Objectives
a) To achieve scientific and technical skills on acquisition, integration, operation and spatial analysis using geographic information tools for visual analysis of digital image processing and GIS; b) To achieve scientific and technical skills on modeling geographical, environmental and land development phenomena using GIS; c) To develop project solutions on acquisition, integration and spatial analysis of geographical information, integrating Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems; d) To develop project solutions for modeling geographic, environmental, and land development phenomena using GIS.
Prerequisites
None.
Subject matter
1. General introduction to geographic information extraction from aerial and orbitals imagery; i) Theoretical principles (resolution, scale, primitive image analysis and interpretation, interpretation keys); ii) Structuring of legend in levels of information oriented to geodatabases; iii) Coordinate systems and transformations between different coordinate systems; iv) Geo-referencing; v) Editing; vi) Validating information; vii) Applying topology.
2. Visual analysis of orthophotomaps data acquisition for GIS: i) Visual image analysis and editing; ii) Validating information; iii) Applying topology.
3. Visual analysis of medium-resolution satellite image data acquisition for GIS: i) Enhancement; ii) Global transformations by principal component analysis iii) Filtering; iv) Image fusion; v) Visual image analysis and editing; vi) Validating information; vii) Applying topology.
4. Development of an integrated project of Remote Sensing and GIS.

Teaching method
Two methods are used: - Sessions with theoretical exposition and simultaneous practice of computer applications (exercise); - Session tracking the various stages of developing a project in Remote Sensing and GIS.
Evaluation method
To each student is required:
- Conducting exercises directed to the project: 25% of the final grade;
- Development of a project to solve a problem: 70% of the final grade;
- Attempting 60% of the classes: 5% of the final grade.
