Image processing
Image processing helps us study and understand different types of landscapes.
It uses satellite, airplane, and other pictures to make detailed maps of the land and its features. By using special techniques, like pulling out specific details or making 3D models, image processing helps scientists learn more about the land and how it changes over time.
Using image processing to make maps
USGS and CEGIS scientists analyze satellite and aerial images to create detailed maps showing things like land use, vegetation cover, and changes in terrain over time.
This helps scientists and policymakers make informed decisions about environmental management, resource planning, and disaster response.
A bird's-eye view
By using advanced computer techniques to process images, organizations can better understand our planet and its changes from a bird's-eye view.
