====== L03: Introduction to remote sensing ====== ===== Things we cover in this session ===== In this session we make a brute force introduction to remote sensing to bring everyone to a common basis for the upcoming meetings. We will start with a general definition and then focus on main factors influencing the remotely sensed signal which can be grouped into sensor properties and actual recording conditions. ===== Things to take home from this session ===== At the end of this session you should be able to * define the term “remote sensing” * classify RS systems by their basic characteristics * know where and how to get remote sensing data * crop raster data sets to a similar extend * create color composites ===== Slides ===== {{section>resources:templates:template_messages#Google Presentation Caption}}
