The syllabus of Master of Science in Geographical Information Systems (M.Sc. in GIS) program offered by University of Mysore is as follows:

FIRST SEMESTER

HARD CORE

PAPER: PRINCIPLES OF REMOTE SENSING

Objective: The objective of this paper is to understand the basic concepts of Remote Sensing and to impart to students the skills necessary for remote sensing analysis and interpretation so that students acquire transferable and also employable skills in remote sensing. This is a step ahead of the fundamentals and more practical for learning.

Introduction: Definitions, concepts and types of remote sensing, evolution, stages and advantages of remote sensing, spatial data acquisition, Electromagnetic spectrum, Characteristics of electromagnetic radiation, wavelength regions of electromagnetic radiation, types and platforms of sensors – LANDSAT, SPOT, IRS, INSAT, IKONOS, QUICKBIRD.

Digital Image Processing: Image processing systems, data formats of digital image, preprocessing, image enhancement and transformation and image classification, multispectral images, Visual Image Interpretation, remote sensing products, elements of visual interpretation, interpretation keys, generating thematic maps; thermal and radar image interpretation.

Remote Sensing Technologies: Thermal Remote Sensing – Thermal radiation principles; Precision remote sensing – spatial, spectral and temporal precision; Passive and Active Microwave Remote Sensing; RADAR – definition, development, wavelengths, airborne and space borne SLRs and their components; LiDAR – principles, components, accuracy, spectral characteristics of laser and error analysis.

Applications of Remote Sensing: Applications of remote sensing in agriculture (crop-yield estimation), forestry (vegetation index, biodiversity/species estimation), oceans and coastal monitoring (sea surface temperatures, oil spills), and monitoring atmosphere components, applications of thermal remote sensing in geology, hydrogeology and urban heat budgeting
