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.
