The class deals with the surveying of land and buildings by means of geomatic techniques, such as photogrammetry, including drone surveying, and laser scanning.
Attention is paid to the planning, realization and processing of measurement campaigns, and to the interpretation of the deriving results.
The class provides students with the basic knowledge of laser scanner and photogrammetric surveying, also by drone, integrated with topographic techniques for surveying and monitoring. The class is intended as a cue for continuous professional updating considering the rapid evolution that topographic surveying instrumentation and techniques require.
At the end of the class, students will have acquired the theoretical-practical tools for surveying and monitoring the built environment and the infrastructures framed in the territory by means of photogrammetry (also from drone) and laser scanner, supported with the topographic framing techniques already acquired in the Elementi di Geomatica 1 (GNSS) and Elementi di Geomatica 2 (total station) classes.
In particular, students will be able to:
Students will also exercise and develop the following transversal skills and competences (soft-skills):
The class will therefore enable the Open Badges related to the previously mentioned soft-skills:
Concepts provided in Elementi di Geomatica 1 and Elementi di Geomatica 2 classes.
Lectures (18 hours) and exercises (14 hours), the latter relating both to the field survey experience and the processing of the resulting data and the first critical analysis, to be carried out in small groups (2-4 students).
The instrumental and computer exercises are particularly useful for a first contact with topographic instrumentation, both hardware and software. The phases of processing and analysis of the data resulting from the measurement campaign will also contribute to the acquisition of the ability to critically evaluate the entire surveying process (from design to the restitution of products), providing students with the tools to identify the most suitable topographic instrumentation for the context and the necessary processing to obtain the expected result, also in relation to the metric resolution of the original data and the expected precision.
The course is held in Italian but references in English are available on request.
Students who have a valid certification of physical or learning disability recorded at the University and who wish to discuss possible accommodations or other circumstances relating to lectures, courses and examinations should contact both the lecturer and Prof. Federico Scarpa (federico.scarpa@unige.it), the Polytechnic School disability contact person.
For further details, please refer to the course AulaWeb page (https://aulaweb.unige.it).
Working students are advised to contact the lecturer at the beginning of the teaching in order to agree on teaching and examination arrangements that, while respecting the teaching objectives, take into account individual learning methods.
The class complements the knowledge of the main surveying methodologies already covered in Elementi di Geomatica 1 and Elementi di Geomatica 2 classes by introducing photogrammetry (including drone) and laser scanning.
The focus will be on the theoretical explanation of the techniques, the instruments and their operating methods, and on the description and use of data processing software. The criteria and methodologies useful for the optimal design and execution of a measurement campaign, both for surveying and monitoring, will be illustrated. The techniques of processing, restitution and critical analysis of the results of geomatic surveying/monitoring campaigns will also be addressed, with particular attention to the possibility of integration between surveying techniques.
The integrated measurement campaign, carried out using the different geomatics techniques, will allow for an initial operational experience.

Oral examination with presentation (using slides) and discussion of the application realised by the students in small groups (2-4 components), including critical analysis of the results.
During the examination, knowledge of the theoretical concepts of the teaching will also be assessed.
The examination consists of an oral test in which students present (using slides) and discuss the results of the performed measurement campaign.
The final grade takes into account the quality of the work carried out in group, in terms of processing techniques, performed analyses and strategies for solving any problems encountered, and the critical discussion of the obtained results, as well as the expository capacity, technical language property and knowledge of theoretical concepts.
It is preferable, but not mandatory, that the processing, analysis and return of data is carried out in small groups of 2-4 students.
It is preferable, but not mandatory, that the entire group takes the examination in the same round.
It is requested that the slides of the presented application are delivered during the examination, either by sending them by email or by Microsoft Teams or by delivering them via an informatic device.
