ssion for 'osystem days PC training d GIS to n free of ata were aining to g period, OGY idvanced s, it has onomical training. pushing ies and iount of eter for ith PCs. PCs are ium with )ecoming speed of PCs in image processing. Even though the CPU is same, the calculation speed is likely to be improved by increasing the main memory size. Cost down of RAMs is allowing users to increase the main memory size of their PCs to create better environment for image processing. 2.1.3 Display Ability Displaying colorful images is a essential function in remote sensing as well as in GIS. In displaying images, the number of pixels and colors for display are limited by the resolution of the CRT display and the capacity of the display memory. Nowadays, most of the PCs can display at least 640 pixels x 480 lines on CRT with 256 colors or more. For remote sensing data analysis, full color(8bit x 3ch) display ability is required. 2.1.4 Data Storage/Exchange Media Handiness, large memory capacity, compatibility, access speed are important parameters for selecting data storage/exchange media. Various kinds of media, such as floppy disk, MO, CD-ROM, 8mm tape, etc., are now used with PCs. Among these media, due to it's high cost performance, large capacity. and mass productivity, CD-ROM has become one of the most poplar data stor- age media for PCs. Various kinds of satellite data sets are now distributed with CD-ROMs. 2.1.5 Printer Recently, low cost color ink jet printers are available in the market which are useful for making color hard copies of processed images in remote sensing and GIS. 2.2 Software 2.2.1 08 Nowadays, most of the OS for PCs, such as MS-Windows, Windows95, MacOS, are using Graphical User Interface (GUD. The GUI allow users to operate PCs easily with mouse, icon, and windows. When a software is developed with GUI, the basic I/O operation procedure becomes similar to other software. This helps beginners to concentrate in learning about the main concept of the software. 2.2.2 Application Software Various kinds of good application software for PCs are currently available in the market, which include ER Mapper, 128, Imagine, Mapinfo, and ArcView2. Due to hardware advancement, the functions of these software are becoming close to those of workstations. However, it should be noted that good application software are not always good software for training. Beginners are often confused with various functions of the software. Moreover, 25 not many beginners are able to buy these software for themselves. 3. CRITICAL MATTERS IN HANDS-ON-TRAINING 3.1 Computer Operation When you are performing a hands-on-training to beginners in remote sensing or GIS, the main objective is to let them understand the concept of the technology. But, since you are using certain system for training, trainees have to learn the operation how to use the system first. So, if the operation of the system is too complicated, they are more likely to be learning how to use the system than the concept of the technology. To avoid this, the operation of the system should be as simple as possible. 3.2 Software Availability As described in the Chapter 2, there are so many good software around which could be used for training. However, mostly, they are not free. Some are even quite expensive. If the trainees do not have the software or similar ones at their offices and do not afford to buy the software, they cannot utilize what they have learned at the training. They are soon likely to forget how to use the software, or how to use the technology for their works. 3.3 Data Set Availability Usually, a data set used at a training is a small data set which can only be used for the training. If the trainees want to try the remote sensing or GIS technology to some other application, they need another data sets. But satellite data or GIS data are not cheap in general, and the beginners can not afford to buy those. Lack of data is a serious problem for the beginners of remote sensing or GIS. 4. PC BASED HANDS-ON-TRAINING This chapter describes about the PC based hands-on- training which is organized as a part of the Regional Remote Sensing Seminar on Tropical Ecosystem Management. The main objective of the training was to transfer the basic technology of remote sensing and GIS to beginners. Total of around fifteen beginners are invited to the training every year from various countries in Asia, and eight to nine instructors perform the training. This is to make the number of the trainees per instructor to be less than three. One PC was given to every two trainees. Ideally, each trainees should have one PC. But, we have International Archives of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing. Vol. XXXI, Part B6. Vienna 1996
