SPA405 Image Analysis (8)
Abstract|
The subject covers the theoretical background of remote sensing and treats in detail the acquisition of digital data by imaging/non-imaging systems. The subject also examines the commonly used procedures for enhancing and classifying multi-spectral data. Topics include the pre-processing of remotely sensed data from satellite and airborne scanners, enhancement techniques, image transformations, and filtering techniques. It assumes students already have had an introduction to remote sensing techniques. The subject has no residential school and on completion students have the ability to make sound independent judgements regarding the appropriate use of image analysis techniques. |
