Description
Lecture by Andreas Wirth on data aquisition and data processing to obtain rich and useful satellite images.
Content
For the correct assessment of satellite images, the processes involved in data processing should be known very well. Data processing and applied algorithms have essential impact on the satellite images, such as for example gamma correction. This lecture leads from single counts to radiances and brightness temperatures. Finally a well chosen selection of applications will be shown.
