PTR5003 - Spatial Information Fundamentals
 

Professors PhDs. Edvaldo Simões da Fonseca Junior e Mariana Abrantes Giannotti
mondays from 09h00 to 12h00


Objectives: To present the basic concepts of GIS, Remote Sensing, Geodesy and Cartography. - Provide the student with the minimum competence to follow the disciplines of Sub-Area of Spatial Information.

 

justification:  The area of spatial information home to wide variety of concepts, methods and technologies aimed at surveying, modeling and implementation of GIS, use of remote sensing image and positioning and control for engineering systems. The project phases, leasing, execution and control of engineering works fundamentally depend on a reference and a basemap.

 

The transport area is mainly benefiting from the positioning systems and GIS for the control and operation of fleets and remote sensing images for urban planning and transport. The course aims to give an overview of these concepts and present the main foundations that provide the student Transportation Engineering the necessary knowledge to follow specific subjects. 

 

Content:  1. Basic concepts of Geodesy and Cartography, with application in Engineering 2. Benchmarks terrestrial and celestial Cartesian; altimetry systems 3. Geocoding - NBR's 4. Basic concepts of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) 5. Introduction to positioning system GPS satellite 6. Basic concepts of orbital remote sensing and sensor systems 7. Basic concepts of geographic information systems

DISCIPLINES POSTGRADUATE

PTR5776 - Fundamentals of Geodesy
 

Professor PhD. Denizar Blitzkow

Tuesdays from 09h00 to 13h00

Objectives: Present a historical review of Geodesy and development emphasizing the three key stages: spherical, ellipsoid and geoid. Provide concepts of the geodetic reference systems, geometry of the ellipsoid and scientific altitudes. Show the revolution of space methods compared to classic Geodesy. Present the reference celestial and terrestrial Cartesian. Conceptualize observations to quasars. Provide the basic knowledge to obtain the orthometric height from a geoid model.

 

Justification:  The Geodesy Geometrical gained a new emphasis to the Space Age. The geodetic positioning three-dimensional and, therefore, the establishment of geodetic reference networks, can be conducted more easily through artificial satellites. Hence the need to emphasize the geometric concepts of Geodesy from a vision to modern technology of space technology.

 

Content:  Historical aspects: Spherical phase, ellipsoidal phase geoid phase. Ellipsoid geometry. Equation, bending radii: meridian section and 1 vertical. Length meridian an arc of ellipse. Geodetic and low latitude. ellipsoid parameters: WGS-84, ITRF. Geodetic latitude and longitude.

 

coordinate transportation: Puissant formulas. Electronic polygonal modern point of view: ellipsoidal reference and local topographical surface. altimetry Reference: mean sea level and its variation in time. scientific altitudes, orthometric height, normal altitude. leveling. The gravimetric and leveling. System normal altitude: advantage and disadvantage. Altitude obtain from a geoid model and GPS observations.
