Basic-13: Sensor technologies & data acquisition techniques: ASD Lab
Channel: HYPERedu
Date: 24/11/2021

There are dedicated lab spectrometers but actually, you can use some instruments in the field as well as in the lab. In another of our videos, you can see an ASD Fieldspec in the field – in this video, you’ll get to see it in a laboratory setup. This video was filmed in the spectral laboratory of the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) in Potsdam, Germany.
 
**** FREE ONLINE COURSE ****

‘Beyond the Visible – Introduction to Hyperspectral Remote Sensing‘ is the first Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) on Hyperspectral Remote Sensing presented by HYPERedu and EO-College
 
OPEN FROM 24 NOVEMBER 2021, 08:00 am GMT 

Register now: https://eo-college.org/courses/beyond-the-visible/

The course teaches the principles of imaging spectroscopy, sensor technologies and data acquisition techniques, hyperspectral data processing approaches and data sources and provides expert-guided hands-on training. 

The course was developed by GFZ Potsdam as part of the HYPERedu initiative with support from experts at various partner institutions. The development was funded within the EnMAP science program under the German Space Agency at DLR with resources from the German Federal Ministry of Economic Affairs and Energy.
