CE6003 REMOTE SENSING TECHNIQUES AND GIS L T P C 3 0 0 3
OBJECTIVES:
• To introduce the students to the basic concepts and principles of various components of remote sensing.
• To provide an exposure to GIS and its practical applications in civil engineering.
UNIT I EMR AND ITS INTERACTION WITH ATMOSPHERE & EARTH MATERIAL 9
Definition of remote sensing and its components – Electromagnetic spectrum – wavelength regions important to remote sensing – Wave theory, Particle theory, Stefan-Boltzman and Wein‟s Displacement Law – Atmospheric scattering, absorption – Atmospheric windows – spectral signature concepts – typical spectral reflective characteristics of water, vegetation and soil.
UNIT II PLATFORMS AND SENSORS 9
Types of platforms – orbit types, Sun-synchronous and Geosynchronous – Passive and Active sensors – resolution concept – Pay load description of important Earth Resources and Meteorological satellites – Airborne and spaceborne TIR and microwave sensors.
UNIT III IMAGE INTERPRETATION AND ANALYSIS 9
Types of Data Products – types of image interpretation – basic elements of image interpretation - visual interpretation keys – Digital Image Processing – Pre-processing – image enhancement techniques – multispectral image classification – Supervised and unsupervised.
UNIT IV GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEM 9
Introduction – Maps – Definitions – Map projections – types of map projections – map analysis – GIS definition – basic components of GIS – standard GIS softwares – Data type – Spatial and non- spatial (attribute) data – measurement scales – Data Base Management Systems (DBMS).
UNIT V DATA ENTRY, STORAGE AND ANALYSIS 9
Data models – vector and raster data – data compression – data input by digitization and scanning
– attribute data analysis – integrated data analysis – Modeling in GIS Highway alignment studies – Land Information System.
OUTCOMES:
On completion of the course the students will have knowledge on
• Principles of Remote Sensing and GIS
TOTAL: 45 PERIODS
• Analysis of RS and GIS data and interpreting the data for modeling applications
