Catalogue data
Abstract | Theoretical basics and fundamental concepts of Geographic Information Science (GIS) are imparted and subsequently further elaborated with the software ArcGIS. At the end, the students will be able to independently solve basic realistic GIS problems. |
Learning objective | Students are able to - elucidate the theoretical and conceptional foundations of geographic information systems (GIS) - independently perform normal GIS work using commercial software and practical examples |
Content | The course covers the following topics: - What is GIS? What are spatial data? - The representation of reality by means of spatial data models: vector, raster, TIN - The four phases of data modelling: Spatial, conceptual, logical and physical model - Possibilities of data collection - Transition of reference frame - Spatial Analysis I: query and manipulation of vector data - Spatial Analysis II: operators and functions with raster data - Digital elevation models and derived products - Process modelling with vector and raster data - Presentation possibilities of spatial data One Friday is reserved for a field trip or guest speaker; |
