Geospatial Science: Remote Sensing
University of Alaska Fairbanks
This course conveys geospatial remote sensing concepts starting with the basics of imaging and geospatial data. It introduces airborne remote sensing and provides an introduction to multispectral imagery. It discusses stereo-photogrammetry and summarizes advanced remote sensing methods such as synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and hyperspectral sensing.
About this Course
Starting with the basics of imaging, we will discuss concepts and functionality of airborne remote sensing and provide an introduction to multispectral imagery and the electromagnetic spectrum. The course will also introduce visualization of 3D mapping on earth from images including stereo-photogrammetry and discuss earth observation, advanced remote sensing methods such as synthetic aperture radar (SAR), and hyperspectral sensing.
