To acquire basic and applied knowledge in the field of geodesy, geomatics and geoinformatics.

Acquired knowledge is used in professional courses, as well as in the recognition and in solving the engineering problems.

Lecture content: Basic concepts and definitions. Shape and size of the Earth, and approximations of the geoid using mathematically defined surface. Imaging the Earth on the plane. Types of coordinates on the geoid, ellipsoid and plain. Conventional inertial referential system. Conventional inertial referential framework. Conventional terrestrial referential system. Conventional terrestrial referential framework. Modelling the dot positions. Topocentric referential system. Transformations of referential systems. Measuring in geodesy. Types of errors and their assessment. Angle measurement devices - Angle measurement principles. Devices for measuring length - the principle of measuring the length. Devices for measuring height differences - the principle of measuring height differences. Basic concepts of GPS measurements. Basic concepts on geodetic meshes. Basic concepts of surveying details. Basic concepts of geodetic plans. Practice content: Practical application of presented concepts from lectures.

Teaching forms: lectures, computer practice and auditory, consultations, individual elaboration of compulsory tasks, colloquiums. Knowledge evaluation: guided and individual elaboration of obligatory tasks; tests; final examination in oral form (theoretical and practical).
