FORS 251 - Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing Credit(s): 3
Prerequisite(s): GPHY 284 or SRVY 283 . The theory and application of photo and electro-optical remote sensing for mapping resources and developing information systems. (Spring Semester)
Course Learning Outcomes: Upon completion of the course, students will be able to - Discuss the electromagnetic spectrum and how it relates to remote sensing.
- Retrieve and composite remotely sensed raster data to create images for interpretive purposes.
- Describe characteristics of remotely sensed raster data and explain corrections necessary to conduct change comparisons.
- Radiometrically correct cell values and clip to area of interest.
- Perform raster calculations to compute normalized vegetation index and compare change in vegetation through different time periods.
- Explain and perform supervised and unsupervised classification.
- Discuss the acquisition and utility of Lidar data.
- Determine scale of an aerial photo and measure distances and areas.
- Determine heights of objects using relief displacement and stereoscopic parallax.
- Locate principal points, conjugate principal points, and flight lines.
- Use a pocket stereoscope to view overlapping aerial photos in 3 dimensions.
- Delineate land cover classes.
