Get hands – on knowledge and practice on one of the most important skills in modern technology industry: Digital Image Processing

Enroll now!

Are you familiar with image processing techniques, but struggle with code (or vice versa)? Are you a remote sensing professional or student, looking to delve into using and developing image processing algorithms? Or are you in a software engineering discipline, looking to expand your work field? Or maybe just curious about how Instagram filters work? Then this course is for you!

Understand both the theory behind image processing methods and how to master code to manipulate the parameters as you wish and get the desired results. After completing this course, you will be in position to write your own scripts for basic image processing, as well as being confident to either try more complicated scripts, or to understand and implement more difficult image processing methods.

About your Instructor

I'm a Remote Sensing and a Surveying Engineer. I received my degree from NTUA in 2010, where I also received my Ph.D. in hyperspectral remote sensing in 2016. From graduation in 2010, my career started as a Researcher Associate and Teaching Associate in the Laboratory of Remote Sensing of NTUA. From that time I also worked at several private companies as a Remote Sensing Expert and Geospatial Analyst. From the beginning of 2015 I was positioned as Senior Earth Observation Expert. During these years, I have participated in more than 20 funded European Commission and European Space Agency projects, have over 16 peer reviewed scientific publications in the field of Remote Sensing, and have an international patent in hyperspectral data compression.My main research and professional interests are in the optical remote sensing area, where I specialize in data (images, point measurements) processing and algorithm design and development. Some of the software tools that I operate to accomplish my research and business dreams are SNAP, ENVI, IDL, QGIS, ERDAS Imagine, ArcGIS, and Python. I have been working with these tools since 2008.
