REMOTE SENSING AND GEO BIG DATA

- at least one report related to 1st group of exercises:
  - EXERCISE 1 - Reference frame transformations and coordinate system conversions
  - EXERCISE 2 - Absolute positioning and troposphere remote sensing
- at least one report related to 2nd group of exercises:
  - EXERCISE 3 - Handling spectral indices
  - EXERCISE 4 - 3D reconstruction with Agisoft Metashape: satellite imagery
- at least one report related to 3rd group of exercises:
  - EXERCISE 5 - Flood mapping with SAR
  - EXERCISE 6 - Machine Learning with Google Earth Engine

EXERCISE 7 - Drought monitoring with Google Earth Engine

each additional report, if correct, will be positively evaluated up to +1/30 for the final mark according to the following rule:

FMR = A + (N-3)*(A-18)/(30-18)

N = number of submitted reports

A = average mark of all the N submitted reports

FMR = final mark for reports

example:

N = 5

A = 27

if all reports are correct: FMR = 27 + 2*(27-18)/(30-18) = 28,5

all the reports must be submitted in PDF format through Google Classroom at least one week before each exam session

2. a written questionnaire on some topics discussed during the course to be completed in two hours in the classroom during each exam session

example:

FMQ = 28

The final mark will be the average of the final mark for homework reports (FMR) and the final mark of classroom questionnaire (FMQ):

FM = (FMQ + FMR)/2 = 28,25 ---> (rounding) ---> 28

Exam rules for PhD candidates

Exam for PhD candidates attending (completely or partially) the course will consist in the written and oral presentation (15 minutes) of a research project related to one (or more) topic(s) of the course agreed in advance with the teachers.

For PhD candidates the passed exam grants 6 CFU.

The written presentation (slides) must be submitted in advance, at least one week before the date of the oral presentation, through Google Classroom.

Dates and houres of the oral presentations are generally the same of the classroom works for MSc students (see hereafter), but they can be agreed with the teachers in case of special needs.
