  5. Purpose This course is designed to introduce principles and applications of remote sensing, and basic techniques of digital image processing. Remote sensing technology is essential for modern spatial analysis in order to identify features and phenomena at the surface of the Earth. Remote sensing has been used for research and applications in a wide range of disciplines such as geography, archaeology, engineering, geology, urban studies, forestry, agriculture, and homeland security. The course should benefit students who are interested in pursuing a career in any of these disciplines.

  6. This course has a lecture component and a lab component. Both components are presented at an introductory level. The lecture will cover basic principles and applications of remote sensing. These include the basic laws of energy, the interaction between the energy and Earth surface, remotely sensed data and the major sensor systems, basic techniques for image enhancement and image classification, classification accuracy assessment, and applications of remote sensing.

  7. Labs A series of laboratory exercises will help students understand the lecture materials and gain hands-on experience in digital image processing. ENVI will be used as the primary software. Digital images of various spatial, spectral, and geographic characteristics will be used for the lab exercises. These images include Thematic Mapper (TM), Multispectral Scanner (MSS), SPOT, MODIS, IKNOS, and digital aerial photographs. The labs are designed to familiarize students with the following techniques: basic understanding of ENVI, remotely sensed imageries and satellite systems, data access through web sites, image rectification, image enhancement,  image classification, and accuracy assessment.

  8. Recommended Journals • Photogrammetric Engineering and Remote Sensing • Remote Sensing of Environment • International Journal of Remote Sensing • ISPRS Journal of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing • GeoCarto International • ASPRS/ACSM Annual Meeting and Convention

  9. Prerequisite The course is open to graduate students or senior undergraduate students. Basic algebra is required to help understand the principles of remote sensing. Basic statistics are preferred.
