GIS 811 Advanced Remote Sensing and Image Processing
Campus SCEE (IGIS)
Programs PG
Session Fall Semester 2016
Course Title Advanced Remote Sensing and Image Processing
Course Code GIS 811
Credit Hours 2 + 1
Pre-Requisutes
Course Objectives This course aims at providing students with advanced Remote Sensing analytical techniques required in various applications; how to extract high-level information from RS data. The techniques taught covers coupling of model parameters and remote sensing data for several applications, atmospheric correction, Multi-temporal/Multi-Resolution data analysis, Web Image Server. It also covers Synthetic Aperture Radar technique as well. In the digital image processing part, student will learn to develop and implement their own image processing algorithms for specific applications.
