Description
This course offered by PCI Geomatics, using Geomatica Desktop Image Processing Software
Overview
Working with software to create ortho mosaics can provide flexibility and significant time savings. Many organizations choose to order imagery from a commercial vendor and perform the corrections to the data themselves.
Who is the intended audience?
If you are responsible for the production of ortho mosaics, or have an interest in creating ortho mosaics for your project or your organization, this course will teach you how to use Geomatica, which will provide all the tools you need to create highly accurate and perfectly color balanced mosaics.
What Materials will be used?
Students will be able to work with a licensed version of Geomatica as well as sample data sets to follow along with the instructor. Students are expected to install Geomatica on their computer and work with a copy of the data which will be provided.
How long will it take me to complete the course?
The course materials (videos) run for 35 minutes. You will likely play the videos several times and review certain steps. The expected time to complete the course is 2-3 hours.
Who this course is for:
- Unless you have a role or interest in processing imagery, this course is probably not for you.
