Remote Sensing - Lecture - 4: 

Remote Sensing - Lecture - 4

Remote Sensing: 

Remote Sensing What can we Sense? What is Resolution? Techniques of Remote Sensing

What can we Sense?: 

What can we Sense? - shape - colour / brightness - motion - changes - contrast - texture

Shape: 

Shape regular ( ) Irregular ( ) relationships between shapes ( ) - smoke stack and building = plant - smoke stack only = abandoned site = under construction = secret bunker

Colour / Brightness: 

Colour / Brightness Human eye can “see” in three colour bands - blue (0.35-0.45 m), green (0.45-0.55 m), and red (0.55-0.7 m) Information in light - natural (green, brown, blue) - artificial (orange, red, purple) - shiny (reflective) - dull (absorbs light) - bright (light on - habited) - dark (light off - abandoned)

Motion: 

Motion Inferred from target (highways → cars → moving) Fast motion - image smear along the line of motion Drift - shift from one image to the next - river current, icebergs, clouds

Changes: 

Changes Seasonal → spring - ground under trees → summer - tree canopy Weather change → rain, snow Construction in progress → trucks, workers Spread of crop stress → drought, disease

Texture: 

Texture Gives a tactile sense - surface irregularities - texture scale > scale of detection - undulation - texture scale < scale of detection - roughness Can we determine texture remotely? Surface micro-shadows! - reflectivity may varying with angle of incidence and viewing angle - reflectivity may varying with wavelength (wavelength is the scale of detection)

Contrast: 

Contrast Differences within an image - shape - colour / brightness - motion - texture

What is Resolution?: 

What is Resolution? Spatial - physical dimensions, “Ground Sample Distance” - magnification of optics Brightness - reflectivity, material, incident light - sensitivity of detector Colour - material, coating, composition - colour of incident light Temporal - movement, seasonal change, health change, harvest, growth (city, forest) - freq. of observation, spatial motion & resolution

Wavelength Dependant Processes: 

Wavelength Dependant Processes The wavelength can help use deduce the nature of the process at work Radio (meter) - deflection of free electrons in a magnetic field Microwave (mm) - vibration of molecules - 10’s - 100’s Kelvins Infrared (10-5 meters) - molecules and weakly bound electrons (Pachen series) - molecular and crystalline vibration (radiation of heat) - 100’s - 1,000’s Kelvins

Wavelength Dependant Processes (con’t): 

Wavelength Dependant Processes (con’t) Visual (10-6 meters) - bound electrons (i.e. Balmer series) - reflection of light sources - 1,000’s - 10,000’s Kelvins Ultraviolet (10-7 meters) - highly ionized atoms - 100,000’s Kelvins X-Rays (10-10 meters) - 10’s - 100’s million Kelvins Gamma Rays (10-14 meters) - nuclear processes - matter-antimatter annihilation

Identification of Targets: 

Identification of Targets Where is it? (navigation) - know position of imager - know relative position of imager and target Orientation - know viewing direction of imager, its rotation angle (orientation) of imager and target in image Scale - know size of image, distance to target, optics (mag) Distortion - image smear, optical/imager distortion - environmentally inducted distortion (vidicon tubes and planetary magnetic fields)

Interpretation: 

Interpretation 1. Ground truth 2. Laboratory data (spectroscopy) - atomic/molecular absorption/emission - multi-spectral imaging - hyper-spectral imaging

Interpretation - Resolution: 

Interpretation - Resolution The measurement of “Resolution” is multifaceted data must be interpreted in a regional context detectors have a finit size and “number of pixels” hi-res data covers a small area ability to detect find detail may compromise our ability to interpret the image low resolution data may be more useful than data of high resolution

Multi-Spectral Imaging: 

Multi-Spectral Imaging Uses both visual & infrared imagery - visual image for identification - IR Image for interpretation - disturbed soil - vegetation - water absorption - heat sources - vehicle engines, - buildings, - plant operations

Ground Spectra:

Hyper-spectral Imaging: 

Hyper-spectral Imaging - detailed sampling over a broad range of wavelengths - narrow bands give spectra for every pixel

Techniques of Remote Sensing: 

Techniques of Remote Sensing Passive Landsat, Spot, etc. NOAA – weather, crop, civilization management Active Microwave radar systems - Radarsat

Applications : 

Applications Agriculture, Forestry and Range Resources - crop measurement, assessment and management - measurement of biomass on range for livestock - crop health monitoring Mapping - identify land use, changes in usage and growth Geology - mapping of land forms and features (faults), mineral identification and mapping

Applications (con’t): 

Applications (con’t) Water Resources - mapping of water boundaries and water inventory - mapping floods and flood plains - measurement of and changes to glacial boundaries Oceanography and Marine Resources - mapping of near-surface features & those at depth - mapping of turbidity and circulation patterns - detection of marine organisms Environment - monitoring of surface mining and reclamation - detection and monitoring of and air/water pollution - monitoring human defoliation and deforestation

Composites: 

Composites Discrimination of Human Eye - 200 shades of gray - 20,000 steps of colour! Colour images do not just look good, they can make visible fine gradations in detail.

Composites (con’t): 

Composites (con’t) Used to contrast subtle differences between images of various spectral bands NIR (0.7-1.1 m) - discriminates between soil and veg. - lower reflectance off leaves with lower moisture SWIR (1.1-3.0 m) oil on water due to smooth surface - detects soil moisture content (crop drainage) MWIR (2.0-5.0 m) discriminates between mixed thermal emission (smoke and steam), sees through smoke LWIR (5.0-14.0 m) shows “warm” thermal emission - thermal inertia of objects, allows material identification

Image Processing: 

Image Processing Calibration → Registration → Enhancement Calibration removes artificial distortions - Restoration - removes contaminating artifacts in original data (geometric, radiometric) - Rectification - corrects geometric distortions due to varied range distance, elevation, etc. Registration - images may have been taken with different instruments, magnifications and at different orientations - scales and aligns images

Enhancements (Image Processing): 

Enhancements (Image Processing) A Law! Enhancements must not create detail. It may only reveal it by removing or suppressing unnecessary information. Enhancing causes information to be discarded. Raw images should begin with large dynamic range. Why? - magnification - brightness adjustment (lighten or darken) - contrast adjustment (increase or decrease) - spatial filtering (can bring out fine details) - subtract 2 images of different spectral bands . . .
