Disgrifiad cryno

An introduction to core theory and skills related to remote sensing and Geographical Information Systems

Cynnwys

This module introduces the core theory and skills that underpin the disciplines of remote sensing (or Earth Observation) and Geographical Information Systems (GIS). Specifically, this includes the following themes:

- Coordinate systems
- Spatial data types and management
- Vector GIS processing and analysis
- Raster GIS processing and analysis
- Earth Observation image analysis
- Active and passive Earth Observation systems
- Fundamentals of GIS processing and analysis
- Spatial pattern analysis

These themes will be delivered in the context of real-World applications including important environmental challenges.
