Program content

No. Program content Course's learning outcomes Activities
1. Execution of the sample environmental analysis: Formulation of the problem (selection of one of the available analyzes: identification of contaminated sites, determination of the environment, analysis of multispectral changes, etc.), analysis of available data for the selected area (checking availability and timeliness of data), performing advanced analysis based on current data and the adopted methodology, the implementation of an exemplary report. U1, K1 Project classes
2. Processing of remote sensing data - examples of practical projects: Discussing the issues of remote sensing data processing in example projects in the country and in the world. The use of modern advanced methods of data processing in environmental analysis (fuzzy set theory, artificial neural networks, deep learning, big data). Copernicus program, the use of Sentinel data perspective in the perspective of use for the work of the Agency for Restructuring and Modernization of Agriculture. Precision agriculture. W1, W2 Lectures
3. Remote and hyperspectral sensing: Multispectral image, spectral compositions, spectral curve for multi and hyperspectral images, spectral range and resolution, classification of multispectral images, work on remote sensing images, multi-resolution database, data-cube concepts in the sense of remote sensing. W1, W2 Lectures
4. Operations on remote sensing data: Basic operations on images and remote sensing data (loading of multisensory data, filtration, compression, improvement of data quality, automatic extraction of data by various methods). U1, K1 Project classes
5. Land use and land cover map: Execution of an exemplary utility / land cover map. The use of current classical methods (supervisory and unattended classification) and object-oriented methods (object classification). Performing a multitrack analysis based on current and archived data. U1, K1 Project classes
6. Characteristics of remote sensing systems: Presentation of currently available remote sensing systems, review in relation to historical data, principles of operation of imaging systems (cameras and scanners, lidars, radars, etc.), advantages and disadvantages of individual sensors, use in practice, data availability, procedures for ordering and obtaining data from various sensors. W1, W2 Lectures
7. The basics of remote sensing data processing: Basics of image processing, filtration, lossy and lossless compression, filter splitting, adaptive filters, discussion of the problem of correction of remote sensing data (geometric and atmospheric correction), general issues of remote sensing data processing, discussion of passive and active techniques, geometric models. W1, W2 Lectures
8. Remote sensing in environmental monitoring: Discussion of the issues of the use of remote sensing data in environmental monitoring. Overview of current monitoring systems. The advantages and disadvantages of monitoring remote sensing techniques from various ceilings (terrestrial, air and satellite). W1, W2 Lectures
