Course Flyer   |   Syllabus   |   More Information   | Frequency & credits: 3 crs

Satellite imagery and aerial photography are vital tools for GIS developers, analysts, and users. Students will first be introduced to the concepts and methods of imaging, remote sensing, and image analysis. The main focus of this course will then be the manipulation and analysis of images within a GIS. Course objective is to demonstrate present applications of RS in environmental sciences with software training in ArcGIS, ERDAS Imagine.
