1:  Introduction to Remote Sensing 
Course Structure: Lectures: 2 / 
Labs: 1 
Credit Hours: 
3
 
Prerequisites: Nil 
Objectives:
 
This course introduces students to find out how pictures of the 
earth's surface are recorded from aircraft and satellites and different ways 
these images can be analyzed. Students gain an understanding of 
"common" Remote Sensing products such as earth resources, satellite 
images, aerial photographs as well as more sophisticated research tools 
such as RADAR and multispectral scanner systems. In this course via field 
trips opportunity is provided to assess the usefulness of different types and 
scales of remotely sensed data via on the ground comparisons. Basic map 
reading skills required for Remote Sensing projects are also covered.  
 
Course Outline: Definition and History, Physical Basis (EM Spectrum, 
Energy Interaction, Spectral Reflectance Curves, Image Characteristics) 
Introduction to Aerial Photograph, Sensor Systems (Space and airborne, 
MSS, TM, ETM, HRV, LISS, IKONOS-2, Quick bird-2, AVHRR
 
and others), 
Platforms (Types and Orbital Characteristics),Thermal Infrared 
(Characteristics, TIR Band Properties, TIR Image Interpretation, Intro to 
Microwave (Importance and applications), Digital Image Processing (Over 
view of computer based image processing), Applications (agriculture, 
urban, natural resources etc.) 
Lab Outline: Introduction to labs, Single band image interpretation, False 
color predictions, False color composite Images Interpretation, Visual 
Interpretation of aerial photographs, Various sensors data comparison, 
Thermal Infrared Image interpretation, Intro to ERDAS Imagine, display, 
Geo-linking, Zooming, Identification of targets, FIELD TRIP
