Processing of Remotely sensed images

Introduction


This course aims to provide every student with a working knowledge of sophisticated methods and techniques for processing and analyzing remotely sensed data; as well as the theory and practice of undertaking remote sensing image analysis. Throughout the course, emphasis will be placed on image processing, image analysis, image classification, and other advances classification techniques such as fuzzy approaches, textural classification and object-based methods. The course is composed of lectures, laboratory exercises and a term project.

 


Learning outcomes


After the course, students should be able to understand sophisticated techniques for applying
advanced methods for image processing and analysis, and to use remotely sensed data for various applications such as planning, environmental monitoring and natural resource management.

 


Content


The course is composed of lectures, laboratory exercises and a term project. During laboratory sessions, you will have the opportunity to improve your skills on digital image processing and analysis, as well as to conduct a remote sensing project. All meetings of the lab groups are held weekly using the well-known Image processing software such as PCI Geomatica or ENVI.
Students who work two in a group should submit one group report for each lab. The course content includes:


  • Image Processing
  • Image Analysis
  • Image Classification
  • Fuzzy classification
  • Object-based classification approaches
  • Using texture in classification
  • Classification uncertainty
  • Image fusion techniques
  • Image matching
  • Dense matching
