Below are a range of links to a variety of resources on the internet to help the user learn the fundamental elements in remote sensing and photogrammetry ranging from the basics of the electromagnetic spectrum to the reliance of sensors on-board satellites including a comprehensive study of its various and broad applications. These resources can be coupled with the Applications and Technology sections but also consider more long-term learning and discovery of remote sensing through Workshops in the form of Events and by visiting the range of universities offering such Courses.
There is a wealth of resources available on the internet for e-learning, the links below are deemed to be useful in the teaching remote sensing and photogrammetry subject to personal experience. They are hyper-linked with the relative author and organisation involved, If you would like your or any other material listed or if any of the links no longer function; please email the E&T Editor.
Dr. Nicholas M. Short of NASA produced the most comprehensive and popular tutorial currently available on the internet by introducing basics of remote sensing including its uses, history and major advances over the past 20 years. It is basically a training manual for learning the role of Remote Sensing, with its initial content from his previous text the Landsat Tutorial Workbook.
The Canada Centre for Remote Sensing has a broad library of resources for the learning of remote sensing ranging from the self teaching of image interpretation and analysis, learning the fundamentals of remote sensing to a range of interactive activities and quizzes involving animated examples of how satellite reception works to the uses of RADAR imagery combined with DEM data.
The Committee on Earth Observation Satellites (CEOS) built this particular tutorial to assist students enrolled in courses for Remote Sensing with the goal to make it easier for students to search and read relevant information in the cyber space, and to make the task simpler to modify lecture notes to include the latest development in the field.
Its purpose is to provide a basic understanding of the joint NASA/USGS Landsat 7 program and to serve as a comprehensive resource for the Landsat 7 spacecraft, its payload, the ground processing system, and methodologies for rendering Landsat 7 data into a form suitable for science.
Bilko is a piece of software developed for learning and teaching remote sensing image analysis skills. Lessons teach the application of remote sensing to oceanography and coastal management and may be applied to the analysis of any image in an appropriate format, and include a wide range of standard image processing functions. It is supported by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation.
The guides consist of two web-based instructional modules aimed towards high school and undergraduate level students that use multimedia technology and the dynamic capabilities of the web. These resources incorporate text, colorful diagrams, and animations to introduce selected topics in the field of remote sensing. Selected pages link to relevant current weather products, allowing the user to apply what has been learned in the instructional modules to real-time weather data. Part of the Weather World 2010 project at the University of Illinois.
More information can be found with the use of search engines on the internet and by reading books/key texts and journals.
