Course Objectives:

This is an advanced course to photogrammetry built on top of Photo I (FEG 363 /ERE 563).  This course is designed to provide students in-depth knowledge of analytical and digital photogrammetry.  We¡¯re going to explore photogrammetry both theoretically and practically.  The objective of this course includes:

¡¤  Training students to gain solid understanding of modern photogrammetry (analytical and digital photogrammetry) and apply it to spatial data acquisition.

¡¤  Introducing students to digital photogrammetry systems.

¡¤  Exposing students to photogrammetry literature.

Note:                   

(1) Your responsibility includes attending class, reading materials, completing assigned work, participating discussion, preparing for exams, and doing whatever is necessary for truly understanding the subject.  You are free to discuss how to solve a problem with other students in the class, but you are required to do your work on your own.  Students may be asked to repeat work that needs to be improved substantially.

(2) The final exam will be comprehensive, and cover material from the entire semester.

(3) All assignments will be due one week from the day that they are assigned.  Unexpected overdue work will be penalized 10% for each day. 

(4) You are responsible for protecting lab equipment.  

(5) The honor code will be strictly enforced in this class. The faculty and students of ESF will not tolerate any form of academic dishonesty.

(6) If you are a person with a disability and desire assistant devices, services or other accommodations to participate in the class, please contact me.
