Description
Geoinformatics is the use of computers to process geographically-related spatial information. It includes remote sensing image analysis, geographic information systems (GIS), computer-based mapping, and similar applications. This course will familiarize students with data structures, algorithms, design concepts, and architectural issues that are important when developing geoinformatics software. By the conclusion of the course, students will understand what is `under the hood` of a remote sensing or GIS software system, as well as being able to create novel geoinformatics software. The course will be project-oriented and will involve significant amounts of programming. Students must have prior experience programming in C, C++ and/or Java to take this course.
