Develop Clustering Models with Azure ML Designer
This is an intermediate project on creating clustering models in Azure Machine Learning Studio. Familiarity with any Web Browser and navigating Windows Desktop is assumed. Some background knowledge on Machine Learning or Cloud computing is beneficial but not required to complete this project. Understanding how platform services in the cloud work and how machine learning algorithms function would be of great help in understanding better what we are executing in this guided project. Some minimal data engineering and data scientist knowledge is required. This guided project has the aim to demonstrate how you can create Machine Learning models by using the out-of-the-box solutions that Azure offers, by just using these services as-is, on your own data. The main focus is on the data and how this is being used by the services. As this project is based on Azure technologies, an Azure subscription is required. The project also outlines a step where an Azure subscription will be created and for this, the following items are required: a valid phone number, a credit card, and a GitHub or Microsoft account username. The series of tasks will mainly be carried out using a web browser. If you enjoy this project, we recommend taking the Microsoft Azure AI Fundamentals AI-900 Exam Prep Specialization: https://www.coursera.org/specializations/microsoft-azure-ai-900-ai-fundamentals

Remote Sensing Image Acquisition, Analysis and Applications
Welcome to Remote Sensing Image Acquisition, Analysis and Applications, in which we explore the nature of imaging the earth's surface from space or from airborne vehicles. This course covers the fundamental nature of remote sensing and the platforms and sensor types used. It also provides an in-depth treatment of the computational algorithms employed in image understanding, ranging from the earliest historically important techniques to more recent approaches based on deep learning. It assumes no prior knowledge of remote sensing but develops the material to a depth comparable to a senior undergraduate course in remote sensing and image analysis. That requires the use of the mathematics of vector and matrix algebra, and statistics. It is recognised that not all participants will have that background so summaries and hand worked examples are included to illustrate all important material. The course material is extensively illustrated by examples and commentary on the how the technology is applied in practice. It will prepare participants to use the material in their own disciplines and to undertake more detailed study in remote sensing and related topics.

Visual Elements of User Interface Design
This design-centric course examines the broad question of what an interface is and what role a designer plays in creating a user interface. Learning how to design and articulate meaning using color, type, and imagery is essential to making interfaces function clearly and seamlessly. Through a series of lectures and visual exercises, you will focus on the many individual elements and components that make up the skillset of an interface designer. By the end of this course, you will be able to describe the key formal elements of clear, consistent, and intuitive UI design, and apply your learned skills to the design of a static screen-based interface. This is the first course in the UI/UX Design Specialization, which brings a design-centric approach to user interface (UI) and user experience (UX) design, and offers practical, skill-based instruction centered around a visual communications perspective, rather than on one focused on marketing or programming alone. These courses are ideal for anyone with some experience in graphic or visual design and who would like to build their skill set in UI or UX for app and web design. It would also be ideal for anyone with experience in front- or back-end web development or human-computer interaction and want to sharpen their visual design and analysis skills for UI or UX.
