地理科学高级大专-遥感

遥感专业是“地理科学”高级文凭课程的第二个选项。遥感是对地观测系统及其应用的研究。实际上，它通常与数字地理空间图像的应用计算机分析相关联。遥感是一门快速发展的学科，在林业，地质，国防/情报，灾害管理，保护，海洋学，气象学，城市分析和农业等领域具有多种应用。通过使用行业标准软件的实践经验，学习如何解释卫星图像，处理数字图像并了解遥感和航空成像平台的理论基础。遥感与地理信息系统（GIS）和全球定位系统（GPS）紧密结合。这种关注的令人兴奋的方面之一是有机会使用GIS和GPS在现场应用图像解释技能。
Remote sensing professionals map, measure, and monitor our earth using a range of sensors and cutting-edge technology. Using camera systems, laser scanners (LiDAR) and microwave sensors (RaDAR), they collect, analyze, and report on spatial data. This provides organizations with insights to help solve problems and support decision making in the environmental and natural resources sectors and beyond. In this graduate certificate program, you develop a foundation of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) skills that are enhanced by specialized training. Using industry standard software, you manipulate, analyze, and present data from spaceborne, airborne, and terrestrial systems.<br>Through practical hands-on projects that build on your foundational skills you learn how to:<br>Pilot Remotely Piloted Airborne Systems (RPAS) drones and utilize land-based Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) survey equipment to collect data.<br>Source available Earth observation (EO) data from government, industry, and research organizations.<br>Interpret and analyze LiDAR, RaDAR, multispectral, hyperspectral and thermal imagery.<br>Present 2D and 3D geospatial information in reports, plans, and digital or hard-copy maps<br>Apply geodesy, programming, and database fundamentals.<br>Integrate, manipulate and manage remotely sensed datasets in a GIS to uncover insights.<br>This program is offered at the Centre of Geographic Sciences (COGS), Canada's largest geomatics-focused learning environment, and prepares you for a career in the global geomatics sector.
