Module 6 - Aerial and Satellite Images - Remote Sensing






LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  1. Describe several positive attributes of remotely-sensed images as data sources.
  2. Describe the electromagnetic energy spectrum and it's principle wavelength regions.
  3. Define photogrammetry.
  4. Discuss passive versus active remote-sensing systems
  5. Discuss large and small format scanners in relation to aerial photography. Advantages and disadvantages/
  6. List the basic components of a camera used for taking aerial photographs
  7. List the sources of geometric distortion in aerial photographs. Which are minor sources and which are minor? Why?
  8. Describe photointerpetation
  9. Georeference an image
  10. Create a geodatabase
  11. Define spatial reference
  12. Create a feature class
  13. Create features by heads-up digitizing
