Synopsis:

The course contains basic information on methods of collecting, sorting and evaluating geomatic-geographic data, methodology of creating studies and modelling in geomatics with a focus on regional applications concerning the world and the Czech Republic. The innovated environment focuses mainly on methods of geospatial data collection and acquisition (photogrammetry, DPZ, RPAS, basic geographic data base of the Czech Republic - ZABAGED and today's new data warehouses, services and geographic information such as Google Earth, map warehouses, satellite data of global character, data collection from free satellite systems).

The course contains basic information on methods of collecting, sorting and evaluating geographic data, methodology of creating geographic studies and geographic modelling with a focus on regional applications related to the Czech Republic. Basic orographic, demographic, economic, political information, etc. Information needed for studying large geosystems and their visualization by cartography and remote sensing methods. Comprehensive preparation of a geographical study of a selected foreign region. Basic geographic data base of the Czech Republic - ZABAGED.
