Course/Module description:
This is a theoretical course that introduces remote sensing while focusing at vegetation. The course integrates hands on ENVI software (designated for hyperspectral imagery) computer assignments to develop software skills as well as support the theory.
Course/Module aims:
to introduce remote sensing methods, sensors and applications of vegetation (focus on agricultural) and develop capability to analyze spectral data of vegetation.
Learning outcomes - On successful completion of this module, students should be able to:
+ Describe remote sensing methods and sensors.
+ Select the relevant tools and methods for sensing vegetation.
+ Use ENVI to pre-process and analyze spectral data.
Attendance requirements(%):
No restriction, it is recommended to join all classes and assignments.
