Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes

- know the basic principles of field spectroscopy and tecniques for the collection and analysis of hyperspectral ground-truth data.
- identify the jmost important attributes for airborne and hyperspectral sensors, and evaluate their characteristics and potential performance.
- identify why calibration is critical and have knowledge of approaches taken to the atmospheric correction of hyperspectral data.
- appreciate how data extraction techniques and hyperspectral algorithms work.
- know the potential application areas for hyperspectral analysis.
- locate, read and summarise relevant literature, from both traditional and electronic media, to extend your understanding of the topic.
- develop reasoned arguments, firmly grounded in the available literature.
- plan and write assignments, within the specified parameters and to a professional standard.
- take responsibility for your own learning through reading and the preparation of assignments, and reflect upon your learning experience.
