This course deals with the concepts and principles of remote sensing and geographic information analysis. The course is designed to provide students from diverse backgrounds with a theoretical basis in spatial phenomena and an understanding of data processing and analysis techniques. Topics include data acquisition, digital image processing, database design, spatial analysis and visualization. The course will be taught in both lectures and practical exercises. In a final project, students will integrate remote sensing and GIS technologies in a practical application. At the end of the course students will have an understanding of how to select or acquire appropriate spatial data and will be able to perform basic digital image processing and spatial analysis tasks.
