When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?

To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.

What will I get if I subscribe to this Specialization?

When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.

Is financial aid available?

Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.

Process SAR & Multispectral is a short course for learners who want to move beyond viewing satellite imagery and begin producing structured geospatial analysis. Designed for those with basic familiarity with maps and raster imagery, the course introduces practical techniques for interpreting and analyzing satellite data in a disaster-response scenario: estimating flood extent after a major storm.

You will first work with Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), learning why it is essential when clouds block optical imagery and how speckle filtering can improve interpretability while introducing analytical trade-offs. The course then transitions to multispectral imagery, where you explore change detection across time to identify areas where surface conditions may have shifted after the storm. Finally, you will evaluate whether your results are reliable enough to share by interpreting simple accuracy metrics and identifying limitations in your analysis. Through guided videos, applied exercises, and scenario-based assessments, you will build both technical understanding and analytical judgment—preparing you for more advanced geospatial analysis workflows.

单元详情

In this module, you are introduced to SAR as a practical disaster-response data source that remains available even when optical imagery is blocked by clouds. You focus on one core barrier to using SAR confidently: speckle. Rather than treating speckle as a vague “noise problem,” you learn what it looks like, why it occurs, and how filtering changes interpretability. The module is designed to develop judgment: you learn to apply speckle filtering, compare outcomes, and reason about trade-offs because aggressive smoothing can hide meaningful edges while weak filtering may leave the scene unreadable.

In this module, you move from preprocessing to analysis. Using multispectral imagery captured across time, you perform change detection to identify where surface conditions shifted after a storm event. The module emphasizes interpretive reasoning: you learn that a “change map” is not automatically a flood map, and you must think about what the change signal could represent. You also learn how to structure your outputs so you can communicate results clearly, highlighting what changed, where confidence is higher, and what limitations remain.

The final module teaches you the habit that makes your work trustworthy: evaluation. You learn that classification outputs can look convincing while still being wrong in critical ways. The module introduces beginner-friendly accuracy evaluation concepts and asks you to make judgment calls: is this accurate enough for the decision at hand, and what would you disclose as limitations? This module ties directly to operational credibility because in real flood response, the cost of being confidently wrong is high.
