  • GIS 200: Advanced Remote Sensing

    0.75 Credits
    Elmhurst University

    Remote sensing is the science of deriving information about the earth's land and water areas from images acquired at a distance. It usually relies upon measurement of electromagnetic energy reflected or emitted from the features of interest. Advances in detector technology, the public availability of improved datasets from new instruments, and new approaches to data analysis will be presented in this course. As such, the ability to work with and interpret remote sensing data is a valuable addition to any spatial project. The emphasis in this class will be on traditional remote sensing techniques such as aerial photography and satellite imagery. However, an introduction to uses of radar, microwave, gamma ray, and neutron remote sensing techniques will also be provided. Explanation of, and practical applications of the global positioning system(GPS)are also covered. Prerequisites: GIS 100 and ISG 100.
