Course Description

This course represents an extension of GPHY 242, with an in-depth examination of image processing techniques for information extraction. Topics include remote sensor technology, image enhancement, classification, change detection, radiometric and geometric correction and sources and applications of remote sensing data.

NOTE Enrollment limited to 40 students.

Learning Outcomes

  1. Compare how electromagnetic radiation reveals physical properties in passive and active remote sensing systems.
  2. Assess whether the source, scale, resolution, and analysis of remotely sensed data is adequate to describe environmental phenomena.
  3. Integrate remotely sensed data with other data sources to perform spatio-temporal analyses.
  4. Recognize the limitations of remotely sensed data to explain environmental phenomena.
