Description

This course will provide students with a general knowledge of types of spatial information and data base structures and of methods for data analysis, classification and interpolation. Students will acquire skills in the use of Geographical Information Systems and managing spatial data input, verification, storage, and output. Students will also obtain general knowledge of the basic concepts of remote sensing and general radiation theory. They will be exposed to a range of sensors and systems and will obtain a broad knowledge of a wide range of remote sensing applications. The course will provide students with general skills in image processing and image interpretation.
