(ART)

Associate Professor Jim Peterson

6 points + First or Second or summer semester + Clayton + Mixed mode + Pre/corequisites: GYM4920, GYM4610 + A field day is required

Synopsis: After an introduction to the history and nature of image analysis, with emphasis on early forms (eg air photos) modern digital multi-spectral and hyperspectral data from both active and passive remote sensing systems are introduced. Thus the nature of information in the time series land-cover change archive can be assessed, appropriately analysed, and the value of the results documented. Image Processing will be taught using ESRI Image Analyst.

Assessment: Practical exercises: 60% + 2 hour theory exam: 20% + Written assignments: 20%
