Course Summary
|
This course is designed to
introduce
students to remote sensing of the environment by discussing the
fundamental
characteristics of electromagnetic radiation, how energy interacts
with
the atmosphere and Earth's surfaces, and ways this energy is
recorded by instruments. Meaningful ways to extract geophysical
information from remote sensing data
to
solve environmental problems are also emphasized. Digital image processing techniques and algorithms involved in the measurement, analysis and interpretation of electromagnetic energy collected by remote sensing instruments are demonstrated through in-class demonstrations and hands on exercises using Leica's ERDAS Imagine image processing system. The course is taught every other fall semester (even years). |
