Remote Sensing Systems

Catalog description

Design, analysis, and calibration of electromagnetic remote sensing systems. Combines an introduction to atmospheric radiative transfer and wave propagation principles with detailed coverage of radiometry and optical detectors to analyze remote sensing systems. The course considers the full electromagnetic spectrum, but emphasizes optical systems at ultraviolet, visible, and infrared wavelengths, including cameras, spectrometers, radiometers, polarimeters, multispectral and hyperspectral imagers, laser radars, etc
