ENST 5316 Remote Sensing for Environmental Monitoring
Credits:
3
Description:
The aim of this course is to explore advanced techniques in remote sensing, digital image analysis, processing and interpretation. Depending on the interest of the student, applications for classification and monitoring of terrestrial landscapes may include the use of polarimetric radar data, object-oriented classification algorithms or hyperspectral data analysis techniques. Tools for remote sensing field validation will include the use of field spectroradiometers, global positioning systems, weather stations, and indirect leaf area index instruments.
