Learning Outcomes

  • demonstrate knowledge of applications of optical and infrared remote sensing data sets and identify basic spectral properties of geologic materials, vegetation, water and snow.
  • perform spectral basis transformations (PCA, MNF, DCS) and use classification, linear spectral unmixing and spectral angle mapping techniques.
  • create thematic maps using spectral imagery.
