Geo University has come up with a video course that provides a detailed walkthrough guide of the European Space Agency (ESA) Sentinels Application Platform (SNAP) software.
A common architecture for all Sentinel Toolboxes is being jointly developed by Brockmann Consult, Array Systems Computing and C-S called the Sentinel Application Platform (SNAP).
The SNAP architecture is ideal for Earth Observation processing and analysis due the following technological innovations: Extensibility, Portability, Modular Rich Client Platform, Generic EO Data Abstraction, Tiled Memory Management, and a Graph Processing Framework.
This video course is structured in a way to get easily familiar with the software. Real Sentinel-1 (SAR) and Sentinel-2 (Optical) images are used during the entire course.
What will you learn?
- Basic SNAP data handling operations
- Optical Image Processing
- Sentinel-1 Ocean and Urban Applications
- Raster data management
- RADAR Image Processing
- Sentinel-2 Thematic Land and Sea Processing
Any prerequisites?
- Basic knowledge of Earth Observation or GIS is optional
- A simple laptop or desktop computer to follow the course’s steps
Course Fee: $ 29.90
