CIVL 5214 - Intro to Remote Sensing

Remote sensing is a tool used by scientists to study objects or phenomena through the analysis of data acquired remotely. It has been widely used by earth scientists to study space- related issues on the earth’s surface. This course aims to expose students to one of the advanced geo-spatial technologies, remote sensing. The course will introduce the acquisition, analysis, and utilization of remote sensing data in performing geo-spatial studies. It will also cover an introduction to the concepts and methods in digital image processing.
