ENVS8751 has been successfully completed

It is assumed students will have skills and knowledge in remote sensing such as can be found in GEOG8701 Introduction to Remote Sensing.

This topic teaches the steps involved between operation of airborne remote sensing instrumentation and delivery of the resultant radiometrically and geometrically corrected product. A thorough understanding of the processing steps is essential for pursuit of a career in remote sensing survey and instrumentation.

The topic aims to provide students with skills and experience at the engineering analysis stages of processing remote sensing data, which are rare but invaluable to the users of remote sensing data, enabling them to maximise the value of commissioned remote sensing surveys at the stages of specification and exploitation, or to develop careers in remote sensing practice.

At the completion of this topic, students are expected to be able to:

Explain the major processing stages for radiometric processing of remote sensing imagery
Explain the navigational data requirements for georectification of airborne remote sensing data
Explain the data collection prerequisites and calibration requirements for the georectification of airborne remote sensing data to generate product at any specified accuracy
Quantify the geometric accuracy of a remote sensing product
