GEOG 6110 - Environmental Analysis Through Remote Sensing

Meets with GEOG 5110. Graduate students should enroll in GEOG 6110 and will be held to higher standards and/or more work. High-resolution multispectral data, coupled with expanding computing power and increasingly sophisticated image processing software, provides a large set of quantitative, graphic and science visualization tools for solving science-based environmental problems using remote sensing data. The theory and application of image-processing techniques such as: data corrections, enhancements, transformations, and classification are aimed at specific environmental problems in the natural and human domains. Hands-on experience is gained through image processing laboratory techniques, field-based measurements and real-world science projects.
