Introduction to Remote Sensing and GIS

Learn about Remote Sensing, GIS, and Image Processing, the techniques for the creation and analysis of spatial data, in a Self-Paced Certificate Course. Shapefile, Gridfiles, coordinate systems, attribute table creation, data representation, layer generation, geodatabase postulation, etc. relevant topics required for the digitization of maps for data representation and processing were covered with Self Explanatory Presentations along with example problems. On securing pass marks in the Weekly Assignments and End of the Month Tests, a Certificate of Completion is provided. Scope of publication will also be granted at the end of the course and on securing pass marks in the assignment and tests.
