Student Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of this course, students will be able to:
1. demonstrate knowledge of applications of optical and infrared remote sensing data sets and identify basic spectral properties of geologic materials, vegetation, water and snow.
2. perform spectral basis transformations (PCA, MNF, DCS) and use classification, linear spectral unmixing and spectral angle mapping techniques.
3. create thematic maps using spectral imagery.
