Dr Richard Murphy

Credit Points: 6
Session: February
Prerequisites: None
Classes: 2 Lectures and 2 practicals per week for six weeks
Assessment: Assignments and examination

This Unit of Study provides a comprehensive introduction to the computational manipulation and application of imaging techniques commonly used in Environmental management, from the microscopic to macroscopic level. It includes an introduction to the uses of aerial photography and initial training using computer-based exercises in image analysis. The application and interpretation of remote sensing techniques is then covered in computer-based practical exercises that use a mixture of Landsat thematic mapper, Hyper-spectral, airborne radiometric and magnetic databases. The application of processed images in Environmental management will be covered through integrated lectures and laboratory exercises.
