Objective
Statistics and Adjustment
Random Error Theory, standard normal, student, chi-square and Fisher distribution, confidence
Intervals, parameter testing, error propagation, weight of observations, linear and non linear
problems solved with Least Squares Method (LSM). For better a understanding small task will be
solved with a computer algebra system (MAPLE).
Reference Systems and Positioning
• Introduction: ITRF, ETRS89, GNSS und GNSS-services. Time-dependent changes and
maintainance of ITRS by the IERS. Classical networks and datum transformations.
• Coordinate Systems: Geocentric cartesian coordinates. Spherical coordinates, geographical
coordinates, con-focal ellipsoidal coordinates. Topocentric coordinates (LGV). Curve lined
coordinate systems on the ellipsoid.
• Inertial and terrestrial reference-systems and -frames: ECIS- and ECES-definitions in
space and time. Definition and characteristics of classical geodetic networks (geodetic datum)
based on astrogeodetic techniques and terrestrial measurements. Reference ellipsoid and
related gravity reference field. Height reference systems und height networks.
• Transitions between coordinate-sytems and -frames: Three-dimensional datum
transitions. Modeling of tectonic plate movements, datum and datum drift in the ITRF.
• Geodetic major tasks: First and second geodetic major task
• GNSS-Positioning: GPS, GLONASS, GALILEO, COMPASS. Satellite navigation message.
Observation types, Observation equations, meteorological modelling, accuracies. RTCMcorrection types und DGNSS-services. Examples and data-processing excercises.
• Map Projection: Map projection standards and types related to geographical coordinates on
the ellipsoid
Learning Target
Statistics and Adjustment
The students should understand the application of statistical approaches on geo data. They are
able to determine confidence intervals and to test parameters regarding significance. Furthermore
they can do data snooping and testing of stochastic and mathematical model. The students have
the ability to apply the LSM onto all over-determined problems of geomatics.
Reference Systems and Positioning
The students get a profound knowledge about the different kind of classical, and the modern global
and dynamic terrestrial reference frame (ITRF/ECEF), the link to the inertial reference frame (ECIF)
and the respective system description, where GNSS-based positioning is an example related to
both systems. Further the representation of the earth’s gravity field and the gravity reference
system (GRS80) are treated, so that the students understand the realization of modern height
reference frames and the principle of GNSS-heighting. All above topics are important both for
modern GNSS and modern terrestrial geo-referencing in the ITRF, and for the transition to and in
between any other frame. The treated coordinate systems related to the ellipsoid, the mapping and
inverse mapping of geographical coordinates, and geodetic major tasks enable the students to
solve basic tasks in terrestrial and in GNSS-based positioning and georeferencing, in navigation
tasks, and again in problems related to the transition between different frames. The chapter GNSSbased positioning enables the students to classify, to apply and to specialize, in professional life
and in further lectures, the use of different receiver technologies, related signal types, GNSS
correction data, as well as different kind of GNSS-processing strategies and algortihms for an
absolute and a differential GNSS positioning in different accuracy levels (10 m to 1 mm). Exercises
with related geodetic software and GNSS-receivers complete the stuff with respect to practical
applications and further studies.

Construction of Spatial Models and Topology
The students should get knowledge about the available data sources for location based services,
the requirements on the data and the general methods to prepare data for lbs applications, the
hard- and software requirements and user interfaces. They are competend in evaluating geo data
referring to their usability for location based services.
Visualisation and Application of Location Based Services
The students should get an overview about the visualisation of spatial data with cartographic
methods, which are necessary to introduce location based services for a wide range of applications
and to get a high acceptance from the users. On the basis of application examples the students
develop a location based service for a special subject in the field of in-car-navigation or tourist
information for a given mobile device. They have to plan and to run a location based servicesproject in a team. Students increase their competence in the field of location based services and
they improve their ability to work in a project group.

Learning Target
Satellite Geodesy
After a short revision of the basics of satellite geodesy the student gets a deep insight and essential extension concerning the mathematical and physical foundations, algorithms and concepts
in the essential fields of satellite geodesy. As concerns GNSS-based positioning (geometrical satellite geodesy), the topics of reference frames, GNSS data-acquisition, algorithms and datprocessing, software and RTCM-corrections are treated with respect to the state of the art and
upcoming redesign of GNSS-positioning infrastructure and algorithms due to the modernisation of
existing GNSS (third frequency, increase of signal strength, SSR) and the new systems GALILEO
and COMPASS). Another focus is set on the foundation and methods of satellite-based gravity field
determination (dynamical satellite geodesy). Further VLBI, satellite altimetrie and respective dataprocessing models are treated.
The student will be able to work in the full spectrum of satellite geodesy as consulting expert, in
industrial and technological developments, redesign of GNSS infrastructure, algorithms and
systems, as well as in research institutions.
Geodetic Monitoring
The students learn about the present profile, the hard- , software- and communications-design and
intensively the mathematical models of scaleable multi-sensor geodetic monitoring systems. The
application domains are geodynamics, geology and geotechnics, monitoring of constructions and
buildings, distaster prevention and early warning. The full spectrum of mathematical models for
different estimation concepts in deformation networks, observation and coordinate related adjustment approaches, as well as quality control and statistically based concepts for forecasting and
alert setting in realtime (e.g. displacement estimation, Kalmanfilter) are treated. The lectures are
accomplished by exercises with the systems GOCA and MONIKA in real-data environment.
The student will be able to work in the full spectrum of satellite geodesy as consulting expert, in industrial and technological developments, in system and software architecture and development in
industry, as well as in research institutions.

Learning Target
Mathematical Geodesy
In the chapter interpolation and prediction the students learn about Kernel-based methods, Kriging,
collocation and the unification. The selected problems in datum transition and plate movements the
classical similarity transformation is leaded back to the rotation problem round on space axes, and
from this the Euler-Plate Model. Further the Molodenski approach of a 3D similarity transformation
is treated, as well as the formulation of continuity equations here. The height reference surfaces
chapter is dealing with the DFHBF-approach, continuity modelling and the extension of the approach to physical observations The chapter on advanced map projection is dealing the general derivation of distortions and the of conformal map-projection concept based on Cauchy-Riemann’s
differential equation theory. The chapter of numerical integration treats the different approaches
and their application to mathematical geodesy. Following the decoupling of the differential equations of Legendre by a variable transformation, the numerical integration is applied to the solution
st
of the 1 geodetic major task.
Adjustment
The chap. on sequential adjustment procedures is dealing with different procedures for the treatment of modification of the Gauß-Markov Model concerning the functional and stochastical model.
The chap. on integrated and quasi integrated geodesy is dealing with the modelling of different kind
of sensor observations in the 3D geometry and the gravity space. The chap. on generalized MEstimation is based on the maximum likelihood estimation theory, and sets a main focus on robust
estimation for linear and non-linear model, and special cases like robust Kalmanfiltering and L1norm. The numerical solution procedures for generalized M-estimation are also treated. The adjustment of free networks is based of the theory of generalized inverses for singular normal equations,
followed by the derivation of the S-transformation and the relation to the Helmert-transformation
and the so-called “inner solution” of free networks. The next chap. defines measures to quantify
and to describe in the coordinate space the distortions of parameters and geodetic networks due to
deterministic and stochastic errors, which leads to special and generalized eigenvalue problems
Further theory of the contribution of single observations to different groups of parameters is
treated.

Human Geography
The aim of the course is to give students fundamental knowledge in selected sections of Human
Geography and nearby disciplines. Students should be able to understand and to evaluate
temporal spatial processes which are responsible for changes on the global, regional and local
level. They should learn that geographical knowledge is not - and should not attempt to be - static
and detached from what is going on in the world, but is rather dynamic and profoundly influenced
by events, struggels and politics beyond university life.
Navigation
The students shall get an overview about navigation principles, navigation models and the most important navigations systems (GNSS, INS, celestial, and others). Because of the trend of miniaturisation of navigation sensors (MEMS-sensors) in applications and in development the students
learn about the mathematical models of sensor integration, in order to be able to carry on navigation developments in industry and in research.
Facility Management
The students understand the basics of the Facility Management and Computer Aided Facility
Management. They know the appropriate data models, the data acquisition methods and
presentation forms. The students are able to develop data models for. They can convert these
models in a CAFM system, generate relevant queries and visualize the results according to
demanded standards.

Learning Target
Introduction to Navigation Technologies and Mobile GIS
At first the different navigation and georeferencing systems and parameterizations are discussed.
Students learn the global and local reference systems and the link to the navigation sensor,
platform, and object system and the corresponding mathematical models and parameterizations
know. In the following are the models of navigation state description, sensor data fusion and state
estimation are treated. In this context of sensor data fusion, modeling of the physical sensor data
from GNSS, MEMS, optical and other sensors are also part of the lecture. Students learn about the
various mathematical models and algorithmics for designing multi-sensor multi-platform systems
for different out-/Indoor-technologies and applications in navigation and geo-referencing. These
include algorithms, software and systems for geo-referencing and out-/indoor navigation, deep and
tight coupling of GNSS, MEMS and camera sensor data, modeling, and self-calibration of
distributed sensors and platform navigation. Navigation of people, ground-/water/air/-robotics and
manned systems. Mobile computing and mobile GIS, algorithms and applications for smartphones,
tablets with any sensor hardware. The students can make appropriate system developments and
be active both in research and in industry related to the above mobilty technologies.
Navigation Technologies and Mobile GIS Development
The students learn to apply the mathematical models in order to develop algorithms and software
for the realization multisensor-systems for different various positioning, navigation (people, vehicles
and goods), geo-referencing, mobile GIS tasks concernin. The developments take place in the
laboratory for GNSS & Navigation and the computer pool. As concern the sensors and hardware
these are based on GNSS/MEMS sensors, which available directly on smartphones/or and tablets,
on external sensors (e.g. GNSS) and on data communication infrastructures and standard (.e.g
Blue Tooth). So the students can even use partly their own hardware for the tasks of complex
software and algorithmic developments. The software developments are based on Java (typically
under eclipse), and the use open-source software (e.g RTKLIB, KITTI) and non-open software.
