GEOG 253-3 Aerial Photographic InterpretationUses of aerial photography and aerial photographic interpretation in geography. The course is divided into four sections: (1) technical background regarding aerial photography and photo interpretation; (2) air photo interpretation and mapping; (3) application of air photo interpretation; and (4) introduction to remote sensing. (Lecture/Laboratory) Prerequisites: GEOG 100 or 221 or 241 and 111.
GEOG 353-4 Remote Sensing
Applied remote sensing and image analysis. Topics include air photo interpretation, multispectral and color photography, thermal imagery, multispectral scanners, microwave applications, satellite imagery and SPOT data. The relation of remote sensing information and Geographic Information Systems is discussed. Manual interpretation and computer analysis will be used. (Lecture/Laboratory) Prerequisite: GEOG 253 (formerly 353). Students who com pleted GEOG 353 prior to Fall 1988 may take this course for further credit. Students who completed GEOG 453 prior to Fall 1988 may not take this course for further credit.
GEOG 453-4 Digital Image Processing
Computational aspects of remote sensing. Systems consideration; statistical extraction; image enhancement; thematic information extraction; change detection. (Lecture/Laboratory) Prerequisite: GEOG 353. Students who completed GEOG 453 prior to Fall 1988 may take this course for further credit.
