Program Summary
This program builds a rigorous foundation in remote sensing physics and image processing. You’ll work with open Earth Observation constellations (Sentinel-1/2, Landsat 8/9) and learn the core resolutions (spatial, spectral, radiometric, temporal), orbits, and sensor modalities (optical, SAR, LiDAR).
Through projects, you’ll implement preprocessing pipelines (radiometric & atmospheric correction, orthorectification, mosaicking), compute spectral indices (NDVI/NDWI), perform SAR denoising and interferometry basics, run change detection/time-series analyses, and deploy ML/DL models for land cover mapping and object detection—locally and on cloud platforms.
