The aim of the study course is to ensure the systematic and integrative acquisition of competencies on the application aspects and application possibilities of modern remote sensing methods and technologies in various fields of Geography and Earth Sciences. Tasks of the study course: to look in detail at the basic questions about the interaction of natural objects and electromagnetic radiation, as well as equipment and techniques for obtaining images in remote sensing. To acquaint students with the geometric and informative properties of the obtained images, image processing and decoding of various objects and their condition (interpretation of information). Language of course teaching: English Latvian.
