The training course aims to deliver the basics related to the georeferenced data management, paying particular attention to aerial and satellite data acquisition.

The main aim is to deliver to student the ability to correctly identify environmental challanges and issues, to better understand possible data to be used, its suitability, and data processing chain in order to extract vaue added information in a common georeferenced system. Students will be trained in: - ground surfaces reflectivity and emissivity basics; - electromagnegnetic sources, atmospheric layers and ground surfaces interactions; - visual perception and colorimetry; - reference systems and mapping basics; - sensors data acquisition theory and applications; - image processing; - digital filtering; - data classification; - data analisys and avaluation - environmental applications. Related to technical communication: - ability to fully analize complex environmental problems; - ability to autonomously decide the best data processing chain; - ability to assess results in a fully quantitative way; This kind of expertise will be acquired also working directly on application cases admitting different technical solutions.

Students attending this training course, already know geomatics basics (digital mapping, GPS techniques, surveying) and computer science basics.

Teaching subjects are:: - Remote sensing definition - Emissivity theory - Electromagnetic spectra and black bodies - Electromagnetic source and atmospheric interaction - Electromagnetic source and ground surfaces interaction - Visual perception and colorimetry - Digital images and acquisition systems characteristics - Data processing algorithms - Information extraction: digital filters and classifications - Extracted information assessment

The traing course is delivered both by theorethical lessons and labs; in the latter, students will use PC to process digital images based on real cases. Every student will access a single PC and will be assisted during all the labs. For the teorethical and labs parts, digital contets will be available since the beginning of the training course and labs will be duplicated based on the number of students attending.

Specific didactic material will be available, in a digital format, since the beginning of the training course, both in Italian and in English.

Modalitą di esame: Prova orale facoltativa; Prova pratica di laboratorio; Elaborato scritto individuale;

Exam: Optional oral exam; Practical lab skills test; Individual essay;

... Evaluation will be based on written and/or oral examinations, both from teorethical and lab parts, and based on the official programme and the lab exercises. Examination could be taken both written and oral; the written examination consists of two different test based on the theoretical and experimental parts. In the first, the candidate should answer to 3 different questions, while in the second, using a PC and a standard software, the candidate will answer to 30 different questions. Results of the examination are then delivered to students by means of didactic portal. Oral examination consists of a set of three questions based on theoretical part and the candidate is then asked to solve, with the usage of a PC and a standard software, a practical exercise.

Gli studenti e le studentesse con disabilitą o con Disturbi Specifici di Apprendimento (DSA), oltre alla segnalazione tramite procedura informatizzata, sono invitati a comunicare anche direttamente al/la docente titolare dell'insegnamento, con un preavviso non inferiore ad una settimana dall'avvio della sessione d'esame, gli strumenti compensativi concordati con l'Unitą Special Needs, al fine di permettere al/la docente la declinazione pił idonea in riferimento alla specifica tipologia di esame.
