GES 481 - Digital Image Processing for Environmental Applications

(3.00)

This course covers the use of digital image processing techniques for extracting information about the earth’s surficial environments from satellite remote sensing images. Lectures will cover the theory, and laboratory exercises will provide hands-on experience in the use of computers and software for image acquisition, processing, visualization,enhancement and classification applied to multispectral satellite data. Environmental applications include wetlands delineation, forestry inventory and assessments, land use and urban sprawl analysis.

Components: Lecture
Requirement Group: You must have completed GES 381 with a grade of C or better.
