More about this course

The proposed course provides basic understanding about digital image processing of Remote Sensing datasets / images acquired by different earth resources satellites
Presently, remote sensing datasets available from various earth orbiting satellites are being used extensively in various domains including in civil engineering, water resources, earth sciences, transportation engineering, navigation etc
Google Earth has further made access to high spatial resolution remote sensing data available to non-experts with great ease
