GIT 513 - REMOTE SENSING FOR GIS

Course Objectives

With
the
development
of
space
technologies,
satellite
images
obtained
from
different
remote
sensor
systems
have
been
widely
used
by
various
disciplines.
The
objectives
of
this
course
are:
to
teach
the
fundementals
of
remote
sensing,
to
explain
the
different
remote
sensor
systems
and
to
analyze
the
remotely
sensed
data
quantitatively
and
qualitatively
to
illustrate
the
usability
of
these
data
for
different
applications.
