Overview
This 3 ½ day course will provide the student with an introduction to the science and applications of remote sensing and will also provide a refresher to those students having some prior exposure to the subject. It will cover the physics of remote sensing, solid surface sensing, earth surface sensing, and atmospheric sensing; active and passive sensor systems; system applications and technologies. The course is taught by a combination of UMBC faculty as well as scientists from government and industry.
Target Audience
Anyone requiring a basic understanding of the science of remote sensing, its applications, system architectures, and associated technologies, including scientists, engineers, project managers, program managers, system analysts, and technical marketers.
