Digital image analysis for resource mapping and evaluation using remote sensing data. Topics range from initial data selection to final map production and assessment. Using commercial image analysis software, students will analyse data for a selected area and produce a portfolio of results. In addition, they will undertake a literature review on a selected topic and present highlights of the review at an end-of-term mini-conference.

Prerequisites

    • Must have completed the following:
      • GEOG371 - Advanced Remote Sensing Techniques (0.50)

  • Much harder than GEOG 481, which is a trend observed in past offerings as well. Would recommend choosing a good group with good work ethic, which is the main factor in your mark. Course will be extremely heavy no matter what, so make sure your group is good.

u/ChinaBBG: “Are courses that weigh 1.0 cost the same amount as a course that weighs 0.5, or does it cost double?”
