Remote Sensing, Volume 12, Issue 18

September-2 2020 - 245 articles

Cover Story: Since remote sensing is an actively developing area of science, economics, and industry, education in this field must also undergo changes. In this article, an introduction of remote sensing elements into secondary schools via interdisciplinary project "the Colors of Earth" is presented. It combines knowledge from physics, biology, geography and ITC. The students’ main task is to create various false color band compositions from the Sentinel-2 images of their neighborhood and, using this, distinguish between different types of land cover. A detailed description of the project, together with student and teacher evaluations, is presented in the paper. View this paper
