Doctoral study graduate (Ph.D.) in specialization Geodesy and Cartography is linked up to the magister degree of Geodesy and Cartography.
The study programme offers two specializations: Geodesy, and Cartography. Doctoral student has to absorb required amount of enlarged mathematical-physical basic knowledge. In addition he has to pass through the subjects of special applied basis including the methods of measurement, the evaluation, and analysis of geodetic and cartographic data, the physical geodesy, the satellite and space geodesy, geographic and cartographic information systems and others. Further subjects are added according to scopes of the dissertation thesis. Firstly it concerns the fields of geodetic controls, engineering geodesy, global positioning systems, photogrammetry and remote sensing, cadastre of real estates, digital cartography, and others. In course of doctoral studies the graduate adopts methodology of scientific work, and gets deep theoretical and language knowledge which qualifies him for individual creative scientific activity. Doctoral study graduate in specialization Geodesy and Cartography can be employed in development and research institutions of appropriate specialization, and also as academic staff at universities.

2. Design of GIS interface for automatic assignment of projects

   The goal is to design an interface for automated assignment of projects in geographic information systems (GIS). The concept of interface will contain a link to the current legal and local regulations for specific classes of projects. The limitations of the legislation and regulations resulting demands on data sets and a set of spatial analytic functions that implement a substantial part of the processing chain in GIS.

3. Full-wave anyalysis and processing of laser scanner

   Scanners (from Riegl, airborne and terrestrial acquired for AdMaS) capable of digitizing the waveform of the reflected wave from the surface of the object. Waveform is possible to decompose and model by mathematical functions, allowing the more advanced classification points of the surface of the scanned object.

4. Geometrical accuracy in building industry

   The theme of the work is the issue of the geometric accuracy construction. The methodology will be resolved by the check measurement of geometric parameters of structures using the geodetic measurement technology (robotic total stations, GNSS, laser scanning, etc.) and their documentation as part of the construction quality. Part of the solution is the analysis of the product standards (the Eurocodes) in terms of the geometric accuracy of the structures in the context setting out standards.

5. Geophysical methods of determining the parameters of the general disturbing bodies

   For an explanation of the origin of the disturbing gravitational of the Earth, it is possible to develop new methods for the determination of the parameters of the general disturbing bodies under the Earth's surface. It is possible to develop a three-dimensional method for solving inverse problems gravimetry. You can use the measurement of GPS/levelling, Earth's gravitational models and the various data of geodetic and geophysical satellites.

6. The General Assembly of the International Geodetic and Geophysical Union decides in 06.2015 to initiate the building of the World Height System (WHS). Each country will then develop a method to conection its local vertical datum to WHS. For the Czech Republic it is therefore necessary to develop a conversion method for connection of vertical datum Bpv to WHS.
