Objective: 

To ensure that with the knowledge of the Advanced principles of Remote Sensing the students will be able to understand the concept of Remote Sensing better

Physics of Remote Sensing- Electromagnetic Radiation and its Quantities- Radiant Energy- Radiant Flux- Irradiance- Exultance- Solid angle Unit- Radiant intensity, Radiance Spectral Quantities- Radiation laws- Plancks, Stefans- Boltezman and Kirchoffs Laws.

Whisk Broom and Push Broom- sensors used in IRS- Landsat- spot satellite, Resolution: spatial, spectral, temporal and radiometric.     

Fundamental of Image interpretation: Image interpretation key.

Digital Image Processing: pre possessing, geometric and radiometric corrections, contrast starching, principle component and analysis and filtering. 

Image Classification: Supervised and unsupervised. Accuracy assessment.
