Course objectives
The course is focused on the extension of GIS knowledge about 3D data visualization and modelling (e.g., data formats and its parameters, 3D analysis, simulations etc.). The main focus is devoted to the practical aspects.
Learning outcomes
Students will understand the specifics, advantages and limitations of using 3D data in geoinformatics and cartography.
