Content and learning outcomes

Course contents

Quality aspects of geodata

- Error propagation and hypothesis test

- Least-square equalisation of measurement data

- Observation equations and linearisation

- Time series analyses in frequency domain: Fourier analysis, wavelet analysis

- Time series analyses in time domain: autoregression, curve fitting, interpolation, change detection

Intended learning outcomes

On successful completion of the course, the student should show to be able to:

- assess different quality aspects of geodata

- evaluate geodata quality by means of the law of error propagation

- carry out least-square equalisation of measurement data

- apply different methods to analyse time series from measurements

Literature and preparations

Specific prerequisites

Knowledge in Geodetic Surveying corresponding to at least 1,5hp within course AG1818 Geodetic Surveying.

Literature

You can find information about course literature either in the course memo for the course offering or in the course room in Canvas.

Examination and completion

Grading scale

A, B, C, D, E, FX, F

Examination

  • TEN1 - Written examination, 3.0 credits, grading scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F
  • LAB1 - Computational work, 3.0 credits, grading scale: P, F

Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.

The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.

If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.

Other requirements for final grade

Approved examination (TEN1, 3.0 higher education credits)

Passed labs (LAB1, 3.0 higher education credits)
