Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
The students will actively elaborate some of the key principles of remote sensing. They will learn how to pre-process remotely sensed data in order to make them ready for analysis. The will further be guided through practical exercises using various GIS software packages, deriving variables from different types of remotely sensed data (e.g. satellite scenes, aerial imagery, terrestrial laser scans), and map environmental changes, such as river patterns or land use changes. Finally, they will quantify processes with the respective data and generate thematic maps.
