General Description
|
Remote sensing is the process of collecting data about objects or landscapes features without coming in direct physical contact with them. Most remote sensing is performed from orbital or sub-orbital platforms using instruments which measure electromagnetic radiation reflected or emitted from the terrain. Remote sensing is a technique that can be used in a wide variety of disciplines, but is not a discipline or subject itself. The primary goal of remote sensing is the pursuit of knowledge and the application of the knowledge gained. This course has three main objectives: 1) to provide students with a comprehensive overview of remote sensing systems and applications, 2) to familiarize students with methods and techniques involved in interpreting aerial photos and satellite images, and 3) to familiarize students with remote sensing hardware and software and introduce students to the concept of digital image processing. |
