Unilinks - Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems (RS-GIS)

ABOUT THIS PROGRAM

The Remote Sensing & Geographic Information Systems (RS&GIS) Field of Study (FoS) at the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT) was established in 1990 offering doctoral, master’s, and post-graduate diplomas and certificate studies in Remote Sensing (RS) and Geographical Information System (GIS). Starting from a research program it has become a recognized education, training, and research program satisfying the need of the region for state-of-the-art technology.

The curriculum is designed to address the theoretical aspects and practical application of space technology, especially in Remote Sensing, GIS, and GNSS. It provides students ample time and scope to gain practical experience with spatial data through laboratory sessions. Students are trained to understand the structure and characteristics of digital spatial data, its capture through airborne and spaceborne sensors; handling of big Geo data; processing, analysis, and extraction of information by digital tools, GIS, and cloud-based applications; visualizing and disseminating through web and location-based services to secure optimal use of the extracted information.

Further, coping with the demand, open-source geoinformatics is practiced along with commercially available platforms for spatial data handling and analysis.

Major areas covered in the coursework are remote sensing and GIS at a fundamental and advanced level, earth energy interaction, geometric and atmospheric corrections, application potential in various disciplines, geostatistics, geospatial modeling, Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) data acquisition, aerospace technology, InSAR fundamentals and processing, GNSS data acquisition, WebGIS, Location-based services, and integration of GIS, remote sensing and GNSS.
