Outils geo-informatiques de la représentation spatiale
The students will acquire knowledge and skills on the processing and analysis of satellite imagery, aerial photography and vector data using Geographic Information Systems and Remote Sensing. They will be able to encode digital geospatial information and store it in digital spatial databases, use satellite data to extract quantitative and qualitative information (land use/cover).
Moreover, they will be able to understand modelling methodologies of the terrain by creating digital terrain models. They will also be able to create-visualise the relief, the slope and the aspect of an area in order to enrich Spatial Plans and General Development Plans with physical representations of space.
They will also deepen their knowledge in cartographic principles in order to produce maps at different scales, generalisations and volume of information.
They will also be able to contribute to the construction of three dimensional models depicting specific spatial entities of the environment while making systems and their spatial organisation for the in-depth analysis and determination of spatial factors that will lead to a comprehensive regional development. Thus, they will have the opportunity of combining elevation and thematic information on the creation of three-dimensional interactive representations and virtual flight procedures.
These skills will help the students to acquire knowledge of the state-of-the-art technologies, combining them with the acquired theoretical background. This will give them both the academic and professional precedence in the disciplines of Planning and Regional Development.
