Satellite Data Processing
About the course
Can be taken as a single subject.
This course will give a hands-on approach to processing satellite data. Most of the data will be from remote sensing of the Earth from optical and radar (SAR) satellites. It will introduce state of the art methods to process the data, through for instance Python libraries. It assumes that the students have a basic understanding of satellite data, image processing and programming.
