Course Objective

Remote sensing provides the opportunity to detect, classify, monitor and map objects and events on earth by using the methods of analyzing data collected by sensors. With the developing technologies, remote sensing techniques are also changing and
developing in parallel. The aim of this course is to teach students the principles of remote sensing, data collection techniques, image processing and analysis methods, data interpretation and inference techniques. At the same time, it aims to introduce and teach remote sensing techniques that will be effective in the development of high-scale plan decisions within the framework of city and regional planning discipline.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   To have knowledge about the subject and techniques of remote sensing
2   Gain the ability to process data through programs
3   Having the ability to classify and analyze data
4   To have knowledge about the application of remote sensing techniques in the field of city planning
5   To be able to apply in related programs at the entry level and to have knowledge of data validation
