UZB 381E - Applic.of Satellite-Based Data

Course Objectives

The aim of the course is to give information about the data acquired from satellites, the application areas and analysis of the data. Having knowledge about the use of present satellite data and the required data for the future, will provide a vision for the design of new sensors.

Course Description

Communication and observation satellites will be examined. The types and usage of satellite data will be discussed. Radiometric, spectral, temporal, spatial resolutions of satellite data and their usage areas (geology, hydrology, agriculture, forest, environment, urbanism) will be examined, signal and image processing programs will be introduced. Image correction (radiometric, atmospheric, geometric), enrichment (filtering, transformations, fusion, mosaic, classification, change analysis) applications and process steps will be explained. New technologies in the field (object-oriented, fuzzy logic, classification with artificial neural networks) will be discussed.
