Training School Program
The course provides both theoretical knowledge and practical skills in Earth Observation techniques and their adoption inside Geographical Information Systems (GIS). Students will acquire the fundamentals on the use of satellite remote sensing imagery to derive qualitative and quantitative information about the territory (at urban, basin and regional scale). Students will also develop practical skills through examples of EO data processing and thematic map generation. The main learning objective are: understanding of the main characteristics of multispectral satellite images; main EO satellite missions, with emphasis on Copernicus program; skills on basic pre-processing of images (radiometric and geometric); knowledge of the potential and limitations of image classification techniques; applications of EO.
