The course will aim to introduce the remote sensing techniques to different kind of users, and give them the ability to be familiar with image processing software ERDAS IMAGINE 2014.

Part I:Cover the basic concepts of remote sensing technique, data types and enhancement of raw image using ERDAS IMAGINE 2014.

Part II:Concern on the application of image enhancement and processing for land use

applications on ERDAS IMAGINE 2014.

Level 2(Remote Sensing Applications)Estimated time: 20 HoursSoftware Required: ERDAS IMAGINE 2014

• Noise reduction• Histogram match• Atmospheric correction• Evaluation

• One of the general aims of the course is providing the business market with skilled cadres they are familiar with processing and analysis of satellite data in different disciplines.

• The course will continue the concept of taking information from ancillary data and field measurements by using the digital satellite images.• The trainee has to deal with the processes of image processing and classification modules.

• The trainee can differentiate between land units, geological features (rock unit, lineaments, and ores) and also can construct layout maps in different layers.

Part I:Concern on the classification of images and their applications for land observations using ERDAS IMAGINE 2014.

Part II:Deal with the application of remote sensing in geological mapping and features extractions using ERDAS IMAGINE 2014.

A. Spatial and spectral enhancement.• Resample image• Image sharpen and fusion• Resolution merge• Non-directional edge (Lineaments extraction)• Principal component concept• Principal component analysis• Inverse principal component• Tasseled cap transformation• Band rationing and Indices• Using NDVI indices• Create band ratio

B. Classification.• Unsupervised and supervised classification• Signature Editor

• Classify based unsupervised m o d u l e• Classify based supervised module• Editing classes via attribute table• Export attribute table• Export image to ArcGIS

C. Post-classification.• Accuracy assessment

• GPS and ground truth• Create random points• Input GCP (ground control point)• Unsupervised classified image assessment• Supervised classified image assessment• Classify small area (Project)• Evaluation

We have another advanced and specialized GIS and Remote Sensing course levels that we can offered later.

1. General terms and conditions

• All trainees will have Arab Nubia and GIS Academy training certificate.• We provide training data and user manuals with course.• This offer is valid for 30 days.• The course will be about 4 to 5 hours per day and 3 days per week.
