GIS Training Program:
Digital Image Processing for Geospatial Analysis

Course Description
A do-it-yourself training program, Image Processing Techniques for Geospatial Analysis, introduces the techniques of image processing used in geospatial analysis. The course involves hands-on training on specific GIS projects. The course is conducted both on Windows and Linux platforms.

The course is ideal for college and university students. It is also appropriate for anyone wishing to gain an understanding of image processing techniques used in geospatial analysis

Course Contents

• Importing and georeferencing raster/IRS-1C image data
• Enhancing the contrast of a raster image
• Converting a RGB raster into a COMPOSITE raster
• Converting a COMPOSITE raster into a RGB raster
• Applying raster filtering process to create a Binary Raster
• Applying raster to vector conversion operation
• Generating a digital elevation model with vector data
• Applying Colors and Rendering Relief Shading to an elevation raster
• Creating a display group using Scientific Data Visualization Technology

Enrollment
Class sizes are limited to six persons. They are kept small to ensure that students receive ample instructions and hands-on practice. For registration, click here.

Instructors
Professionals with exposure in a variety of GIS software and applications constitute the instructors.

Software
The training is conducted on a selection of GIS and image processing software with a view to facilitating an exposure to the features and capabilities of these software in GIS, image processing, CAD, desktop cartography, surface modeling and geospatial database management. As such a student can learn to create, enhance, and analyze geospatial data in a variety of forms and make professional presentations of his or her results. A student is able to work with data from a multitude of file formats, all for a minimum time and with maximum flexibility.

Duration
Five weeks @ five hours a day from Monday through Friday

Customised Training Programs
We also offer short-duration customised training programs.
