Description
This course will examine the interpretation and analysis of environmental images collected from satellite and aerial platforms. Topics covered in this class include an overview of the applications for remotely sensed imagery, basic physics of the detected energy, image processing, image interpretation, and familiarity with the more useful current remote sensing platforms. Upon completion of this course, students will be able to use remote sensing to conduct habitat mapping, land use and land use change monitoring, weather monitoring, and other biophysical measurements. Prerequisite: MATH 112 or higher.
