| Credit level (Normal year taken) | SCQF Level 11 (Postgraduate) |
Availability | Available to all students |
| SCQF Credits | 10 |
ECTS Credits | 5 |
| Summary | This course extends and builds on the material in the semester 1 courses ?Theory of Image Processing? and ?Applied image processing?. Techniques applicable to optical, thermal and microwave methods are covered but greatest emphasis is given to optical techniques. Emphasis is placed on gaining a practical understanding of the principles behind each technique and a consideration of their appropriateness in different applications. Practical experience in the utilization of remotely sensed data and in image processing techniques will be gained through a series of unsupervised practical projects designed to complement lecture material. Students are required to implement some of the techniques themselves in a programming language: this leads to deeper understanding of the basic principles involved. Emphasis will also be placed on the importance of image interpretation. |
