Summary<br />
This three-day short course workshop will review<br />
remote sensing concepts and vocabulary including<br />
resolution, sensing platforms, electromagnetic<br />
spectrum and energy flow profile. The workshop will<br />
provide an overview of the current and near-term<br />
status of operational platforms and sensor systems.<br />
The focus will be on methods to extract information<br />
from these data sources. The spaceborne systems<br />
include the following; 1) high spatial resolution (< 5m)<br />
systems, 2) medium spatial resolution (5-100m)<br />
multispectral, 3) low spatial resolution (>100m)<br />
multispectral, 4) radar, and 5) hyperspectral.<br />
The two directional relationships between remote<br />
sensing and GIS will be examined. Procedures for<br />
geometric registration and issues of cartographic<br />
generalization for creating GIS layers from remote<br />
sensing information will also be discussed.<br />
Instructor<br />
Dr. Barry Haack is a Professor of Geographic and<br />
Cartographic Sciences at George Mason University.<br />
He was a Research Engineer at ERIM and has held<br />
fellowships with NASA Goddard, the US Air Force and<br />
the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. His primary professional<br />
interest is basic and applied science using remote<br />
sensing and he has over 100 professional publications<br />
and has been a recipient of a Leica-ERDAS award for<br />
a research manuscript in Photogrammetric<br />
<strong>Engineering</strong> and Remote Sensing. He has served as a<br />
consultant to the UN, FAO, World Bank, and various<br />
governmental agencies in Africa, Asia and South<br />
America. He has provided workshops to USDA, US<br />
intelligence agencies, US Census, and ASPRS.<br />
Recently he was a Visiting Fulbright Professor at the<br />
University of Dar es Salaam in Tanzania and has<br />
current projects in Nepal with support from the National<br />
Geographic Society.<br />
