2006年1月24日〜26日の日程で、TOPCONさんにAITで講習会を開いて頂きました。欧米には多数出荷しているものの、東南アジアではAITが初めての出荷先ということで、タイ事務所のスタッフだけでなく、東京からもシンガポールからも技術者に来て頂き、10人の講習生にとって充実した講習会となりました。このような高額な機器を購入する予算はAITで確保するのは難しく、JEGのお陰で学生は最新の機器、技術に触れることができました。今後は学生の研究や教育に活用する予定です。
当初、参加希望者が受け入れ数の2倍にも上ったため、参加希望の理由など尋ねて絞り込みました。AITの修士課程に入学する前は、自国のDepartment of Surveyの技術職員であったり、大学で測量を教えていたりした学生も参加していたこともあり、実習、講義共に質の高い講習会となりました。

トレーニングの様子
以下、参加者から寄せられた感想を記載します。
Staff:
very helpful,skillful,kind and energistic
Topcon total station:
quite expensive and some practical uses purpose can not be done by this total station. For example, 3D-Tree model and far distance objects.
PI-3000:
useful and user friendly photogrammetry software to creat 3D model even can use with aerial photoes(in this case no need Total station.) In future, User should test this software for checking accuracy of 3D model and real object.
I got many knowledges about photogrammetry and survey techniques.
Thank you very much for this chanllenge.
The TOPCON training was very interesting. It is regards as a very valuable for me specifically. Regarding to the training, I am much appreciated because I can earn a lot of new concepts in term of surveying.
Even though, it is a shot training period but it seem to me that I got a lot of experiences and regard as a valuable and beneficial training program. I do hope that it will be very helpful for my future profession as well as researches activities.
As it is short time training, therefore the more detail covered of TOPCON components used still has limitation. But the major components of using equipment and its software for professional work is extremely enough.
As my opinion, if the period of the training is more than this. It would be better to get detail understanding and practices. In addition, I am really appreciated and gratitude thanks heartily to the TOPCON training team who are providing a lot of concept, help and knowledge in term of surveying, photogrametry and as well as image processing which are working behind the software especially, providing us with highly cooperation during training time.
I also would like to take this great pleasure opportunity to express heartiest gratitude and appreciations to my advisor Dr. Susaki who always providing me advices and also chances for attending this training as well as research opportunities.
Total station
This equipment should have some laser for automatic measure HI, and should make something that help to find the peg. Because some error comes from error in measure HI.
Solfware
overall it ok.
Trainer staff
ALL Trainers can help trainee so much but should stress in teach step
by step with each trainees. and should prepare the manual of example in using
the solfware.
Conclusion
If we do not have more money,we should to buy only PI-3000 solfware only
and should to concentrate in training the PI-3000 programme.
Three day later form 24th to 26th of Jan (whole days) for studied using Total station (GPT-7001) and 3D digital image processing software (PI-3000), TOPCON Company. I think that it is very good opportunity for me that can be participate to attend in this training. Moreover, I’m very happy and interest for getting new knowledge and many concepts which expert from headquarter in Japan came to train using both equipments.
After I was finished for TOPCON trained, I think that it’s too short in this training and other part using PI-300 software, I don’t know. So, if we can extend more then three day its better. But, it’s extremely enough for me and I will useful these equipments for future purpose on field survey relate with GIS and RS. Therefore, I do hope so that theses kinds training will be happen again.
Anyway, I would like to express my heartily thanks to you that always very kindness to pay much attention and provide the opportunity to attended to me.
About Training
The training covered almost all aspects of Topcon total station; from instrument features to field operations and finally data processing. Trainers were well versed and it was possible to interact closely due to less number of trainees, who were selected.
Both field operation and data processing were systematic and comprehensive. Hands on practice in instrument handling (including leveling and centering of the instrument), camera calibration and practice sessions on easy and standard mode of PI-3000 were very systematic.
Use of instrument (GPT-7005) and Software (PI-3000):
Students of Remote Sensing and GIS Field of Study are usually taught almost everything related to geoinformatics. Data collection is starting point of entire process of GIS and Remote Sensing. This instrument and software would really help students to carry out practical works and use for data collection for Thesis/ Research works.
More and more people are now interested in real time data collection and 3D modeling. This instrument would really help in these fields.
My personal feeling on this program is, that was really successful one and especially I believe that because of the commitment of the instructors towards teaching. According to my view this training program covered almost all the practical aspects of three dimensional modeling using both the Photo Total Station (GPT 7000i) and the PI3000 software. Also through this training program, I could gather some theoretical concepts behind the software and also the instrument. This knowledge will really help full to think about new research ideas base on this software and as well as base on the instrument. Again I would like to thank you for giving me that opportunity.
