This course introduces the fundamental concept of remote sensing, which involves acquiring information about the Earth's surface without direct physical contact, typically through satellites, aircraft, drones, and sensors. It examines the principles of electromagnetic radiation, image acquisition, and data interpretation used in environmental monitoring, urban planning, agriculture, and resource management. The course also traces the historical evolution of remote sensing from early aerial photography and military reconnaissance to modern satellite-based technologies, highlighting key technological advancements, major milestones, and the growing role of remote sensing in scientific research and decision-making
This course introduces the fundamental principles and techniques used in interpreting aerial photographs, satellite images, and other remotely sensed data. It covers the key elements of image interpretation, including tone, color, texture, pattern, shape, size, shadow, site, and association. Students learn how to identify, classify, and analyze natural and human-made features from imagery, developing the skills required for applications in environmental monitoring, urban planning, agriculture, resource management, and geographic information systems (GIS)
