This project involves the establishment of a laboratory at Hunter College, part of the City University of New York, within the department of Geology and Geography. The project will integrate an existing program in remote sensing and image processing with related new and existing classes in geographic information systems and analytical cartography. This goal will be achieved by the establishment of a new laboratory containing four IBM-PC AT-based Earth Resources Data Analysis Systems, with associated geographic data processing modules, and the PMAP geographic information system software. When integrated with existing and new department computer hardware and software, this facility will offer a state-of-the-art instructional environment for the laboratory component of three separate but related areas of undergraduate coursework. These courses will strengthen an existing undergraduate program in remote sensing by providing a common ground between remote sensing and image processing, analytical and computer cartography, and geographic information systems. The resulting specialization will provide students with advanced undergraduate training for geographic information processing, and will give them experience with a system which is becoming something of an industry standard.

该项目涉及在纽约城市大学地质与地理系的亨特学院建立一个实验室。该项目将把现有的遥感和图像处理方案与有关的新的和现有的地理信息系统和分析制图课程结合起来。这一目标将通过建立一个新的实验室来实现，该实验室包含四个IBM-PC基于at的地球资源数据分析系统，以及相关的地理数据处理模块和PMAP地理信息系统软件。当与现有和新的部门计算机硬件和软件集成时，该设施将为三个独立但相关的本科课程领域的实验室部分提供最先进的教学环境。这些课程将通过提供遥感与图像处理、分析与计算机制图以及地理信息系统之间的共同基础来加强现有的遥感本科课程。由此产生的专业化将为学生提供地理信息处理方面的高级本科培训，并将使他们获得正在成为行业标准的系统的经验。
