Landmap
The Landmap is a unique spatial data resource which can be used for a wide range of applications within many disciplines.
It currently hosts four types of satellite data, the only service in the UK to provide academia with this combination of remotely sensed imagery:
- Environment Remote Sensing (ERS) 1 & 2 Radar data used for change detection analysis, assessing coherence between images of the same geographic extent and providing information about land cover
- Landsat 4, 5 and 7 Thematic Mapper imagery used in the study of the marine environments, water resources, land use, geology, agriculture and forestry monitoring
- SPOT Applied in a similar way as Landsat, mainly concentrating on land use mapping and digital terrain modeling
- ENVISAT Advanced Synthetic Aperture Radar (ASAR) providing enhanced features such as various polarisations and modes of imagery. Provides data for both regional and local studies for applications such as land cover, subsidence and geomorphology
Landmap also provides elevational data such as the 25m Landmap DEM, georeferenced SRTM data and the Kinematic GPS survey.
Satellite data can now be explored through an interactive web map interface.
The Image Processing Course for Remote Sensing course is available online via the Landmap website
