DESCRIPTION: 

Introduction to remote sensing and aerial photographic interpretation. The 

application of these techniques in the acquisition and display of selected 

resource data. Topics include air photo interpretation, multiband photography, 

thermal infrared Imagery, satellite imagery, orthophotography, topographic 

and thematic mapping, and computer cartography. 

1 June 1981 

APPENDIX A 

Course Outline 

The first half of the course covers remote sensing principles, 

instrumentation, and analysis. The second half deals with remote sensing 

applications in resource management and will involve student presentations. 

A seminar format will be used with lectures and discussionson outlined 

topics. Readings will be assigned in advance of the topics and applica- 

tions will be oriented towards specific resource interests of the students; 

Six practical laboratory assignments. are. includedto familiarize the 

students with important basic aspects of applied remote sensing.
