General information
This lecture is bilingual! The live lecture will be in English language (spoken and slides) to allow all students, including international students from English MSc programmes to join. A video version in German (still English slides) is available on Moodle. Questions during the lecture can be posed in both languages! The German language videos include the content relevant for exam preparation (only BSc Geography, PSO 2021). The mandatory practicals (5313019) are taught in German (Thursday, 2-4 pm) and English (Thursday, 10-12).
The participation in the parallel practical requires GIS skills (equivalent to a 4-hour module at BSc level).
Contents
The lecture introduces students to the basics of remote sensing / Earth observation of land surfaces. After successful completion of the lecture the students
- know different sensor systems for observing the Earth
- understand the sensor characteristics relevant for planning remote sensing studies
- are familiar with the physical backgrounds of remote sensing image acquisition and pre-processing
- understand how surface properties influence the measured signal
- can interpret spatial and spectral image properties, and
- know different approaches for computer-based image analysis, including the work with vegetation indices or image classification.
A parallel practical (5313019 Ü Fernerkundung) teaches students the related implementation and analysis on free and open source software.
