Collection of environmental information

- Definition of the problem and of its objectives
- Introduction to sampling procedures
- Planification of the data collection process (what ? where? with which precision ?)
- Choice and application of the measuring sensors
- Fundamental principles: sensor types, influence factors, constraints of field measurement, metrological characteristics: error, calibration, limits, sensitivity, response time, drift, resolution, ...

The lecture is based on real life examples concerning the environment.

Teledetection applied to the natural environment

Le cours comprend trois parties : la théorie relative à la télédétection, les applications de la télédétection en géomorphologie d'une part et dans les zones rurales et dans le milieu naturel d'autre part.

Après une introduction précisant le domaine de la télédétection, la première partie sera consacrée aux caractéristiques géométriques des photos aériennes, à la vision stéréoscopique et aux déformations du modèle stéréoscopique.

La deuxième partie traitera de l'interprétation géologique et géomorphologique des photos aériennes ainsi que de l'apport des images satellitales dans les sciences de la terre et plus particulièrement sur les risques naturels.

Une troisième partie envisagera l'analyse des zones agricoles, forestières et naturelles ainsi que les apports des données télédétectées en archéologie.

Geographical information systems

- Introduction: geographic information in raster mode
- Modelling of geographic processes (raster)
