The aim of the course:
To acquire fundamental knowledge about remote sensing and to produce products tailored to various professional disciplines from different satellite images is the primary goal.
 
Programme OutcomesCTPOTOA
Upon successful completion of the course, the students will be able to :
PO - 1 : Have ability to understanding of geometric and spectral properties of remotely sensed images, analog and digital images, and electro-optical and microwave systems.1,5,10
PO - 2 : Select appropriate RS data to answer particular geographic questions.1,5,10
PO - 3 : Use at an elementary level an industry standard software package for processing remotely sensed images. Processing will include classification and rectification of image data.1,5,10
PO - 4 : Get familiar with the fundamentals of Digital Image Processing techniques.1,5,10
PO - 5 : Reliably demonstrate the ability to implement IP tools in combination to solve remote-sensing applications problems within software such as MATLAB, Erdas.1,5,10
CTPO : Contribution to programme outcomes, TOA :Type of assessment (1: written exam, 2: Oral exam, 3: Homework assignment, 4: Laboratory exercise/exam, 5: Seminar / presentation, 6: Term paper), PO : Learning Outcome
