Prerequisites:   An introductory course on Remote Sensing, or Earth Science, or Atmospheric Physics, or Hyperspectral Imaging, or Permission of Instructor.

This course will provide the requisite materials to understand advanced hyperspectral imaging (HSI) technology and multi-sensor concepts.  It will cover many civil and military applications.  The emphasis will be on the scientific principles involved and the transition of the technology to real world applications.  Topics that will be covered include Advanced Hyperspectral Concepts, Multi-System Tradeoffs, Data Collection and Processing Systems, Imaging Radar Systems, Laser Systems, Calibration Techniques, Data Fusion, Quantitative Remote Sensing Techniques, Data Compression Techniques, Case Studies, and U.S National Policy.  The quantitative remote sensing techniques will include N-Dimensional Analysis to include literal and non-literal information extraction techniques.  Applications and case studies will include environmental, medical, military, agricultural, transportation, and others.  Ground, airborne, and spaceborne systems will be covered.
