Course details

The Remote Sensing: Principles and Applications course provides a comprehensive understanding of how information about the Earth’s surface and atmosphere is collected, processed, and interpreted using satellite and airborne sensors. The course explains the physical principles behind remote sensing, including electromagnetic radiation, interaction of energy with matter, and sensor technologies used to acquire spatial data.

The course covers different remote sensing platforms, sensor types, and data acquisition systems, along with digital image processing techniques for extracting meaningful information. Emphasis is placed on practical applications of remote sensing in civil engineering, environmental studies, urban planning, disaster management, water resources, agriculture, and geology. By the end of the course, learners gain the ability to interpret satellite imagery, analyze spatial patterns, and apply remote sensing data to solve real-world engineering and environmental problems.
