Objective: 

To analyse concepts of remote sensing, including the electromagnetic spectrum; the emission, scattering, reflection, and absorption of electromagnetic radiation; how EM radiation interactions vary across a limited number of substances.

Course Outcomes: 
  • CO7: Acquainted with the concept and development of Remote Sensing.
  • CO8: Attain knowledge of atmospheric window.
  • CO9: Familiarized with the interaction with Earth materials.
  • CO10: Identify remote sensing platforms.
  • CO11: Acquire other platforms related to Remote Sensing.
  • CO12: Contribute effectively in course-specific interaction.
