Description
MASTER THE FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES OF REMOTE SENSING AND GEOSPATIAL ANALYSIS!

Do you nd that other remote sensing courses are too short and vague, and do not prepare you for
real world problems? Are you looking for a course that goes IN-DEPTH and teaches you all the
fundamentals of remote sensing?

My course provides a solid foundation to carry out practical, real life remote sensing spatial data
analysis and gives you the techniques and knowledge to tackle a variety of geological and
environmental problems.

8/22/2019 Fundamentals of Remote Sensing and Geospatial Analysis | Udemy
This course provides an introduction to remote sensing - the acquisition of information about the
earth from a distance, typically via airborne and spaceborne sensors.  The  abundance of earth
observation data allows us to address many pressing environmental, geographical, and geological
issues. This course will prepare the students for the basics of using remote sensing data. 

Students will have a solid understanding of the physical principles of remote sensing, including
electromagnetic (EM) radiation concepts, and will also explore in detail the interaction of EM radiation
with the atmosphere, water, vegetation, minerals, and other land types from a remote sensing
perspective. We will go over various industries where remote sensing can be used including
agriculture, geology, mining, hydrology, forestry, environmental, and many more!

The students will also learn about current satellite sensor platforms for remote sensing analysis
including passive senors, synthetic aperture radar, and LiDAR. In addition to learning  the basic
concepts, terminology, and theories in remote sensing science and application, they will also learn
the accurate steps for pre-processing images including radiometric and atmospheric correction
techniques.

Lastly, we will look at how to interpret spectral characteristics from di erent materials and how to
create their own basic equation for using remote sensing images on their own projects in the future.

 Enroll in my course today! I want your experience with this course to be a success but more
importantly prepare and give you the knowledge for using remote sensing in the real world.

Who this course is for:

Academics
Researchers
Anyone who wants to learn about and how to use remote sensing
Anyone who wants to use spatial data to solve geological and environmental questions

A great course to start with Geospatial analysis. Even though it is a 2-hour course, the amount of
information delivered is more. Recommended.

Good course, very theoretic. lacks real world examples of how the theory in this course is
applied. However the information in this course is very compact and rare to come by on your
own. thank you.

Very insightful and knowledgeable about the topic, all while describing it in an easy to
understand fashion. The only critique is that it only covers environmental applications so far.
Would like to have more of a general overview or at the least a mention of di erent applications.

I understood the basic applications of Remote Sensing to various elds of Forestry, Agriculture,
Hydrology, Land Cover, Mapping and all the rest of them. I fell deeply in love with the
explanation in Electromagnetic Spectrum. The tutor explained it with all sense of knowledge and
understanding. The Classes were great!

The Topics were very well explanatory to a beginner.

The Courses were more of theoretical. It could have been better for me with more practicals.
