| Abstract | This course is an advanced introduction to spatial and temporal reference systems for acquisition, analysis and communication of geospatial data. The course covers definitions, conventions and comprehensive real world examples of coordinate reference systems, time reference systems, their respective practical realization, and operations for changing data between them. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Learning objective | After this course the students should be able to describe the most important established national and international spatial and temporal reference systems; describe the techniques, processes, and institutions needed to establish and maintain reference frames; select appropriate reference systems and frames for specific geospatial modeling/analysis tasks; carry out coordinate transformations, conversions, and time operations on geospatial data, taking into account and quantifying the uncertainties; combine geospatial data originally referring to different reference frames into a single reference frame. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Prerequisites / Notice | The course requires familiarity with linear algebra and analysis at the level of a BSc program in engineering or natural sciences. | ||||||||||||||||||||
