Infrared film for aerial photography

Considerable interest has developed recently in the use of aerial photographs for agricultural management. Even the simplest hand-held aerial photographs, especially those taken with color infrared film, often provide information not ordinarily available through routine ground observation. When fields are viewed from above, patterns and variations become more apparent, often allowing problems to

Availability of communication links for transfer of Landsat Data

This document outlines the availability of civil satellite and ground communication links existent within the international community and the USA which have direct applicability in the operational transfer of Landsat data between nations.

Digital and photographic processing study for shallow seas mapping from landsat

The application of contrast stretch and haze removal techniques to Landsat/MSS imagery for shallow seas bathymetry is discussed. The application of these techniques is based upon procedures inherent in the EDIPS system processing. Application of both MSS band 4 and band 5 data are discussed in lx and 3x gain mode. Both quantitative and qualitative (imagery) data are used to demonstrate the existen

Low-cost computer classification of land cover in the Portland area, Oregon, by signature extension techniques

Computer-aided techniques for interpreting multispectral data acquired by Landsat offer economies in the mapping of land cover. Even so, the actual establishment of the statistical classes, or "signatures," is one of the relatively more costly operations involved. Analysts have, therefore, been seeking cost-saving signature extension techniques that would accept training data acquired at one time

A perspective on remote sensing for wildlife management

The Pecora IV Symposium (Applications of Remote Sensing Data to Wildlife Management) conducted October 10-12, 1978, in Sioux Falls, S.D.; provided a perspective on the uses of remote sensing techniques for wildlife management. The task of summarizing the Symposium, which is the objective of this paper, is not simple because of the diversity of opinions presented regarding (a) the magnitude of the

Quantitative wildlife habitat evaluation using high-altitude color infrared aerial photographs

The habitat value for elk and sage grouse of two proposed phosphate strip mine sites was determined using habitat parameter measurements from high-altitude color infrared aerial photographs. Habitat suitability was assessed using the Habitat Evaluation Procedures being developed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Similar results were obtained from two approaches--a remote-sensing-only approa
