Description:
The Remote Sensing Core Curriculum (RSCC), sponsored by the International Center for Remote Sensing Education (ICRSE), NASA, and the American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ASPRS), is an education program developed in cooperation with international experts and businesses to ensure an authoritative and substantive curriculum in remote sensing. The curriculum includes a series of lecture outlines, accompanied by self-contained laboratory exercises developed to support the advancing technologies of remote sensing and its integration with spatial information systems. Digital data sets from existing and planned satellite missions will enhance the understanding of advanced concepts. The RSCC design will ensure full access to data sets, operating software, and lecture materials via the RSCC home page. The lecture series is organized under five volumes:

Volume 1: Airphoto Interpretation and Photogrammetry
Volume 2: Overview of Remote Sensing of the Environment
Volume 3: Introductory Digital Image Processing;
Volume 4. Remote-Sensing Applications; and
Volume 5. K-12 Education.
