- Course objectives
- At the end of this course, students should be able to understand and be able to explain the following topics: Concepts and foundations of Remote Sensing. Energy sources and radiation principles, energy interactions in the atmosphere and with the Earth surface features. Electromagnetic spectrum and its basic parts used in Remote Sensing. History of Remote Sensing. Ideal and real Remote Sensig system. Methods of Remote Sensing. Spectral reflectance curves. Basic elements of photographic systems. Principles of multispectral images. Multispectral, thermal and hyperspectral scanning. Satellite systems. Basic orbits. Characteristic of Earth resources satellites and Meteorological satellites. Principles of photointerpretation. Principles of photogrammetry and orthophoto. Principles of digital image processing. Utilization of pictures nad images in geographical disciplines. Student should be able to understand basic features of remote sensing data and methods explained in individual lectures. He/she would be able to explain when to apply individual data and make reasoned decisions about preconditions that are necessary for proper utilization of RS methods in question. He/she would be able to work with information on satellite data preparation, make deductions based on acquired knowledge concerning remotely sensed data and properly interpret results of multispectral image classification.
