1: Introduction to Remote Sensing
Course Structure: Lectures: 2 /
Labs: 1
Credit Hours:
3
Prerequisites: Nil
Objectives:
This course introduces students to find out how pictures of the
earth's surface are recorded from aircraft and satellites and different ways
these images can be analyzed. Students gain
an understanding of
"common" Remote Sensing products such as earth resources, satellite
images, aerial photographs as well as more sophisticated research tools
such as RADAR and multispectral scanner systems. In this course via field
trips opportunity is provided to assess the usefulness of different types and
scales of remotely sensed data via on the ground comparisons. Basic map
reading skills required for Remote Sensing projects are also covered.
Course Outline: Definition and History, Physical Basis (EM Spectrum,
Energy Interaction, Spectral Reflectance Curves, Image Characteristics)
Introduction
to Aerial Photograph, Sensor Systems (Space and airborne,
MSS, TM, ETM, HRV, LISS, IKONOS-2, Quick bird-2, AVHRR
and others),
Platforms (Types and Orbital Characteristics),Thermal Infrared
(Characteristics, TIR Band Properties, TIR Image Interpretation, Intro to
Microwave (Importance and applications), Digital Image Processing (Over
view of computer based image processing), Applications (agriculture,
urban, natural resources etc.)
Lab Outline: Introduction to labs, Single band image interpretation, False
color predictions, False color composite Images Interpretation, Visual
Interpretation
of aerial photographs, Various sensors data comparison,
Thermal Infrared Image interpretation, Intro to ERDAS Imagine, display,
Geo-linking, Zooming, Identification of targets, FIELD TRIP
