OBJECTIVE:

 This course will facilitate the students to have hands on experience on different steps of Visual digital satellite image.

REMOTE SENSING EXERCISES

1. Spectral reflectance observation of the following using handheld spectro radiometer.
i) Vegetation. ii) Soil iii) Water iv) Built-up
2. Map reading Survey of India topo sheets.
3. Base Map preparation from SOI
4. Visual image interpretation keys for different land cover types on different satellite data
5. Land use/land cover map
6. Soil map.
7. Geology and geomorphology maps.
