autumn 2022
FYS-3023 Applied remote sensing - 10 ECTS
Type of course
The course is available as a singular course. The course is also available to exchange students and Fulbright students.
The course will only be taught if there are sufficiently many students. Please contact the student adviser as soon as possible if you are interested in following the course.
Course content
The course will give a practical introduction to methods and algorithms used for analyzing and interpreting Earth observation data. Focus will be on how Earth observation data can be applied to study and monitor the climate and the environment. The course will contain elements of image processing, pattern recognition and texture analysis. It has a significant practical component, in which various applications will be discussed.Objectives of the course
Knowledge - The student can
- describe fundamental principles of remote sensing by synthetic aperture radar sensors and multi-spectral optical sensors
- describe a number of satellite remote sensing application areas within (but not limited to) the marine, cryosphere, and forest domains
- discuss and select appropriate remote sensing sensors and modes applicable to a given application
- discuss and select basic signal processing, image processing, and pattern recognition techniques applicable in the analysis of remote sensed imagery
Skills - The student can
- explain the application domains of synthetic aperture radar and multi-spectral optical sensors with respect to environmental monitoring
- analyze remote sensed data by applying various segmentation methods, multi-channel feature extracting method, and classification methods
General expertise - The student can
- give a basic interpretation of synthetic aperture radar and multi-spectral optical Earth observation data
- implement or apply methods and algorithms in available software for analysis of remote sensed data
