Remote Sensing Devices and Platforms

Educate yourself on the operations of key remote sensing devices and platforms by learning how remote sensing images are represented. This includes how single and multilayer images are generated as well as understanding the types of satellite orbits and earth-observing satellites that can be found. A wide variety of remote sensing devices exists and these satellites have the ability to acquire various multispectral images. In addition, there are a range of satellites in existence today, all of which have their own unique characteristics.

Are you curious about the role of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs)? Throughout this course, we study their advantages and use in the realm of remote sensing. You will be introduced to the system of microwave remote sensing (MRS) and the working operation and application of passive microwave remote sensing (PMRS). Furthermore, the course explains the types of image resolution achieved in remote sensing as well as how satellite earth stations acquire images from these satellites.

The course demonstrates how certain devices and platforms are instrumental to remote sensing. You will also learn how the images captured by satellites are transmitted to Earth. If you are interested in becoming a remote sensing professional or wish to refresh your memory on the various remote sensing platforms and devices available, this course is for you. Start this course today and become an expert in the field of remote sensing devices and platforms.
