LASR 211 Advanced Topics in Imaging and Remote Sensing3 credits
This course is a continuation of LASR 204 Communication, Imaging, and Remote Sensing . This course provides an in-depth understanding, aligned with intensive practice, of industry-standard imaging and remote-sensing systems. The operation, installation, calibration, troubleshooting, and repair of forward-looking-infrared systems (FLIR) and LIDAR are introduced. Students also practice image processing to be able to use devices to enhance logistics and control issues in a safe and reliable manner.
Prerequisites: LASR 204
Course Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course students will be able to:
- Review and describe optical systems and test specifications for remote sensing applications
- Develop optical system requirements for specific applications that include required laser power, detector bandwidth and sensitivity, and acceptable SNR
- Determine image resolution requirements and limitations per technical specifications
- Evaluate system requirements in terms of the physical and electrical requirements of a given power supply
- Compare alternative imaging and remote sensing techniques
- Use optical software to build a system model and predict expected performance
- Identify and select images to be processed as live, print, picture, or copy
- Incorporate and set up a selected data-acquisition method to capture/obtain digital images/data of experiment
- Edit digital images for color correction, size, crop, orientation, and other requirements using image processing software according to requirements
- Organize and prepare documents, digital files, and reports as needed
- Ensure appropriate safety procedures (eye safety, burn safety, etc.) in accordance with ANSI and OSHA standards
Total Hours: 50 Theory (Lecture) Hours: 10 Guided Practice (Lab or Clinical) Hours: 40
