GIS-E3050 - Advanced Remote Sensing D, Lecture, 15.4.2025-5.6.2025

Please note! Course description is confirmed for two academic years, which means that in general, e.g. Learning outcomes, assessment methods and key content stays unchanged. However, via course syllabus, it is possible to specify or change the course execution in each realization of the course, such as how the contact sessions are organized, assessment methods weighted or materials used.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

After completing the course, the student will have a deep understanding of the physical principles of optical remote sensing. The student will be able to calculate radiometric concepts related to it and will be familiar with physically-based remote sensing models. The student will understand measurements, preprocessing, and interpretation methods for hyperspectral data. Additionally, the student will be able to use cloud computing to analyze satellite data and will be familiar with scientific research literature in remote sensing.
