Green Industrial Engineering for Sustainable Development (Campus Latina)

VALERIO BAIOCCHI

Students are expected to master the basics of GIS techniques, GNSS data processing and the basics of geometric processing of satellite images

Attendance to the course does not require any prerequisites to be passed, but knowledge of the fundamental concepts of topography and a good command of some basic mathematical topics, such as matrix products and calculation of derivates.

Module 1 - Numerical Cartography, the following topics are covered:
Recalls of geodesy - Geoid, Ellipsoid, Coordinate systems, definition of the main DATUMs used in the territory.
territory.
Recalls of traditional cartography - the main projections, Gauss representation, cartographic systems
Gauss-Boaga, UTM-WGS84-ETRF89, UTM-ED50.
Digital cartography - description of raster and vector digital cartography formats. Raster format:
file structure and type, geometric and radiometric resolution; vector format: geometric primitives,
attributes and topological relations. Notes on data acquisition in raster and vector format.
Products, services and EU INSPIRE directive - cartographic products and services of the Istituto Geografico Militare; cartographic products available at regional level.
EU INSPIRE directive and the National Geoportal: WCS, WMS, WFS and coordinate conversion services,
WFS and coordinate conversion services

Module 2 - GIS software for CN management, basic operations.
Georeferencing of raster files - conformal, affine, projective and polynomial transformations; resampling of rater files with Neural methods.
resampling of raster files with the methods Nearest Neighbor, Bilinear interpolation, Cubic interpolation and
interpolation, Cubic interpolation.
Datum and coordinate transformations - the change from geographical to Cartesian coordinates (and vice versa);
Transformations between datums, Helmert and Molodensky formulas.
Digital terrain models - DTM (Digital Terrain Model), DEM (Digital Elevation Model), DSM (Digital Surface Model).

TEACHING MATERIALS BY THE TEACHER
Available on the course page hosted on elearning.uniroma1.it

Recommended optional texts
- Federica Migliaccio, Daniela Carrion, "Geographic information systems: principles and applications",
UTET university
- Peter A. Burrough, Rachael A. McDonnell and Christopher D. Lloyd, "Principles of Geographical
Information Systems, Oxford University Press.

Teaching will be delivered in face-to-face, remote or blended modes in accordance with the University's current regulations.

Students are free to attend or prepare on the material made available on the course web page hosted by elarning.uniroma1.it.
The programme and examination procedures are the same for both attending and non-attending students.

Generally, three questions are asked on three different topics, each of which has the same value, so 10 points on the final result.
However, the student must demonstrate at least a basic knowledge of all three topics otherwise the examination is failed.
