This course supports the students in acquiring an in-depth understanding of sensors, sensor systems and sensor networks for the acquisition of geospatial data. Emphasis is put on the prediction and assurance of data quality based on an understanding of key sensing principles, external influences, and data acquisition processes.
Learning objective
After this cours, the students should be able to
describe main sensing principles for time, distance, angle, position, attitude, motion, temperature, optical imaging and spectrum; describe main performance criteria of sensors and sensor systems for static and dynamic geospatial applications; control s ensors for geospatial data acquisition using a computer and self-written programs; predict the performance of sensors and sensor systems based on information from data sheets and documentation of sensor system architecture; assess the performance of sensors and sensor systems experimentally.
Prerequisites / Notice
The course requires familiarity with linear algebra and analysis at the level of a BSc program in engineering or natural sciences.

Performance assessment
Performance assessment information (valid until the course unit is held again)
The performance assessment is offered every session. Repetition possible without re-enrolling for the course unit.
Mode of examination
oral 30 minutes
Additional information on mode of examination
The practical exercises and labs included in this course are graded as compulsory continuous performance assessment (obligatorische Leistungselemente). The grading scheme will be announced and explained at the beginning of the course. The overall grade of the course results from this continuous performance assessment (weight 30%) and the grade obtained during the oral session exam (weight 70%). The continuous performance assessement does not have to be passed on its own.
This information can be updated until the beginning of the semester; information on the examination timetable is binding.
