Key Facts

 This course introduces students to remotely sensed data collected from airborne and orbital platforms that are widely used in the earth sciences, and the technology used for the analysis of these data is one of the most rapidly growing areas of the earth sciences. This course provides the principles of remote sensing and image interpretation. It also covers some practical work on processing satellite data which includes image display, image enhancement and simple geometric correction techniques of the satellite image. Students are also grouped to undertake lab works in digital image processing for assigned projects. At the end of the course, students will be able to demonstrate and apply knowledge in preparing reports for projects undertaken including accuracy assessments.
