DELL'ACQUA FABIO (titolare) - 6 ECTS

It is advisable to attend a basic remote sensing course before taking this course.

This course has been conceived to teach the students a range of processing and analysis techniques commonly applied to remotely sensed data in various contexts. The students will learn how the different types of data can be handled and processed to reach the goal of extracting the information sought. The first two sections of the course will be devoted to optical and radar data analysis respectively, while the third section will be devoted to data fusion and to other advanced techniques.

Processing and analysis of Optical Remotely Sensed Data
- Types of Optical Remotely Sensed Data and their characteristics
- Statistical analysis
- Spatial analysis
- Spectral analysis

Processing and analysis of Radar Remotely Sensed Data
- Types of Radar Remotely Sensed Data and their characteristics
- Statistical analysis
- Spatial analysis
- Polarimetric data and decompositions
- Multi-band analysis

Data fusion, information fusion, other techniques
- Data fusion and information fusion concepts
- Different types of data and information fusion
- Fusion with ancillary data / metadata integration
- Distributed collection of information / citizen sensor / crowdsourcing
- Big Data from Space
