GISC 1775 - Introduction to Remote Sensing

4 Credits

This course introduces students to fundamental and applied concepts in remote sensing. Students will be exposed to a detailed review of the electromagnetic spectrum, atmospheric windows, passive and active sensors, digital image processing techniques (including geometric and radiometric corrections), and image classification methods, among other topics. The ultimate goal of this course is to teach students to become adept at locating and properly processing remotely sensed data so that it is useful in a GIS computing environment while developing a good understand of remote sensing theory and the limitations and strengths of remote sensing. 4C/4/0/0
