Università Roma Tre

Purpose of the class on Remote-sensing of the Environment is to provide to students the necessary basic culture and the operative instruments to select, process, and interpret the most appropriate remote-sensing images to specific applications on vegetation, geo-resources, geo-environment. In this way, the class is includes practicing to learn both the basic principles of remote-sensing and the required knowledge for the optimum use of the spectral-radiometric and geometric characteristics of the images. In the environmental studies, the acquired competences allows a first approach to the regional study of the distribution and stress of the vegetation on our planet, together with the identification of potential areas of geo-resource interest. Though the comparison among images collected in different dates, the student will be able to evaluate the impact due to natural and anthropic-related events.
