Students who might elect to take the course: Graduate students in Imaging Science, M.S. track. Graduate students in other Engineering and Science Programs Goals of the course To give students an understanding of the fundamentals and applied mathematics used in modern digital photogrammetry. Students will learn how to utilize airborne and spaceborne imagery to determine 3D-Coordinates on the ground for point positions, Digital Elevation Models, Mosaics, Maps and other Topographic information. Students will learn to apply this knowledge to the design and evaluation of imaging systems and their suitability for achieving required accuracies. They will learn various Earth Coordinate Systems and the geometric structure, characteristics and limitations of sensors and how those characteristics affect the design of imaging systems. Course description ( See separate Document for Elements of Photogrammetry) Course Description: Elements of Photogrammetry: 4 Credit Hours. The course will introduce the basic fundamentals essential to understanding Photogrammetry and its uses for deriving point positions (X,Y,Z-coordinates), Digital Elevation Models, Image maps and Topographic Information from airborne
