With the widespread availability of satellite and aircraft remote sensing data there is need in capacity building in key technology of image processing while avoid purchasing expensive software licenses and use software that run on any standard Personal Computer.
+
 
+
The main objective of the course is to give a compact and practical introduction to the geospatial software platform QGIS for applications using remote sensing data. Coverage of theoretical background of remote sensing is given at the beginning of every computer lab. The combined lecture and lab makes the student familiar with principles of digital image processing and GIS integration, with a focus on applications in forestry and ecology. Practical software training is  given expecting students to learn problem solving in the field of geospatial processing. Students are encouraged to use and and install the software on own laptops.

==Getting started==
+
As common for the structure of a [[wikipedia:wiki|wiki]], this tutorial consists of various pages, which are connected to  each other by a network of links.
+
 
+
You can use the tutorial in three possible ways:
+
*'''Search  for Articles''' <br> If you need information on a special topic, just use the search function in the right corner on top of this page by  typing in one or more keywords and hitting {{key|text=Enter}}.
+
*'''Work  through chronologically''' <br> If you want to start from scratch  and work through the articles in a chronological order, you can use the  [[QGIS Tutorial 2013/14|Recommended article sequence]] that is organized in the above tabs on every page as a guideline. Further, the link on the content tab gives you an overview of all articles in the tutorial category. You may also want to use the content tree on the right hand side to browse the sub-categories and articles in alphabetical order.

*'''Improve  it!''' <br> We highly encourage you to improve the wiki and  [[Help:Contents|write and edit articles]] all by your self. This will keep it up to date and  adapt it more and more to students needs. Don't be afraid, you really  don't have to be a [[wikipedia:geek|geek]] to do this!  <br> Up to now, you need to have an account to edit articles. Just  [mailto:lfehrma@gwdg.de?Subject=please_invite_me_to_AWF-Wiki! ask for  invitation here] if you want to give it a shot.
+
 
+
==Software==
+
We use the software [http://www.qgis.org/en/site QGIS] 2.0.1 "Dufour" with integrated [http://www.gdal.org GDAL 1.9.2], [http://orfeo-toolbox.org/otb Orfeo ToolBox 3.18], [http://grass.osgeo.org GRASS GIS 6.4.3], [http://www.saga-gis.org SAGA 2.1] and [http://www.r-project.org R 3.0.2].

In the articles related to the tutorial, several conventions are used to indicate certain items and actions:
+
 
+
*''rivers.shp '' - A file or directory name 
+
*{{Key|text=Enter}} - A key on the keyboard, or a button on the [[QGIS GUI]]
+
*{{typed|text=Text you type}}  - Text you type or select in a drop-down-box
+
*{{mitem|text= Menu --> Item}} - an item you find in a pull-down menu on the [[QGIS GUI]]
+
 
+
==Data we use==
+
*[[wikipedia:QuickBird|QuickBird]]
