Applied Image Processing (P00740)

? Credit Points : 10 ? SCQF Level : 11 ? Acronym : GEO-P-GISAIP

The course is designed to complement the Theory of Image processing course and explores the practical implementation and practice of image processing techniques. Emphasis is placed on a practical understanding of appropriate methods of image processing. Practical experience in the utilisation of optical remotely sensed data will be gained using the ERDAS Imagine image processing software. Emphasis is also placed on image interpretation.
