Aim

The aim of the course is to provide theoretical and practical knowledge on the generation of and information extraction from multi-spectral images in different wavelength regions and on different spatial scales. Basic knowledge on image processing should be attained.

Learning outcomes

Knowledge and understanding
For a passing grade the student must

• understand how techniques, common to all fields can be used to extract physical and chemical information from images
• have a basic knowledge on how spectroscopy allows to characterize materials and phenomena
• have basic knowledge on image analysis and multi-variate methods

Competences and skills
For a passing grade the student must

• be able to assess which spectral region is useful for a particular task
• be able to assess which characteristics are useful for a definite characterization of an image pixle
• be able to work with image analysis tools
• have an increased competence for presenting in writing an accomplished project
• have an increased experience in working in groups of two or four persons towards a common goal
• have improved knowledge on how to extract relevant data from literature references (project).

Judgement and approach
For a passing grade the student must

be able to judge the power of multispectral imaging techniques to extract physical and chemical information from images recorded in different wavelength bands.
