Faculty of Geodesy and Cartography - general
characteristics
Historical note The Faculty of Land Surveying
(first name), Poland's oldest scientific research
and teaching institution concerned with geodesy,
began independent activity at Warsaw University
of Technology (WUT) on September 1st, 1921, In
1925 the Faculty became The Faculty of
Geodesy. ... Presently, the Faculty of Geodesy
and Cartography is the only faculty in Poland
covering all problems related to this branch of
science. Its equipment and teaching content are
comparable to those offered by the best geodetic
faculties in Europe.

Faculty of Geodesy and Cartography - general
characteristics

• Studies
• Faculty teaching and research staff 115 persons,
  students 1200
• The Faculty offers two forms of education
• - full-time courses (leading to BSc or MSc
  degrees and postgraduate PhD),
• - extra-mural courses (leading to BSc, MSc, PhD)
  
• other complementary and postgraduate courses.
• Studies leading to an MSc degree give
  opportunities to specialise in the following
  areas
• -    Geodesy and Satellite Navigation,
• -    Engineering Surveying,
• -    Cadastre and Land Management,
• -    Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing,
• -   Cartography and Geographic Information
  Systems,
• - Spatial Information Systems.

Faculty of Geodesy and Cartography

• Selected Research projects
• Project of Ministry of Science and Higher
  Education Elaboration of vector data for
  topographic database and methods of change
  detection based on VHRS data
• active participation in
• Project of liquidation of flood disaster
  effects (World Bank Project)
• elaboration of technical standards for
  topographic database
• creation of LPIS (IACS) conception in Poland

8
Faculty of Geodesy and Cartography

• Preferred areas of research activities in COPAL
  Project
• Photogrammetry
• georeferencing of image data
• Creation of DEM, DTM, 3D city model
• Image processing to create digital ortho
• and true-ortho
• Data acquisition for topographic databases
  building
• Geodesy
• On-line positioning of objects by GPS
  technology
• GPS measurements of topographic objects for
  databases

9
Faculty of Geodesy and Cartography

• Preferred areas of research activities in COPAL
  Project
• Remote Sensing
• monitoring of inland water quality using
  hyperspectral images
• study of lakes eutrophication processes
• study of urban climate using thermal images
• Study of vegetation (spectral characteristics,
  land cover, agricultural crops, good
  agricultural practices, etc)

10
Faculty of Geodesy and Cartography

• Presently used digital image data in research and
  didactic activity
• aerial analogue photographs,
• digital aerial photography,
• laser scanning,
• radar images (aerial and satellite),
• satellite images (with different spatial and
  spectral resolutions),

11
Faculty of Geodesy and Cartography
Expectations from participation in COPAL
Project easier access to diverse types of
digital imaging data what allows to extent and
improve research activity Presently we are
acquiring digital image data (aerial and
satellite images) from commercial
distributors. The purchase costs are in many
cases kind of barrier for conducting the
researches in wider aspects
