| Abstract: | Abstract This article deals with an image processing exercise used in a university undergraduate remote sensing course. The exercise shows students some techniques for delineating a non‐rectangular study area within a rectangular image data set. Rectangular data sets frequently create problems for students when their areas of interest arepolygonal in shape. An inexpensive image processing software package called Earthscope is used in this exercise. |
