This course focuses on computer-based methods for information extraction from remotely sensed data to support geographic inquiries in environmental and social domains. It comprises three major components: an overview on the remote sensing process and the major remote sensing systems; an in-depth discussion on the major components in digital image processing ranging from preprocessing, image enhancements, thematic information extraction through pattern recognition and artificial intelligence, digital change detection, to thematic accuracy assessment; and an introduction to lidar remote sensing and hyperspectral remote sensing.
The participants will be taken through fundamental definitions such as image, digital image, and digital image processing. Different sources of digital images, image processing to computer vision and image acquisition and different types of image sensors shall be covered.
On completion of the course the successful participants will:
- Be proficient in the use of QGIS/ArcGIS
- Understand and be able to undertake geometric referencing of images
- Understand and be able to display image composites for known purposes.
- Know about the potential of and procedures for image processing in a range of application areas
- Proficiency in image processing as outlined in this course is the basis for:
- Developing advanced image processing techniques
- Using image processing in a very wide array of applications with any type of digital image and with a range of software products
