Image processing for Earth observation

This course covers optical remote sensing from satellites and airborne platforms. The different systems are presented. The students will acquire skills in image processing and machine learning to extract end-products, such as land cover or risk maps, from the images.

Courses content:

1. Basic concepts of remote sensing and digital imaging
2. Platforms and sensors
3. Information extraction
4. Image classification
5. Multitemporal processing and change detection

Project:

• Study a real (geospatial or other) problematic using remote sensing and image processing techniques.
