Remote Sensing of the Environment using Active Sensors

1.5 credits · Undergraduate

Processing and analysis of remote sensing data collected using active sensors – those that transmit their own energy. Data from active microwave sensors, including RADAR and Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) sensors, are discussed and analyzed with respect to their applicability as standalone and complementary data sources to remote sensing data acquired using passive systems. Laboratory assignments use image analysis software in a variety of applications.
