41 • The active participation of students in research projects which are mostly funded by private companies and deal with practical, sometimes development oriented subjects. • The availability of financial support for most of the students, w’hich comes from the external sponsors and companies. Photogramme try courses at all levels have been brought up to date and cover a complete spectrum from basic optics to analytical point positioning methods and digital image analysis. In the advanced courses which are offered for PhD students, a comprehensive coverage of image analysis and digital photogram- metry is achieved. A student wishing to pursue a doctoral degree must be accepted into this program by the Graduate Studies Committee. Acceptance is based on a grade point average of at least 3.4. Students with a degree from other universities may be admitted on an individual basis, taking into account criteria such as TOEFL score, recommendation letters, tran scripts, etc. A minimum of 90 graduate credit hours beyond the Master’s degree is required. Five advanced photogrammetry courses are offered forming the nucleus of the program. The first course exposes students to Spectral Analysis and Raster Geometry. Fourier analysis is applied to optics, signal and image processing, digital halftoning and digital elevation models. Raster geometry summarizes the principles before focusing on dealing with shape, including shape matching and shape recognition. In the course Advanced Photo gramme trie Applications, the emphasis is on applying theory to practical problems in analytical and digital photogrammetry. Students work in small groups, perform a complete project, and thus tire exposed to project management, scheduling, and resource management. Typical projects include (digital) camera calibration, precise point determination with digital cameras, etc. The subject of digital photogrammetry is covered in depth in three advanced courses. Advanced Digital Image Acquisition is concerned with forming an image, digital sensor technology, as well as image acquisition systems including their calibration and quality assessment. The next course, Advanced Methods of Processing Digital Imagery, entails topics such as image enhancement techniques, image restoration, point determination in a controlled environment, stereopsis (human visual system, computer vision paradigm), theory of edge detection, and the correspondence problem. Finally, Advanced Pattern Recognition and Interpretation Methods in Digital Mapping which deals with middle and high level vision topics—from feature extraction to structural descriptions and image understanding. A review is given of the basic concepts of artificial intelligence and expert systems including object oriented languages. To further deepen the material, the courses are supported by extensive exercises carried out in our modem laboratories. Beside the courses mentioned, the students in the PhD program are advised to take courses in electrical engineering (e.g. signal processing, computer vision), mathematics and computer science. More than half of the required 90 credit hours, however, are earned by active participation in current research projects and individual studies. It is noteworthy that students from other universities with a MS degree (or comparable) may be directly admitted to the PhD program, without going through the Master’s program. After the advanced courses are taken, students have to pass the General Examination. Then they can concentrate on individual research topics and write their dissertation which they have to defend before a committee of faculty. Also, after having successfully passed the General Examination, a MS degree is awarded automatically. Alter finishing a degree at our depart ment, graduates have become experts in digital photogrammetry and have the
