*This course was changed from Advanced Remote Sensing to Introduction to Remote Sensing.

Remote sensing plays a large role in geospatial analysis and the enhancement of geographic information systems. This course provided students with the knowledge and practical experience necessary to develop a thorough understanding of the basic principles, techniques and applications of remote sensing.  Students learned about digital image acquisition, processing, display and analysis with a focus on environmental monitoring and natural resource management.  replica uhren Emphasis was placed on the use of digital satellite image data. Topics included basic air photo interpretation, the electromagnetic spectrum, spectral response curves, sensor and image characteristics, image display, image transformations, image classification and data acquisition. 

Participants should have had introductory knowledge of Geographic Information Systems before attending this course.

Class format: approximately 50% lecture, 50% lab exercises.

Objectives:
1.   Develop an understanding of the basic principles, techniques and applications of remote sensing.
2.   Learn the basics of manual air photo interpretation
3.   Understand the physical basis of multispectral imagery and strength of working with multiple bands.
4.   Learn how to acquire and import multispectral imagery.
