Week 4 guest speakers #10

Closed rvosa closed 6 years ago

In the final week of the course there will not be a lot of lectures (see #12) and no assignments, as the final exam (#11) will be in that week, which means the final day won't be a lecture, the day before will be free for study and the one before that will be for contact hours. This leaves only two days, one of which will be for general wrap-up, and one for an inspiring two-part lecture about "4D data", slated for 19/12 between 9:00-9:45, then a break, and then continued 10:00-10:45.

The general idea is that we will get to think about how various data acquisition techniques (e.g. LIDAR, photogrammetry, other types of scanning) can be used to construct 3D models (e.g. of a paleontological dig, of geological features, or of vegetation) that change through time. Apart from a lot of eye candy, this lecture would also include information about data integration challenges (e.g. anchoring 3D observations) as well as data management challenges (e.g. volumes).
