Courses

Remote sensing

This course aims at exposing the students to the main concepts, instruments and techniques of environmental remote sensing. The interactions between waves and matter, different types of sensors and image-processing techniques are presented.

Atmospheric processes: from cloud to global scales

The main objective is to present important atmospheric processes from the local to global scales. The course will start with cloud processes, continue to synoptic phenomena like extratropical cyclones and fronts, to finally cover numerical modeling at the regional and global scales.

Sensing and spatial modeling for earth observation

The course is organized in three main parts. 1. 3D reconstruction from images
  • Processes of image creation
  • Image matching, orientation and camera calibration
  • Construction of digital elevation models (DEM) and orthophotos
2. Environmental monitoring with machine learning
  • Extracting features from elevation or image data
  • Pred
