AbstractIntroduction to interactive, semi-automatic and automatic methods for image interpretation and data analysis; methodological aspects of computer-assisted remote sensing, including semantic image classification and segmentation; detection and extraction of individual objects; estimation of physical parameters.
Learning objectiveUnderstanding the tasks, problems, and applications of image interpretation; basic introduction of computational methods for image-based classification and parameter estimation (clustering, classification, regression), with focus on remote sensing.
ContentImage (and point-cloud) interpretation tasks: semantic classification (e.g. land-cover mapping), physical parameter estimation (e.g. forest biomass); Image coding and features; probabilistic inference, generative and discriminative models; clustering and segmentation; continuous parameter estimation, regression; classification and labeling; deep learning; atmospheric influences in satellite remote sensing;
LiteratureJ. A. Richards: Remote Sensing Digital Image Analysis - An Introduction

Typesession examination
Language of examinationEnglish
RepetitionThe performance assessment is offered every session. Repetition possible without re-enrolling for the course unit.
Mode of examinationoral 30 minutes
Additional information on mode of examinationThe grade will be determined by (i) a 30 minutes oral exam and (ii) graded lab assignments submitted during the semester ("obligatorische Leistungselemente"). There is no separate pass/fail for the lab part, students can present themselves for the final exam irrespective of their lab grades. The final grade depends 70% on the exam and 30% on the assignments.
This information can be updated until the beginning of the semester; information on the examination timetable is binding.
