Course Description

Recent years, Location based systems are the technology that everyone can use every day. The subjects of this course are applications of data acquisition via mobile systems in the field of Emergency Management and Urban Information System. Additionally, there are mobile technologies and applications on sea and land. As known,, While starting the beginning of the twenty - first century, the mapping techniques is rapidly developing and getting easier and cheaper such as mapping by Low - cost UAVs. Mobile mapping systems have integrated sensors and they collect data then define the mobile platform’s 3 dimensional coordinates and also it collects spatial data using GPS support.
