Biophysical Remote Sensing

Catalog description

An advanced seminar covering methods and models for retrieving quantitative information about the Earth's surface from remotely sensed data. Topics covered will include inversion techniques for determining surface radiance and reflectance, correction of atmospheric effects, theory of vegetation indices and their use in empirical determination of canopy properties, canopy models and their inversion, and the use of hyperspectral data for retrieval of surface biophysical information.
