Course objective : * To understand the process of acquisition and the nature of information of the remote sensed images in oceanography.
* To know the principal types of treatments applied to the remote sensed images.
* To control the functionalities of image processing by means of typical software tools.
Prerequisites : The course intensely exploits the mono and multivariate statistical treatments and the principles of spatial analysis.
Moreover, it frequently refers to the concepts of numerical analysis, matrix algebra and analytical geometry studied during the courses of mathematics.
A certain number of concepts of numerical cartography and the softwares tools (Idrisi) handled during the exercises are also exploited.
These notions are recalled during the sessions of the satellite oceanography course.
Workshops : Only directed working sessions are organized.
Organization : The sessions will take place in room 35 located on the 2nd floor of the B5a building. The theoretical sessions alternate with directed working sessions.
Written notes : The support of the course and directed works consists in a collection of PowerPoint slides, Word documents and extracts of publications and books.
The numeric slides are available in PDF file-format, downloadable from the FTP server of the Geomatics Unit.
Assessment : The evaluation comprises two parts.

A written part, with opened book, consists in solving a exercise by means of a software used during the directed working sessions. The students have three hours to carry out this exercise. This part of the examination represents 50% in the total of the points.

The second part of the examination consists in answering a questionnaire in a written way on the theoretical course. This theoretical examination intervenes for 50% in the total of the points.
