Learning outcomes of the course unit

Student will manage theoretical basics of methods of remote sensing of the ground objects. They will be introduced with present technical resources of visual data collection and with methods of their interpretation for landscape monitoring and its components and for creation of cartographic works, divided by different purpose.

Prerequisites

Fundamental knowledge of atmospheric optics and space mechanics

Co-requisites

Satellite geodesy, physics of the atmosphere.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Lectures with presentation, expanding presentation on Moodle LMS for repetition and self study, consultations, exercise programs with individual tasks, leadership of master's and bachelor's theses.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

For completing the course should be submitted digital and analog protocols of the exercises and successfully pass an oral examination.
