Abstract:
This paper deals with education and training aspects
in the field of remote sensing, emphasising image
geometry.
The development of suited algorithms for GIS
systems is still a real market gap. Therefore it is one
intention of the study of remote sensing, to prepare
for algorithm development and improvement.
In an introduction part. a synoptic syllabus for
Remote sensing is stated. A tutorial sequence of the
paper summarises the reasons for proper geometric
corrections of remote sensing imagery. This is
followed by emphasising the educational value of
heuristic polynomial equations, to introduce into the
field of remote sensing image geometry. Finally
samples for the education in improvement of
algorithms are stated and it is introduced into training
aspects of orthophoto generation. For a more
sophisticated study of this matter, in paper No. 338
details are given.

1. INTRODUCTION
Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing , are obligate
subjects within the course of studies in geodesy on a
University level at the University of Hannover
(Germany). According to the syllabus of the
University of Hannover the basic education in
Photogrammetry consists of Definitions,
Dataaquisition, Interpretation and Image
measurements, Evaluation of Image points, Stereo
plotting, Handling of Vector data (GIS-input), Image
Rectification using analogue imagedata and raster
data, Application of Photogrammetry , Terrestrial
Photogrammetry and History of Photogrammetry.
The syllabus for Remote Sensing in particular deals
with Quantum Physics of Radiation, Basic Matter
Energy Relationship, Sensors, Platforms and Digital
Image Processing. The content of the lessons and
exercises in Digital Image processing are
Radiometric Corrections, grey level Changes, Filters,
Classifications and Geometry as a typical course of
studies at the Institute for Photogrammetry and
Engineering Surveys in Hannover.
This course includes Geometric Sensor Models.,
DTM Corrections, the principle of conventional
aerial Photogrammetry to be modified for mechanical
Scanners, for optoelectronical Scanners, and for
radar, etc.
