Course ID: | GEOG 4460/6460. 3 hours. | Course Title: | Field Methods in Remote Sensing | Course Description: | A field-based remote sensing course that teaches students the
theory and practical applications of field spectroscopy or
proximal sensing (non-imaging systems). The field exercises
will include experiment design and data collection using in
situ sensors, model calibration, and validation to quantify
environmental biophysical parameters. | Oasis Title: | Field Methods Remote Sensing | Undergraduate Prerequisite: | GEOG 4350/6350-4350L/6350L or permission of department | Graduate Prerequisite: | GEOG 4350/6350-4350L/6350L or permission of department | Semester Course Offered: | Offered spring semester every year. | Grading System: | A-F (Traditional) |
| Course Objectives: | The overall goal is to stimulate research interests among
undergraduate and graduate students and motivate them to pursue
a career in remote sensing research. Specifically, on
completion of this course, students will be able to:
- Understand the operational aspects of remote sensor
technologies
- Understand experiment design and data collection techniques
using in situ sensors and their potential application
- Understand various aspects of remote sensing field data
collection in vegetation, water, and wetlands, such as issues
involving calibrating the sensor, collecting ground truth
biophysical data, learning about solar angles and suitable time
to collect data, etc.
- Understand various aspects of modeling, including model
calibration and validation
- Understand how to write a professional report (manuscript
style)
- Understand the importance of team effort during remote sensing
experiment and data collection in the field | Topical Outline: | Theories and issues in proximal or in situ sensing
Fundamentals of field spectroscopy
Introduction and laboratory demonstrations to various in situ
sensors and
Associated radiometric quantities
Controlled data collection techniques in the laboratory
Proximal sensing of vegetation
Proximal sensing of water and wetlands
Proximal sensing of soil
Applications of thermal-infrared sensing
Fluorescence sensing
Proximal sensing data collection field trips | |
