Remote sensing is the science of obtaining information about the Earth's surface without physically being in contact with it. Using various sensors, the characteristics of imaged objects can be observed and analysed at various wavelengths of electromagnetic waves. This unit teaches the principles of remote sensing, and introduces a wide range of sensors and their platforms. The up-to-date optical and radar remote sensing techniques will be demonstrated. The applications of integrating remote sensing and geographic information systems (GIS) are also demonstrated in this unit. -- Course Website
