Graduate level:
505 Fundamentals of Remote Sensing- 3 hrs. Nature and interpretation of aerial photographs, radar, and satellite images as related to Earth resources analysis. Photogrammetry, digital image interpretation, and GIS approaches are presented. Prerequisite: 111 or 115 or 160 or consent of instructor.
506 Remote Sensing: Image Development and Interpretation- 3 hrs. Image-processing interpretation techniques are a primary focus, with emphasis on image development, analysis, and interpretation in remote sensing. Prerequisite: one course in remote sensing.
507 Remote Sensing: Digital Analysis of Spectral Data- 3 hrs. The role of digital image processing in remote sensing. Major focus is the implementation of parametric and non-parametric approaches to classification of multispectral data acquired from satellites and aircraft for the purpose of developing information about the earth. Prerequisite: one course in remote sensing.
508 Remote Sensing: Digital Analysis- 3 hrs. Use of computer transformations that enhance the information extracted from remotely sensed data. Analysis using ratio, principle components, geographic information systems approaches, and other advance techniques. Prerequisite: 407-507 or consent of instructor.
512 Advance cartography- 3 hrs. Advanced principles of map design, map interpretation and analysis, map construction, and map reproduction. Prerequisite: consent of instructor.
542 Geographic Information Systems: Applications- 3 hrs. Application of basic principles of geographic information systems by providing practice in employing this technology to a simulated problem. Prerequisite: 242 or consent of instructor.
546 Automated cartography- 3 hrs. The application and analysis of computer programs as an alternative cartographic technique.
665 Remote Sensing/ GIS: Computer-Assisted Techniques- 3 hrs. Geographical information systems applied to digitize remotely sensed and other data, for the purpose of Earth resources analysis. Prerequisite: consent of instructor.
667 Remote Sensing: Research Seminar in Geographical Applications- 3 hrs. Research in remote sensing, using advanced techniques applied to a field study such as land use, vegetation, climatology, agriculture, or environmental problems. Research activities are accompanied by presentations on advanced remote sensing topics. Prerequisite: consent of instructor.
668 (666) Remote Sensing: Research Seminar in Geological Applications- 3 hrs. Research is conducted in remote sensing as applied to environmental geology, geomorphology, hydrology, oceanology, petroleum geology, and structural geology. Students also criticallyy review recent articles in geologic applications of remote sensing. Prerequisite: consent of instructor.
