GEO 6320 - Signal and Image Processing in the Geosciences

Meets with GEO 5320 and GEO 7320, additional coursework required from graduate students. Analysis of linear systems and processing of continuous and discrete signals to solve imaging problems in geophysics, remote sensing, and geological engineering. Theory and computer implementations of Fourier transform, wavelet transform, morphological processing, edge detection, linear-system response, waveform sampling, fast Fourier transform, digital filtering, and spectral analysis. Half of the course will be devoted to processing multidimensional images obtained from satellites and seismic surveys.
