GIS 6030 Remote Sensing

Students are instructed in the interpretation and analysis of remotely sensed data. Varied remote sensing systems and/or platforms are discussed along with their respective data. Imagery products are examined for applications and fitness for use (e.g., color-infrared, multispectral scanned imagery, side-looking airborne RADAR/SLAR, thermal infrared, LIDAR, GPR and others). Image and data processing techniques are explored for applications analysis. Sensor networks and newly emerging multi-sensor arrays are also explored. Topics will include: air photo interpretation, satellite systems/data, ship borne systems/data, ground based systems and cyber-systems.
