This course enables students to solve real-world problems using Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and remote sensing. Students will acquire skills in data management, vector, and raster analysis. They will work with elevation data and point coordinates in a GIS environment and learn how to assess data accuracy in GIS.
The course includes the following modules:
Module 0: Course introduction
Module 1: GIS Foundations
Module 2: Introduction to Elevation Data and its Applications
Module 3: Geospatial Data Accuracy and Precision in the Context of GIS Analysis
Learners on the verified track will get hands-on experiences with working with raster and point-based data in ArcGIS Pro. Exercises in data analysis and data processing exercises, in which class participants will measure shape, size, and height from images, analyze multispectral reflectance signatures, assess height information derived with stereo techniques, and analyze SAR and hyperspectral data. Learners who select the verified track will also have access to computational labs and tutorials using ArcGIS Pro.
