are developed and are applied to actual examples in geomatics. | ||||
Learning objective | The students are capable of analysing measurements with with appropriate methods. They can optimally extract model parameters from real measurements and are able to analyse and to retrieve additional information from time series. They understand the underlying algorithms of different geodetic analysis tools and processing methods. | ||||
103-0253-00L | Geoprocessing and Parameter Estimation | 5 credits | 4G | A. Geiger, M. Meindl | |

Abstract | Introduction to general scientific working methods and skills in the core fields of geomatics. It includes a literature study, a review of one of the articles, a presentation and a report about the literature study. | ||||
Learning objective | Learn how to search for literature, how to write a scientific report, how to present scientific results, and how to critically read and review a scientific article | ||||
Content | A list of themes for the literature study are made availabel at the beginning of the semester. A theme can be selected based on a moodle. | ||||
Prerequisites / Notice | Agreement with one of the responsible Professors is necessary |
