Kavanagh Course Website Internet Course Grading (Subject to minor changes) Labs/Assign/Quiz(s) = 15% Term Report = 15% Mid-Term Examination = 15% Final Examination = 55% (Note: Students must pass either the midterm or the final to receive a passing grade.) 1
3 COURSE INFORMATION Additional Information You must receive a grade of 50% or higher in at least one of the midterm or final exams in order to achieve a passing grade in this course. All assigned laboratory work is mandatory. Failure to attend or complete any of the labs will result in a final grade of less than 50% for the course unless alternate arrangements are specifically approved by the instructor. Alternate times to write midterm examinations will not be considered except in the case of illness or a conflict with other pre-approved university related activities. In the case of illness, the instructor must be notified within three days of the scheduled exam date. Students writing the midterm exam at an alternate time will be required to sign an affidavit stating that they have not discussed the exam with anyone else. Alternate times to write final examinations cannot be accommodated. If a student misses a final exam, application must be made to the Dean's office to write a deferred exam. Students planning on registering with the office for Disability Services for Students (DSS) must do so by the designated cut-off date. In addition, it is the student s responsibility to request exam accommodations by the deadlines listed on the DSS website ( 2

5 1.0 INTRODUCTION Geomatics and Geomatics Engineering (U of Calgary Definition) A modern discipline, which integrates acquisition, modeling, analysis, and management of spatially referenced data (data identified according to their locations). Based on the scientific framework of geodesy, geomatics uses terrestrial, marine, airborne, and satellite-based sensors to acquire spatial and other data. It includes the process of transforming spatially referenced data from different sources into common information systems with welldefined accuracy characteristics. 4
6 1.0 INTRODUCTION The term geomatics was apparently coined by B. Dubuisson in the year 1969 from the combination of geodesy and geoinformatics terms. It includes the tools and techniques used in: land surveying remote sensing cartography Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GPS, GLONASS, GALILEO, COMPASS) photogrammetry and related forms of earth mapping. Originally used in Canada, because it is similar in French and English, the term geomatics has been adopted by the International Organization for Standardization, the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors, and many other international authorities, although some (especially in the United States) have shown a preference for the term geospatial technology. (Wikipedia) 5
7 1.0 INTRODUCTION Geomatics uses knowledge coming from several disciplines such as: Geodesy: terrestrial, celestial, and orbital coordinate systems measurements Positioning and Navigation: e.g. with GPS Geographical Information Systems: (computer systems capable of assembling, storing, manipulating, and displaying geographically referenced information) Digital Imaging: how to extract useful information from images according to the application, e.g. environmental studies or agricultural studies and mapping (how to make the maps of tomorrow) using Photogrammetry (airborne photographs) or remote sensing (images taken by satellite sensors) Land Tenure Systems: (land information managing, land surveying, land right). 6
