You are required to complete a comprehensive academic report for two coursework modules: MTCG5092 Earth Observation Applications and MTCG5093 Geospatial Analytics. The work must be completed to a high academic standard, fully aligned with the official coursework requirements.

General Requirements

• Each report must be approximately 2500 words.
• Formatting must follow: Times New Roman, size 12, 1.5 line spacing, A4 page, 2 cm margins.
• Use formal academic writing (impersonal, past tense).
• Ensure clear structure, logical flow, and proper section headings.
• Apply Harvard referencing style consistently.
• Use academic sources only (journals, textbooks, conference papers).
• The work must be original and demonstrate critical analysis, not just description.
• Include figures, diagrams, and tables where appropriate (with captions).

Required Software and Tools

The following software must be used where applicable to support analysis, visualization, and examples:

Remote Sensing (MTCG5092)

• ENVI for hyperspectral and thermal image analysis
• ERDAS IMAGINE for raster processing and classification
• SNAP for SAR and InSAR processing
• MATLAB for signal processing and data analysis (optional)

GIS and Spatial Analysis (MTCG5093)

• ArcGIS Pro main tool for spatial analysis, overlay, and network analysis
• QGIS alternative GIS platform
• Google Earth Engine for large-scale geospatial data processing (optional)

Part 1: MTCG5092 Earth Observation Applications

You must complete all six tasks in a structured report:

Task 1: Advancement of Microwave Remote Sensing (450 words)

Provide a detailed analysis including:

• Historical development
• Active vs passive sensing
• Sensor and antenna types
• Airborne vs spaceborne platforms

Task 2: Microwave Radar Imagery (450 words)

Evaluate:

• Radar image characteristics and resolution
• Radar geometry
• SAR and InSAR techniques (use SNAP where relevant)
• Image interpretation principles

Task 3: Thermal Remote Sensing (350 words)

Explain:

• Thermal radiation principles
• Terrain thermal behavior
• Thermal sensor types

Task 4: Aerial Thermal Imagery (400 words)

Assess:

• Image characteristics
• Common errors and correction techniques
• Environmental applications (use ENVI or ERDAS for examples)

Task 5: Hyperspectral Remote Sensing (400 words)

Explain:

• Concept and importance
• Main hyperspectral systems
• Data characteristics (high spectral resolution)

Task 6: Errors in Hyperspectral Data (450 words)

Examine:

• Noise and atmospheric effects
• Correction methods (e.g., atmospheric correction in ENVI)
• Reflectance spectrum analysis

Part 2: MTCG5093 Geospatial Analytics

Complete all four tasks:

Task A: Spatial Analysis & Data (600 words)

• Critically evaluate spatial analysis in decision-making
• Explain spatial thinking
• Include a real-world case study (e.g., urban planning, disaster management)

Task B: Map Overlay Techniques (600 words)

• Explain vector overlay (Intersection, Clip, Erase) using ArcGIS or QGIS
• Explain raster overlay using map algebra

Task C: Surface Analysis (600 words)

• Define DEM, DSM, DTM
• Perform and explain slope and visibility analysis (ArcGIS tools recommended)

Task D: Network Analysis (700 words)

Discuss:

• Shortest Path
• Travelling Salesman Problem
• Location-Allocation
• Vehicle Routing

Support explanations using ArcGIS Network Analyst or QGIS tools.

Additional Instructions

• Each task must be clearly labeled and separated.
• Provide practical examples using the software tools listed above.
• Include screenshots or figures from software outputs where relevant.
• Demonstrate strong understanding, critical thinking, and real-world application.
• Ensure the final document is complete, accurate, and ready for submission via Turnitin.

The final work must reflect a high level of technical knowledge, correct use of tools, and strong academic writing suitable for achieving a high grade.
