====== L03: Introduction to remote sensing ====== ===== Things we cover in this session ===== In this session we make a brute force introduction to remote sensing to bring everyone to a common basis for the upcoming meetings. We will start with a general definition and then focus on main factors influencing the remotely sensed signal which can be grouped into sensor properties and actual recording conditions. ===== Things to take home from this session ===== At the end of this session you should be able to * define the term “remote sensing” * classify RS systems by their basic characteristics * know where and how to get remote sensing data * crop raster data sets to a similar extend * create color composites ===== Slides ===== [[https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1GqXQiiA7zaTjLunB7IsAVpi0XKIUPPex6Lf_Uc8QhF4/embed?start=false&loop=false&delayms=3000|Slides - Introduction to remote sensing]]
