Strategies For Information -- Directed Wetlands, Norman E. G. Roller Jan 1981

Strategies For Information -- Directed Wetlands, Norman E. G. Roller

LARS Symposia

Protection and effective management of wetlands requires information describing their type, distribution, and condition. Inventories are carried out to obtain such information. The efficiency of inventories that produce statistical information can be improved by the use of remote sensing because the synoptic observation capabilities of remote sensors, particularly Landsat, make it possible to nearly eliminate sampling error. The information furnished by inventories designed to produce maps can be extended through the use of digital data manipulation techniques to include (1) quantitative measures of the spatial arrangement of a resource and (2) detection of changes in a resource over time.


Statistical Tests And Interactive Displays Of Landsat Classification Accuracies, R. Welch, Y. Hsu Jan 1981

Statistical Tests And Interactive Displays Of Landsat Classification Accuracies, R. Welch, Y. Hsu

LARS Symposia

In a teaching and research environment where Landsat digital data are employed on a day-to-day basis, it is often necessary to assess thematic classification accuracies in a rapid and efficient manner. While such assessments can be made by manually counting the correctly and incorrectly classified pixels in each of several test sites, this procedure is often too slow and tedious to be of effective use. Consequently, a set of interactive computer programs have been developed for use with a graphics terminal (e.g. Tektronix 4014) which determine the classification accuracies of pixels in pre-selected test sites. Results are displayed in both …


Water Quality Models With Different Functions Of Exotech Radiometer Bands, K. R. Rao, R. Krishnan, A. K. Chakraborty, B. L. Deekshatulu Jan 1981

Water Quality Models With Different Functions Of Exotech Radiometer Bands, K. R. Rao, R. Krishnan, A. K. Chakraborty, B. L. Deekshatulu

LARS Symposia

Surveillance of water quality by remote sensing technique can be pursued with advantage. An attempt has been made in this paper to obtain regional models of water quality of inland tanks and lakes. Stepwise multiple linear regression analysis between water quality parameters and several functions of Exotech radiometer band reflectance values, namely, bands alone, bands and their ratios, and, bands and their products are evaluated with respect to performance of the regression parameters. It is seen, that, the pairwise product of the reflectance in different bands is better correlated than the bands and their ratios. A possible explanation for this …


Computer-Based Classification Accuracy Due To The Spatial Resolution Using Per-Point Versus Per-Field Classification Techniques, Richard S. Latty, Roger M. Hoffer Jan 1981

Computer-Based Classification Accuracy Due To The Spatial Resolution Using Per-Point Versus Per-Field Classification Techniques, Richard S. Latty, Roger M. Hoffer

LARS Symposia

The 42.5 microradian angular IFOV of the Thematic Mapper will provide a linear spatial resolution of approximately 30 meters from the nominal altitude of 710 km. This study determined the classification accuracies achieved with MSS data of four different spatial resolutions using two different types of classifiers.

The data were obtained on May 2, 1979 with the NASA NS-001 Thematic Mapper Simulator (TMS) over an area in northeastern South Carolina from a height above ground of 5945 meters. Data sets simulating three different spatial resolutions were computed from the original 15 meter nominal spatial resolution data. The classification accuracies achieved …

Parallel Processing Implementations Of A Contextual Classifier For Multispectral Remote Sensing Data, Howard J. Siegel, Philip H. Swain, Bradley W. Smith Jan 1980

Parallel Processing Implementations Of A Contextual Classifier For Multispectral Remote Sensing Data, Howard J. Siegel, Philip H. Swain, Bradley W. Smith

LARS Technical Reports

Contextual classifiers are being developed as a method to exploit the spatial/spectral context of a pixel to achieve accurate classification. Classification algorithms such as the contextual classifier typically require large amounts of computation time. One way to reduce the execution time of these tasks is through the use of parallelism. The applicability of the CDC Flexible Processor system and of a proposed multimicroprocessor system (PASM) for implementing contextual classifiers is examined.

Application Of Multispectral Reflectance Studies Of Soils: Pre-Landsat, S. J. Kristof, M. R. Baumgardner, R. A. Weismiller, S. M. Davis

LARS Technical Reports

It was recognized in the 1960's that measuring the spectral, spatial and temporal variation of electromagnetic fields reflected and emitted from the Earth's surface had many potential applications in the field of agriculture. As a result, computer-implemented pattern recognition techniques were used to analyze multispectral data for the purpose of delineating soil differences. Spectral data were obtained (1) in the laboratory by scanning soil samples with a double-beam spectrophotometer (Beckman DK-2A) and (2) in the field by scanning large areas of soils with an airborne multispectral scanner.

The results obtained through this early research clearly illustrated relationships between the reflected …
