Image Processing Methods in Remote Sensing

There are various methods out there of processing and enhancing satellite images to suit specific remote sensing applications. When dealing with remote sensing, digital image processing and its different stages is extremely important. Discover the various public domain and commercial software used in developing digital images. The course also highlights the techniques of processing satellite images. We then show you how the concept of ‘colour space’ can be used to transform two satellite images into a new product.

In addition, the importance of a histogram in processing a satellite image will be discussed. Atmospheric distortions affect satellite images so it is essential to understand the ways such distortions can be corrected. This course outlines the steps in georeferencing and demonstrates how to use features of the Digital Image Processing Simulator (DIPS). You will also be presented with various non-linear contrast enhancement techniques and be taught how to use the Resource Geographical Information System (RGIS) to create false colour composites (FCC).

You will be shown a demonstration of how to enhance satellite images using the features of key image-processing software. If you want to learn how satellite images are processed and enhanced to meet the needs of various remote sensing applications, this course is an essential first step in attaining that understanding.
