Objective: 

To introduce the student to the physical Advanced Satellite of Remote Sensing, Hyperspectral Remote Sensing, LIDAR Remote Sensing and their different application in terrestrial and vegetation mapping. Acquire skills in handling instruments, tools, techniques and modelling while using Remote Sensing Technology.

Course Outcomes: 
  • CO31: Identify the physics of the Remote Sensing like radiation laws of plancks, stefans-Boltezman and Kirchoffs laws.
  • CO32: Acquire the knowledge of sensors used in IRS.
  • CO33: Analyse fundamentals of image interpretation.
  • CO34: Interpretation of Digital Image processing.
  • CO35: Enhance skill of Image classification.
  • CO36: Contribute effectively in course-specific interaction.
