Geomatics is an amalgam of methods algorithms and practices in handling data referred to the
Earth by informatic tools. This book is an attempt to identify and rationally organize the
statistical-mathematical methods which are common in many fields where geomatics is applied
like geodesy geophysics and in particular the field of inverse problems and image analysis
as it enters into photogrammetry and remote sensing. These lecture notes aim at creating a
bridge between people working in different disciplines and making them aware of a common
methodological basis.
