Description
Introduction to the geometric and spectral properties of remotely sensed (satellite, aerial or terrestrial) images of the Earth's surface or objects. Description of analogue and digital images - photography, electro-optical and microwave systems. The physics of visible, infrared and microwave remotely sensed imagery, including atmospheric effects. Image geometry - central projection, scan and microwave systems. The principles of stereovision. Inner orientation of central projection, collinearity equations and deviations from collinearity. Exterior orientation of sensor systems. Object geometry from overlapping images, for block photography for aerial and close range applications. Digital photogrammetric workstations and their functions. Photogrammetric project planning. Image interpretation.
