Supervised Image Classification – Germantown, Maryland

The fifth module for Remote Sensing and Photo Interpretation introduced Supervised and Unsupervised Digital Image Classification techniques. These are automated processes for converting a spectral class, a group or cluster of spectrally similar pixels, into an information class, i.e. land use/land cover class of interest. Using multi-spectral data and spectral pattern recognition techniques, the algorithm may take many spectral classes to describe a single information class. Similarly one spectral [...]

Multispectral Data Analysis – Olympic Pensinula, Washington

This week's Remote Sensing and Photo Interpretation lectures and lab assignment introduced a myriad of information related to image preprocessing. Functionality and various atmospheric correction techniques were discussed, followed by in depth look at several vegetation indices. The textbook provided great detail of the spectral characteristics of vegetation, including how visible light interacts with tree leaves and canopies. The lab introduced data acquisition and the USGS Global Visualization Viewer [...]

Introduction to ERDAS Image – Washington Forest Thematic Data

The third lab assignment for Remote Sensing/Photo Interpretation introduces ERDAS (Earth Resources Data Analysis System) Image. The first part of the lab provided a basic overview of the program, initially with some rudimentary tasks involving Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) imagery and a LANDSAT Thematic Mapper (TM) satellite image of forestland in Washington State. Working with the data from the Olympic Peninsula in Washington, learned how to add [...]
