Remote Sensing in ArcGIS Overview

The Remote Sensing in ArcGIS course provides an in-depth exploration of remote sensing techniques using ArcGIS. This course equips learners with the skills to handle and analyse satellite imagery effectively. Participants will gain hands-on experience with essential tools and methodologies, including layer stacking, georeferencing, raster analysis, and site suitability assessments. By the end of this course, learners will be proficient in applying remote sensing techniques to various geographic and environmental projects, enhancing their spatial analysis capabilities.

Learning Outcomes

• Understand the principles of remote sensing and the different types of satellite images and spectral bands.
• Apply layer stacking techniques to combine multiple satellite images for comprehensive analysis.
• Perform accurate georeferencing of satellite images to align them with spatial data.
• Utilise geoprocessing raster tools to perform essential raster data operations.
• Execute raster analysis functions to interpret and analyse spatial data effectively.
• Georeference toposheets to integrate historical maps with modern spatial data.
• Conduct site suitability analysis using weighted overlay methods to identify optimal locations for specific purposes.
• Perform advanced site suitability analysis by applying additional criteria and weights.
• Delineate watersheds from Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) to understand hydrological patterns.
• Apply unsupervised classification techniques to categorise land cover and use patterns in satellite imagery.
