Project course in remote sensing and digital image processing

The aim of the course is for students to develop the ability to carry out all aspects of a small remote sensing project. Students develop or select a real-world issue in the field of remote sensing and identify the relevant steps required to complete the project. The first mandatory assignment is a project plan, which typically includes the following steps: data collection, preliminary treatment of raw data, image processing, image classification, and accuracy assessment. Students justify the research question as well as the selection of method and data to answer it through a literature study. The entire process and the final results are documented and presented in a midterm seminar and a final seminar, including peer review of the work of other students. Projects are completed in groups.

Project groups are created based on a gender equality perspective.
