optical systems, designing for system requirements, and analytic tools
including the modulation transfer function for describing the imaging
and beam-conditioning properties of typical optical systems, including
lenses, mirrors, cameras, and telescopes.
EELE 583 REMOTE SENSING SYSTEMS
S alternate years, to be offered even years 3 cr. LEC 3
PREREQUISITE: EELE 334 or PHSX 423 or equivalent.
-- Design, analysis, and calibration of electromagnetic remote sensing
systems. Combines an introduction to atmospheric radiative transfer
and wave propagation principles with detailed coverage of radiometry
and optical detectors to analyze remote sensing systems. The course
considers the full electromagnetic spectrum, but emphasizes optical
systems at ultraviolet, visible, and infrared wavelengths, including
cameras, spectrometers, radiometers, polarimeters, multispectral and
hyperspectral imagers, laser radars, etc.
