Fundamentals of Satellite Image Quality and Interpretation (Kaan Kalkan)

Earth Observation Summer School 2026 17 Aug 2026 – 21 Aug 2026, Istanbul, Turkey https://opengeohub.org/events/earth-observation-summer-school-2026 This lecture introduces the fundamental concepts that determine satellite image quality and their impact on image interpretation. Key parameters such as spatial resolution, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), modulation transfer function (MTF), and viewing geometry are explained. Participants will learn how these factors influence the usability and reliability of Earth observation data.
