M.Tech in Remote Sensing and Wireless Sensor Networks

A two year M.Tech program with a total of 65 credits, this multi-disciplinary course integrates very diverse technologies like conventional remote sensing through satellite, in-situ remote sensing through the use of wireless sensor networks, wireless communication technology using software defined radio and Geographical Information Systems. The basic course begins with a strong foundation in mathematics. This is then strengthened by courses in image processing, pattern recognition, sensor technology, remote sensing, wireless networking and geographical information systems.

The basic course starts with a strong foundation in mathematics. This is strengthened by courses in image processing, pattern recognition, sensor technology, remote sensing, wireless networking and geographical information systems. Extensive lab work supplements classroom instruction. This M.Tech program was begun in May 2007 with funding from ISRO, Bangalore.
