Digital Image Process & Analy

The Digital Image Processing & Analysis course will provide students with foundational knowledge of how to process, describe, and analyze imagery. This class will primarily use satellite imagery, though working with aerial imagery will be covered. In the image processing section of this course, students will the fundamentals of scene selection, scene preparation, orthorectification, and atmospheric and radiometric correction. Once students can independently perform image processing, then the analysis portion of this course will cover image classification using essential indices (including Normalized Difference Vegetation, Wetness, Temperature, and Water Reflection indices at minimum), change detection analysis, and, time permitting, begin learning the fundamentals of object detection. This course will give students a strong foundation in the Remote Sensing & Imagery Analysis competency (Raabe and Stumpf, 2-14). The prerequisite for this course is DS 330.
