The aim is to refresh the fundamental scientific knowledge useful for other courses. The notions to be covered include vector calculation, 2D and 3D geometry, probabilities and statistics. Some of the notions covered will be illustrated during sessions using scientific calculation software such as MATLAB.

The objective of this course is to familiarise students with images in terms of computer representation, visualisation, basic statistics, global and local radiometric processing, geometric processing.

Tutorials give students free access to Earth observation images using ENVI and BEAM VISAT processing software.

Langue de l'enseignement

FRANÇAIS / FRENCH

Introducing the basic concepts of physics required to understand the specificities and processing of remote sensing data for their applications. The concepts covered are solar and terrestrial radiation energy (measurement physics), optical remote sensing and its applications, and radar remote sensing and its applications.

Langue de l'enseignement

FRANÇAIS / FRENCH

An overview of various remote sensing applications (Lidar, radar interferometry/polarimetry, hyperspectral remote sensing, UAVs, orbitography, precise georeferencing, geomorphology, surface movement interpretation, etc.)

Langue de l'enseignement

FRANÇAIS / FRENCH

The objective is to study a subject related to remote sensing. Topics are chosen by the students under the direction of a supervisor. They can be aimed towards a specific thematic application by analysing the contribution of different sensors in remote sensing, or on the contrary, on the different applications of a specific sensor.

Langue de l'enseignement

FRANÇAIS / FRENCH

Theory of geographic vector data modelling, data acquisition and GIS. Geographical databases. Geographic data handling using PostGIS (including extensions) and QGIS software in order to more easily follow other modules dealing with vector geographic data.

Langue de l'enseignement

FRANÇAIS / FRENCH

Introduction to the classical tools (geometric operators and indicators, auxiliary structures such as graphs or triangulations) allowing to extract information present only implicitly in vector and DTM geographic data. Work on the design and implementation of an analysis method based on these basic tools to respond to a given problem: characterising data by their shape or spatial configuration, performing accessibility calculations, etc. The notions seen in the form of an introduction in the M1 classes are reinforced and added to, and the diversity and volume of data processed is increased.

Langue de l'enseignement

FRANÇAIS / FRENCH

Statistical methods and tools applied to geographic information. Work on the implementation of a scientific approach adapted to the different problems and geographical data studied: statistical description of the data to be analysed, proposal of indicators and classification methods, representation of statistical results, interpretation of these results.

Langue de l'enseignement

FRANÇAIS / FRENCH

Analysis of different evolutionary phenomena: changes in the territory and movement of individuals. Manipulation of multi-date data, GPS or mobile phone traces, creation of historical data. Application to different themes: human and animal movements, simulation of urban and vegetation evolution.

Langue de l'enseignement

FRANÇAIS / FRENCH

Tutored project in small groups, solving a spatial analysis problem proposed by a sponsor (a research laboratory). The objectives are the acquisition of autonomy in the modelling and spatial analysis of geographic vector data, in-depth study of a theme, communication with a sponsor who is not necessarily a specialist in spatial analysis and learning to work in a team.

Langue de l'enseignement

FRANÇAIS / FRENCH

The objective of this module is to allow students to acquire or reinforce (according to their previous knowledge) their knowledge and know-how in programming in order to manipulate vector geographic data, to give them the basics of the Python language, and to introduce them to Python libraries for manipulating geographic data, including the QGIS API.

Langue de l'enseignement

FRANÇAIS / FRENCH

This subject aims, on the one hand, to open up the field of scientific and technical knowledge related to the Master's degree, thanks to oral presentations by French or English-speaking lecturers, organised with two other Master’s programmes in remote sensing in Paris. On the other hand, students are encouraged to explore a field of geomatics that they choose according to their interests or their professional project, during a bibliographical study conducted during the first four months of the year. This study is supported by two planned individual progress meetings, and results in a written and oral report.

Langue de l'enseignement

FRANÇAIS / FRENCH

The aim is to enable students to learn about a certain number of methods and tools relating to the gathering and analysis of data in general, and which can be used in the other modules of the course: using heterogeneous geographic data, automatic learning, validating a classification method, etc.

Langue de l'enseignement

FRANÇAIS / FRENCH

This project is carried out by the students from the beginning of the school year, in groups, with part-time supervision. Objectives: to stimulate class cohesion, to stimulate students' initiative and the pooling of their existing skills, to arouse their curiosity about future theoretical contributions, to give them experience of group work and oral feedback allowing them to benefit from non-summative feedback.

Langue de l'enseignement

FRANÇAIS / FRENCH

A 4 to 6 month internship on a subject defined by a host organisation which may be a research laboratory or a private or public company. Confrontation with the professional world and a real research question related to the themes studied during the IGAST Master 2.
