Course content

This course will give a hands-on approach to processing satellite data. Most of the data will be from remote sensing of the Earth from optical and radar (SAR) satellites. It will introduce state of the art methods to process the data, through for instance Python libraries. It assumes that the students have a basic understanding of satellite data, image processing and programming.

Objectives of the course

Knowledge and understanding:

Understands how different types of common satellite sensors like multi and hyperspectral imagers, and synthetic aperture radars collect data.
Knows which tools and libraries can be applied on different types of satellite data.
can discuss different uses of common remote sensing data.
can discuss different methods applied to satellite data processing.

Skills:

can implement a satellite processing pipline.
can analyse common satellite data products to produce derived properties in them.

General Competence:

can identify and analyse satellite data relevant to a given remote sensing objective.

Language of instruction and examination

More info about the portfolio

The portfolio consists of two smaller projects, each of which must count for approximately 20%.

Re-sit examination

A re-sit oral test will be arranged for this course if the projects have been approved. A re-sit will not be arranged for the projects.

Info about the weighting of parts of the examination

The examiner will make a discretionary assessment of the final grade in the course where the portfolio counts for approx 40% and oral counts approx 60%.
