| 103-0253-00L | Geoprocessing and Parameter Estimation | 5 credits | 4G | A. Geiger, M. Meindl | |
| 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. | ||||
| Content | Mathematical modeling of engineering problems, general adjustment, minimization principles, propagation of variances, uncertainty of measurements, dealing with heterogeneous measurement types, linear/non linear regression, autocorrelation and colocation | ||||
| Lecture notes | Parameterestimation and Adjustment Philippe Limpach General Adjustment and Collocation Alain Geiger | ||||
| Prerequisites / Notice | Linear Algebra, Statistics | ||||
