Remote Sensing & Satellite Image Analyses in QGIS for Beginners
Do you need to use satellite Remote Sensing in your work but don't know how to apply Remote Sensing analysis?
Do you find Remote Sensing books & manuals too not practical and looking for a course that takes you by hand, teach you all the concepts, and get you started on a real-life Remote Sensing analysis project?
I'm very excited that you have found my Fundamentals of applied Satellite Remote Sensing in the QGIS course. My course provides you with all the necessary theoretical knowledge and practical skills to implement PRACTICAL, Remote Sensing analysis starting with the basics concepts of Remote Sensing and equipping you with all necessary knowledge and skills to implement your own independent Remote Sensing analysis Project in great QGIS open-source software! I will also demonstrate to you how to implement Remote Sensing analyses in the latest version of open-source software QGIS, thus that you could immediately start using satellite images for your work and Remote Sensing projects.
This fundamental 4-hour course is designed to equip you with the theoretical and practical knowledge of applied Remote Sensing analysis. By the end of the course, you will feel confident and completely understand the basics of Remote Sensing and its main components, learn how to install QGIS and work with QGIS and Semi-Automatic Classification Plug-in. You will learn all basics of working with satellite imagery and planning your Remote Sensing project. We will learn in QGIS how to perform image preprocessing, calculate spectral indices, conduct land use and land cover classifications with Machine Learning algorithms, calculate change, and produce GIS maps for your reports and much more. At the end of the course, you will conduct the independent Remote Sensing project-based assignment that will allow you to train your newly acquired geospatial skills!
In this course, I will teach you how to work with the popular open-source QGIS software and its great tool, a Semi-Automated classification for Remote Sensing based analysis.
The course is ideal for professionals such as geographers, programmers, social scientists, geologists, GIS & Remote Sensing, and all other experts who need to use maps in their field and would like to learn more about geospatial analysis and satellite Remote Sensing in QGIS.
One important part of the course is the practical exercises. You will be given some precise instructions, downloadable practical materials, scripts, and datasets to create maps and conduct geospatial analysis using the QGIS software.

Final Project Task Overview
Am an ENVI & ERDAS long-time user. They never actually show you how to download and load their programs - so this was very helpful for people not used to big downloads.
This course is just wonderful, lab exercises with clear explanation has made this course really deserving for any new gis enthusiac to join this course
This Remote Sensing course is very elaborated and the teacher guide students step by step in doing exercises in QGIS as well as provides an excellent theoretical background.
This is a great match for me. I'm always keen to learn more about remote sensing and this course on fundamentals of Remote Sensing in QGIS was well-developed and detailed.
Great introductory course for satellite Remote Sensing image analysis - very clear explanations and lots of practical assignments. Thanks you, Kate, I learnt a lot!
