From understanding the depths of the ocean to exploring the topographies of planets and stars in our universe, remote sensing techniques are used to detect and examine characteristics of an area from great distances. Dive deep into this vast field with this diploma course that explores the field’s technical and practical realities. Beginning with the application of the spatial filtering technique to images, you will go on to investigate how the Fourier transformation techniques are used in enhancing satellite images. The course explains the differences between supervised and unsupervised image classification, demonstrating the process of employing various software tools, followed by the application of light detection and ranging (LiDAR) techniques and ways to correct the false topographic perception phenomena.
Delving further into technical details, understand the difference between multispectral and hyperspectral remote sensing as well as the applications of the Normalised Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI). In addition, the course covers the operations of the radio detection and ranging (RADAR) system, including how to analyse radar images. Lastly, you will learn how to interpret satellite images of geological landforms and structures and gain insight into how the integration of remote sensing and the Geographical Information System (GIS) can help in solving groundwater problems and studying earthquakes.
Relevant in a multitude of fields, from meteorology, geology and ecology to oceanography, land surveying and applications in commercial and humanitarian fields, this course can serve as a stepping stone for anyone looking to have a distinguished career in the field of remote sensing. Providing you with a detailed explanation of the techniques used in acquiring, enhancing and analysing satellite images, you will develop understanding and appreciation of how information about planets, including the Earth, is collected and interpreted. If you are looking to specialise in remote sensing-related fields or just want to acquire a deep grasp on its various techniques, this course is designed to help you on your way.
