ENV-540 / 4 crédits

Enseignant: Tuia Devis

Langue: Anglais


Summary

This course covers optical remote sensing from satellites and airborne platforms. The different systems are presented. The students will acquire skills in image processing and machine/deep learning to extract end-products, such as land cover or risk maps, from the images.

Content

Keywords

Imagery, remote sensing, image processing, signal processing, machine learning, deep learning,  satellites

Learning Prerequisites

Recommended courses

Machine learning CS-433

Important concepts to start the course

Intermediate skills in Python programming are considered a pre-requisite. All the exercises will be in Python.

Learning Outcomes

By the end of the course, the student must be able to:

  • Describe remote sensing systems
  • Describe applications of remote sensing
  • Select appropriately the relevant system for a given application
  • Perform image classification
  • Perform information extraction
  • Implement a processing chain to solve a real problem

Transversal skills

  • Use a work methodology appropriate to the task.
  • Continue to work through difficulties or initial failure to find optimal solutions.
  • Access and evaluate appropriate sources of information.
  • Collect data.
  • Make an oral presentation.
  • Write a scientific or technical report.
  • Assess progress against the plan, and adapt the plan as appropriate.
  • Use both general and domain specific IT resources and tools
