This workshop was held on April 8th - 10th at the San Diego Supercomputer Center in La Jolla, California. It was sponsored by the National Science Foundation.

Workshop Overview
We are now in an era of intensive earth observation: orbital platforms generate myriad
remote sensing datastreams across a range of spatial, temporal, spectral, and radiometric
resolutions. The number and variety of "eyes in the skies" are scheduled to increase
significantly over the next few years. Tiris veritable data deluge necessitates new ways of
thinking about transforming remote sensing data into information about ecological patterns and
processes. These datastreams hold the …

Coastal Zone Landscape Classification Using Remote Sensing And Model Development, Kevin R. Slocum Jan 2002

Coastal Zone Landscape Classification Using Remote Sensing And Model Development, Kevin R. Slocum

Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects

Coastal zone landscape characterization and empirical model development were evaluated using multi-spectral airborne imagery. Collectively, four projects are described that address monitoring and classification issues common to the resource management community. Chapter 1 discusses opportunities for remote sensing. Chapter 2 examines spectral and spatial image resolution requirements, as well as training sample selection methods required for accurate landscape classification. Classification accuracy derived from 25nm imagery with 4m pixel sizes outperformed 70nm imagery with 1m pixel sizes. Eight natural and five cultural landscape features were tested for classification accuracy. Chapter 3 investigated the ability to characterize 1m multispectral imagery into rank-ordered …
