GC 425 - Remote Sensing Offered Fall: No Offered Winter: Yes Offered Summer: No Offered Other: No 4 Credits Hours (Lecture - Discussion - Lab): 3-0-2 Prerequisites: GC 225 , BI 412 or DATA 109 or GC 235 , and junior standing.
This course introduces fundamental remote sensing topics essential for monitoring the Earth’s resources and characterizing environmental problems. We examine the interaction of electromagnetic radiation with the Earth’s surface and atmosphere, and the platforms used to observe the Earth system. Students will be able to explain and apply digital image processing techniques and their theoretical underpinnings in the context of aerial images, satellite images, LIDAR, unmanned aerial vehicles, and ground-penetrating radar and make appropriate interpretations.
Notes: Field work may be required. Contact instructor for more information.
