GEOG498I

Hey #GeoTerps! Are you interested in big data analysis, modeling, and using LiDAR data to study terrain reconstruction, urban modeling, forest management, and coastal data analysis? If so, check out GEOG498I offered this Spring! See syllabus here.

This course fulfills a 400 Level Technical Elective for GIS majors and can be towards by GEOG majors towards a GIS minor.

Course Learning Objectives:
Upon a successful completion of the course the students will be able to:
• Have in-depth knowledge of fundamentals of algorithms for geospatial data science.
• Learn techniques for efficiently encoding, manipulating and querying geospatial data.
• Gain substantial understanding of how geospatial data are actually processed in modern geographical information systems.
• Learn how to design and implement algorithms dealing with geospatial data, with emphasis on point data processing and analysis and on terrain modeling and analysis.
• Apply algorithms for discrete and continuous geospatial data to LiDAR data processing and analysis.
