| DESCRIPTION | This study-unit introduces students to the basic principles of remote sensing and the applications of signal processing and machine learning in this field. It covers a range of sensing techniques supported by modern Earth Observation satellites, including SAR, optical and infrared. The study-unit also provides an overview of several techniques used to process, analyze and visualize remote sensing imagery, and-unit delves into a number of remote sensing applications in which machine learning, image processing and computer vision techniques are increasingly being used. Study-Unit Aims: The aim of this study-unit is to give the student the tools and knowledge necessary to process and analyze remote sensing data using image processing and machine learning techniques. Learning Outcomes: 1. Knowledge & Understanding: By the end of the study-unit the student will be able to: - Understand the basic physical principles of remote sensing; - Describe the general procedure of remote sensing; - Identify different types of remote sensing data, sensors and platforms; - Identify different types of remote sensing applications. 2. Skills: By the end of the study-unit the student will be able to: - Analyze and process SAR data (amplitude and phase); - Analyze and process optical and near-infrared imagery (production of RGB images, commonly used indices); - Apply image processing techniques to correct remote sensing data; - Apply machine learning techniques for various remote sensing applications.
