Programming software (R) and spatial information software (ArcGIS) is used in this subject. R can be downloaded for free. ArcGIS is supplied.
In this subject students learn the advanced mathematical knowledge and skills required to analyse and develop mathematical algorithms for GIS and Remote Sensing. This includes developing a good understanding of mathematical concepts required for the development of GIS-related algorithms, developing skills in solving linear algebra problems, having an ability to analyse, modify and design various GIS algorithms.Students also learn important mathematical concepts and algorithms commonly used in processing of multispectral remote sensed imagery. This includes understanding the sources and characteristics of remote sensed data and the geometric and radiometric corrections to remote sensed imagery. Students who complete this subject will have advanced knowledge and skills in constructing and implementing spatial algorithms.
