  6. COURSE OBJECTIVES • To understand: • the physics, chemistry, and technology involved in remote sensing • the techniques for preprocessing aerospace remote sensing images (processing techniques will be covered in SIP course) • panchromatic, multispectral and hyperspectral remote sensing in different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum and to learn how to interpret the images acquired using these sensors • In short, the primary objective is to provide the conceptual foundations and technical skills to apply remote sensing to solve real-world problems.

  7. COURSE CONTENTS • History and development of remote sensing • Electromagnetic radiation - nature and sources, interaction with matter and atmosphere ----------------- I Quiz • Atmospheric windows and effects, corrections • Multispectral systems • Characteristics of important remote sensing systems: LANDSAT, IRS, ASTER, SPOT; High resolution sensors • Hyperspectral systems • Thermal systems • Microwave systems • Interpretations and applications - agriculture, forestry, land-use mapping, geology, water resources etc etc. ------------------- II Quiz … and Arial Photography/Photogrammetry. ------------------- III Quiz

  16. Remote sensing : Perspective • Concept: what do we understand by remote sensing? • Importance: • Is it just pretty pictures or serious science? • Does it add to our understanding of natural systems and resources? • Applications to natural resources studies

  17. Remote sensing : Concept Acquisition of information about an object without making physical contact Earth: surface, atmosphere, hydrosphere, cryosphere planets sun stars; galaxies etc

  18. Remote sensing : Concept • Most widely used remote sensors: human eyes • Motivation for remote sensing systems • Collection (eye), transmission (optic nerve) and storage (brain) • Cannot distribute the data though

  19. Remote Sensing : Concept • The sensor collects information within its IFOV (resolution cell) without being in direct physical contact with it. • The sensor can be located on ground, aircraft and spacecraft platforms.

  20. Remote sensing : Concept Technology, science and art of obtaining information about an object, area, or phenomenon through the analysis of data acquired by a device that is not in contact with the object, area or phenomenon under the investigation. Technology : data collection Science and technology : data processing and analysis Science and art : data interpretation

  21. Remote sensing : Concept ASPRS formal definition of photogrammetry and remote sensing: “the art, science, and technology of obtaining reliable information about physical objects and the environment, through the process of recording, measuring and interpreting imagery and digital representations of energy patterns derived from non-contact sensor systems.”

  23. Remote Sensing Process Data processing and analysis Science goal Data Acquisition Information extraction 1) In situ measurements (GPS, bio-mass, soil moisture, spectroradiometer, etc.) 2) Remote Sensing Data (passive and active remote sensing ) Visual interpretation Digital Image Processing Scientific Visualization

  24. Types and classes of remote sensing data Spatial Information Imagers Altimeters Sounders Imaging spectrometers Imaging radiometers (Polarimeters) Scatterometers Radiometers Spectral Information Spectrometers Intensity Information

  25. Other types of remote sensing Geophysical Sonar

  26. Advantages of Remote Sensing • Data can be gathered from large areas of the Earth’s surface or atmosphere in short space of time. • In situ measurements are time consuming and costly over large areas. Remote Sensing is considered as cost effective. • No sampling bias - consistent coverage of the entire area • Response of objects collected in different wavelengths

  27. Limitations of Remote Sensing • Often oversold • Provides information only about the spectral properties of objects on the earth’s surface (and their variation in time and space). We hope that the spectral properties are proxies for the property we are interested in. • Noise – atmospheric effects, topographic effects, soil/vegetation cover • Often considered an end in it self (the pretty picture syndrome!) - remote sensing should enhance scientific understanding of the system under study.
