Remote Sensing, like Geographic Information Systems (GIS), is a field on its own, as well as a tool used in other fields of research, science, and applications to create and analyze data. In turn, the data can then be used in GIS and decision-making processes to generate meaningful results and decisions.

Taking this Udemy introductory Remote Sensing course, you will learn the fundamental principles and gain a basic understanding of this fascinating and wide-ranging field of Remote Sensing. No prior GIS or Geographic knowledge is needed to take this course.

You will be introduced to basic concepts that will help you understand the field and how to apply it in your work environment. We will start with basic meanings and geographic concepts so you don't need to know anything about remote sensing or GISto start this course. We will be covering a bit of remote sensing history to introduce you to the developments in the discipline. Sensor types, platform types and what they are used for will help you to choose the correct image products that will complement your research and fulfil your needs. Ever heard about image classification and image processing, if not you will find out what that is during this course. Different projects have different data needs and remote sensing has a wide range of processes and methods to choose from to get just the right data and information for your project.

This course is an introduction to Remote Sensing and we will explain all the GISconcepts you will need, therefore you don't need to know any GISbeforehand to get useful knowledge out of this course. This course is an excellent place to start to get to know the basics of remote sensing.

For who is this Course

This is a course for beginners in GIS, Geospatial Science, Remote Sensing, Photogrammetry, GIS Programming and everyone else interested in or thinks that they are interested in Remote Sensing.

Software

I will not be focusing on specific software because there is such a lot of Geospatial / GIS / Remote Sensing / Photogrammetry software available. The ultimate choice of software you make depend on your ultimate goal or project or research. Over time you will use a variety of software options. There is no correct software only the best suitable software for your current requirements.
