Course Description

This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to use computing platforms, software systems and image processing techniques to conduct advanced remote sensing analysis on hard copy and digital imagery. The unit covers preparing for work by analysing specifications and deciding appropriate techniques for collecting and analysing images, as well as appropriate hardware and software and image processing systems to perform the required image enhancements and manipulations. The unit also covers accessing and assessing available and suitable spatial datasets to identify constraints on use. The unit requires the ability to perform supervised and unsupervised classifications on datasets using classification algorithms, and to conduct related error analysis. It also requires the ability to merge remote sensing data and prepare data for geographic information system (GIS) integration.

The unit supports those who work in a technical management role in a spatial information services team, in areas such as cartography, town planning, mapping and GIS.
