Computing Resources
Surveying Applications and GIS Laboratories, Rooms 401A and 401D
The School has two PC laboratories for general undergraduate
student usage. Postgraduates have priority in room 401D.
The Survey Applications Laboratory consists of twenty four personal
computers, a laser printer, four A3 size digitisers, four A3 size
plotters and one A1 size plotter. The laboratory is primarily
used for undergraduate studies (teaching & learning), for
processing and production of survey plans from date collected
in the field, etc. Computers are installed with CIVILCAD, Arcview,
and other commercial and in-house software packages for word processing,
computer programming, GPS processing and EDM data reduction.
The GIS Laboratory is a research computing laboratory with eight personal computers and one A1 size plotter.
Image Analysis Laboratory, Room 402A
The Image Analysis laboratory is used for undergraduate and graduate
teaching, and for research in digital photogrammetry, computer
assisted mapping, synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data processing,
and image processing. Facilties include: an ADAM MPS-2 analytical
stereoplotter for small format photography; a digital photogrammetric
workstation for map production from scanned photographs or satellite
imagery; electronic cameras for automatic and semi-automatic photogrammetric
measurement systems. There are also a number of personal computers
and workstation computers running GIS and InSAR software packages.
Satellite Navigation and Positioning Laboratory, Room 413
The SNAP laboratory is used for postgraduate research. It is
well equipped with a wide variety of GPS equipment, several Software
Development Kits, inertial navigation sensors, pseudolites, wireless
comms and UHF radio equipment, and a range of ancillary equipment
to support research into GPS and other wireless location technologies.
The laboratory also has a range of GPS software systems, many
developed in-house, as well as the GAMIT and Bernese software
packages.
