Seminars in remote sensing
### Working language
Portuguese and English
### Goals
The objective of this UC is to provide students with a cycle of Lectures on various specialty topics that are not covered in the remaining UC of the CE. These Lectures are intended to be a training and didactic complement and will be delivered predominantly by specialists, either researchers (national or foreign who travel to Porto within the scope of projects. or collaborations with the CE teaching staff), or professionals from companies with activities linked to the DR. Former students of the Masters in Remote Sensing at FCUP, which operated between 2000 and 2007, whose activity is linked to DR, will also be invited, with the aim of transmitting their academic and professional experience to students.
### Learning outcomes and skills
At the end of the UC, it is intended that students have broadened their knowledge to other domains of DR, contacted researchers and professionals with different experiences, broadened their critical and analytical sense, as well as their ability to carry out autonomous work.
### Working mode
In person
### Program
Seminars on topics related to the Master's theme, which may be of a more scientific or more technical content, given predominantly by invited national or foreign specialists. Since the master's degree covers a wide range of applications, the possible topics are very wide and will naturally vary from one year to the next.
Examples of possible topics:
\- Coastal bathymetry with lidar
\- Sensors on board unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) and range of applications
\- Gravimetric Satellites
\- Innovative applications of integrated GNSSS/INS systems
\- Remote detection of vegetation
\- Remote detection of urban areas
\- etc.

### Bibliographic Notes
Bibliographic support documents will be provided for each seminar.
Examples of reference books for some areas of application are given.
### Teaching methods and learning activities
The TP will consist of seminars that will be organized in advance, taking into account the availability of the guests and the relevance of the themes for the EC.
Students will participate in person to the various Lectures given by national or foreign specialists in the area of DR. After the Lectures, students will be motivated to research one of the topics addressed, under the guidance of the UC professor and/or the specialist who presented the lecture.
In the “Other” classes, doubts will be answered about the topics covered and support will be given to carrying out individual work.
### Type of evaluation
Evaluation by final exam
### Assessment Components
Oral test: 30.00%
Written work: 70.00%
**Total:**: 100.00%
### Occupation Components
Self-study: 35.00 hours
Frequency of classes: 21.00 hours
Research work: 25.00 hours
**Total:**: 81.00 hours
### Get Frequency
Class attendance is mandatory. Students may lose attendance if they exceed the number of absences provided by law.
### Final classification calculation formula
The evaluation is done through an individual work, in article format, on a theme chosen from the list of themes of the various seminars presented. The assessment includes an oral presentation and discussion of the work.
The classification of the course is the grade of the work carried out with a weighting of 70% for the written work (T) and 30% for the oral discussion (O).
CF=T \*0.7 + O\*0.3.
