Principles of Remote Sensing Syllabus for B.Tech 3rd sem is covered here. This gives the details about credits, number of hours and other details along with reference books for the course.
The detailed syllabus for Principles of Remote Sensing B.Tech (R13) thirdsem is as follows
OBJECTIVES:
- To understand the principles of radiation mechanism, and energy interactions with atmosphere and earth features.
- To gain knowledge about the gravitational fields and its variations on earth.
- To introduce imaging and non-imaging sensors in measuring and recoding energy variations.
UNIT I : ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION [9 hours]
Electromagnetic Spectrum – radiation quantities – spectral quantities – relationship between luminous and radiant quantities – hemispherical reflectance, transmittance and atmosphere measurement of electromagnetic radiation – responsivity – normalization, radiating structuresthermal emission – fluorescent emission – Radiation principles – Planck‟s law, Stephens Boltzmann law, Kirchoff‟s law.
UNIT II : INTERACTION OF EMR WITH ATMOSPHERE AND EARTH’S SURFACE [9 hours]
EMR – atmospheric scattering, Raleigh scattering, Mie scattering, non-selective scattering – atmospheric absorption – atmospheric windows, refraction – interaction of EMR earth‟s surface – reflection – transmission – spectral signature – Reflectance characteristics of Earth‟s cover type: Vegetation, water, soil – Interaction of microwave with atmosphere and Earth‟s surface – Radar operating principle – radar equation – Definitions: Incidence angle, look angle, depression angle, Azimuth angle – Spatial resolution in radar – Synthetic aperture – radar.
UNIT III : OPTICS FOR REMOTE SENSING [9 hours]
Lenses, mirrors, prisms – Defects of lens – chromatic aberration – longitudinal chromatic aberration – achromatism of lenses – achromatism for two lenses in contact – separated by a distance – spherical aberration – minimization of Spherical aberration – coma astigmatism – Radiative Transfer Functions, Lamella Pack, Volume scattering – Principles of photography: black and white photography – sensitivity – speed – characteristic curve – developing and printing – basic colour photography – construction of colour films – film type – types of filter – and its uses.
[TOTAL: 45 PERIODS]
