Digital Imaging Systems
Digital imaging involves the manipulation and interpretation of digital images from a wide variety of sensors onboard terrestrial, airborne, and space-borne platforms. In Geomatics Engineering, these procedures are used for a variety of applications, such as land cover mapping, environmental monitoring, and change detection. Digital images are also used to create three-dimensional models of the real world, which enable us to visualize the environment and to better understand our world so that creative solutions to various problems may be found.
Areas of Study:
- Photogrammetric reconstruction using space-borne, airborne, and terrestrial imagery
- LIDAR data manipulation
- Integration of multi-source geospatial data, for visualization and monitoring of 3-D environments
- Simulation of synthetic aperture RADAR systems and analysis of SAR image data
- Quality assurance and quality control of data acquisition systems and mapping procedures
- Biometical Engineering
