1 Introduction: Definition and types of remote sensing, Tacheometry (Planimetry/
altimetry), Triangulation (Frame work / adjustment), Trilateration (EDM/ Total
Station), Geodetics (physical/ geometrical geodesy), Error Analysis (causes / law of
weights), Numerical example
2 Photogrammetry: Camera System (phototheodolite/ aircraft), Ground photograph
(oblique/orthogonal streophoto), Aerial photograph ( perspective scale/ flight
planning), distortion (relief / tilt), Geometrix ( parallax / mapping), application
(topographics / interpretation), Numerical examples
3 Satellite survey: Satellite Sensing (Sensors / platforms), energy sources
(electromagnetic / atmospheric interaction), visual interpretation ( Band width),
digital processing (imageries / enhancement), data integration (multi-approach /
GIS), microwave imaging (active system / radars), applications
4 Astronomy: Celestial sphere (star-coordinates / transformation), field astronomy
(azimuth, solar and polar method), 3D computation (local vs global), spherical
trigonometry, Multilateration, Observation, Corrections in astronomy, Correlation of
low, medium, remote objects, Global Positioning Systems
5 Geoinformatics: GIS concept (Introduction/ definition), planning and management,
spatial data model, database and DBMS, linking of attributes, geospatial analysis,
modern trends
