Number Ten: Electromagnetic radiation. Spectral reflectance.
Imaging systems. Data storage and processing. Display.
Discrimination. Ground control. Rectification.
Interpretation. Auxiliary data sources.
Number Eleven: The use of the computer in processing spatially
located data as measured and collected by such diverse
methods as electronic distance measurement and the
Landsat multispectral scanner. Emphasis is also placed
on the increasing role of the computer in the graphical
presentation and display of the results of such analysis,
particularly in relation to the inventory and monitoring
of the Earth's resources.
Number Twelve: Satellite tracking and tracking aids. Data
transmission formats. Preprocessing techniques
(radiometric correction, geometric correction, destriping).
Analysis techniques (histogram analysis and stretching,
boundary detection, gradient operators, image series
analysis).
Number Thirteen: Introduction to environmental monitoring
techniques. Remote Sensing and environmental monitoring.
Image processing, interpretation and analysis.
Environmental monitoring methodologies including sampling
strategies, data collection and assessment techniques.
Case studies.
