Academy of Technical and
Art Applied Studies Belgrade

Photogrametry and Remote Sensing Course code: FTGM | 6 ECTS credits

Basic information
Level of Studies: Undergraduate applied studies
Year of Study: 3
Semester: 5
Requirements: Fulfilling minimum of pre-examination requirements from the courses: Fundamentals of photogrametry, Geodetic plans and Computer application.
Goal: Broadening the knowledge and skills of using remote sensing surveys (aerial and satellite) for obtaining geometric and non-geometric information about space. Remote sensing teaches how both, geometric information and information of non-geometrical nature can be collected by measuring and analyzing aerial and satellite images. Using close range photo and digital surveys provides geometrical information on the surveyed terrain or structure.
Outcome: The course Photogrammetry and remote sensing contributes to modern professional training by educating geodetic professionals in the application of new geodetic technologies. In addition to conventional surveying methods of measurement, this course enables students to acquire knowledge and skills of the use of images of a terrain or structure to obtain geodetic products provided byclassical geodesy.
