About

Photogrammetric technology is trained on modern digital workstations including sophisticated analytical systems. The focus lies on the processing chain of aerial photographs: scanning, automated aero triangulation, acquisition of digital elevation models, orthoimage generation, and topographic and thematic mapping. Gaining experience in working with alternative data sources of increasing importance like high resolution remote sensing satellites, radar, and airborne laser scanning rounds off the modern photogrammetric education. In the field of geoinformatics, the main topics are acquisition, storage, analysis, retrieval, and display of spatially related data concerning both the Earth's physical features and the built-up environment. Important parts of the postgraduate course â€“ all of them accompanied by intensive training â€“ include studying the methods for data modelling in geoinformation systems and designing and handling diverse databases, GIS data formats, and GIS customisation (including its programming). Dealing with the most recent developments in topics such as World Wide Web technologies, 3D visualisation, and the integration of GIS and photogrammetry prepare the participants of the course for the future. The Accreditation Agency for Study Programmes in Engineering, Informatics, Natural Sciences and Mathematics e.V. (ASIIN) has accredited the Master's programme Photogrammetry and Geoinformatics. In addition, this Master's programme has achieved excellent results, evaluated as a "Premium Seal" programme in a report written on behalf of the DAAD in 2009. Moreover, it has successfully established itself as a leader in teaching, receiving students from all over the world.
