Description


Introduction to geometric and spectral properties of remotely sensed images. Analogue and digital images - photography, electro-optical and microwave systems. Introduction to the physics of visible, infrared and microwave remotely sensed imagery. Atmospheric effects. Image geometry - central projection, scan and microwave systems. Concept of stereovision. Inner orientation of central projection, collinearity equations, deviations from collinearity. Exterior orientation of sensor systems; object geometry from overlapping images, for block photography for aerial and close range applications.
