Objectives
This course will provide the student with basic understanding how to utilise modern 3D reality capture technologies and publicly available open geospatial data in Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) related projects. The student will get an overview of point clouds, 3D laser scanning, photogrammetry and drones, scan-to-model processes and the related software tools.
Content
The following topics will be covered during the course:
- Coordinate and height systems, traditional surveying methods and equipment,
- Terrestrial laser scanning, workflows and equipment, georeferencing
- Point cloud software and point cloud post-processsing
- 3D data file formats and interoperability
- Scan-to-model workflows and importing point clouds to modeling/engineering software
- Basic principles of photogrammetry
- Camera drones and photogrammetry
- Photogrammetry software
- Open geospatial data, sources and software for processing it
Prerequisites
Basic knowledge of surveying, GIS or CAD/BIM software is recommended, but not mandatory.
Assessment criteria, satisfactory (1-2)
The student is able to identify and define the basics of the course and solve simple questions
applications that are similar to the tasks being handled.
Assessment criteria, good (3-4)
In addition to the above, the student is able to choose the most suitable one by applying and comparing different options
policy and justify their choices.
Assessment criteria, excellent (5)
In addition to the above, the student has a comprehensive understanding of the course topics and their use
problem solving; and the ability to present, analyze, and justify logically handled issues and methods of solution.
Further information
The teaching include lectures and exercises. Exercises are done both in groups and individually. The exam will be split to five smaller tests during the course. These tests will be arranged in Tabula environment in the beginning of the lectures and their schedule will be informed during the course.
