Introduction to Remote Sensing

Catalog description

Remote sensing is an important source of environmental information that can support a deeper understanding of trends and clarify management strategies in a wide range of ecological application. Focuses on the application of satellite and aerial/drone remote sensing in environmental science and management. With this basic background, course participants use remote sensing data to make spatial decision. Presents the concepts of biodiversity and wildlife management parallel to the remote sensing information. Image processing instruction and exercises begin with an analysis of digital imagery and proceed through the three broad classes of processing techniques: preprocessing, enhancement and information extraction.
