Course description
The main content of this lecture is the theoretical introduction of basic concepts and methods related to the collection, processing, storage, visualization, and analysis of geospatial information.
Taking advantage of many years of research and development experience in surveying and GIS fields at an aerial surveying company, I will introduce various applications related to the theories.
Through reports, students will acquire the ability to discover, analyze and solve social problems in regions and cities by applying the spatial technologies what they have learned during the lecture.
Purpose of class
