The Control Point Library Building System, Wayne Niblack Jan 1979

The Control Point Library Building System, Wayne Niblack

LARS Symposia

The Control Point Library Building System (CPLBS) is an interactive, menu driven system which permits a user to accurately identify features in image data by simultaneously viewing a map and a vidicon display of the image data through a Zoom Transfer Scope, extract and store features in disk-resident libraries, and perform utility functions necessary to maintain and update the generated libraries. It was developed to permit the generation of control point libraries needed by the Master Data Processor (MDP) to perform highly accurate geometric corrections to Landsat MSS and RBV earth image data. Both CPLBS and MDP were developed by …


Directed Canonical Analysis And The Performance Of Classifiers Under Its Associated Linear Transformations, Benjamin F. Merembeck, Brian J. Turner Jan 1979

Directed Canonical Analysis And The Performance Of Classifiers Under Its Associated Linear Transformations, Benjamin F. Merembeck, Brian J. Turner

LARS Symposia

Directed canonical analysis is presented as an extension of the general form of canonical analysis, which is a method for reducing the dimensionality of multivariate data sets with minimum loss of discriminatory variance. The reduction takes the form of a linear transformation, y = Cz, that condenses the discriminatory variance onto a relatively few, high-variance, orthogonal discriminant axes.

Canonical analysis is developed as an analog to the one-way MANOVA. The directed extension allows user-specified contrasts to define linear relationships that are known or suspected to exist within the data. The linear transformation, C, is defined by means of the symmetric …


Computer Recognition Of Citrus Infestations, D. H. Williams, J. K. Aggarwal Jan 1979

Computer Recognition Of Citrus Infestations, D. H. Williams, J. K. Aggarwal

LARS Symposia

A computer software system is described that uses digitized color information from aerial color infrared transparencies to detect the a presence of citrus mealybug (Pseudococcus citri Risso), brown soft scale (Coccus hesperidum L.), and Rio Grande gummosis in individual citrus trees. The color coordinates at each spatial point, and color differences at adjacent points are used to locate the trees and to detect the infestations; and compensation is made for the variation in color characteristics between different transparencies. The system requires the input of four parameters: a flag denoting the presence of heavy shadows in the image, nominal tree size …


A Digital Processor For The Production Of Seasat Synthetic Aperture Radar Imagery, John R. Bennett, Ian G. Cumming Jan 1979

A Digital Processor For The Production Of Seasat Synthetic Aperture Radar Imagery, John R. Bennett, Ian G. Cumming

LARS Symposia

With the launch of Seasat-A in June, 1978, the first spaceborne Synthetic Aperture Radar data was made available to the remote sensing community. While the mission only lasted 3+ months, a large volume of SAR data was recorded during this period, and recent image production is beginning to show the remarkable clarity of the data.

Synthetic Aperture Radar processing requires that many hundreds of operations be done per output pixel, and this high computation load has been handled in the past by optical computing techniques. While optical techniques have been very successful, they possess several limitations that digital processing can …


Landsat Mss Data As An Aid To Soil Survey - An Operational Concept, R. A. Weismiller, S. K. Kast, M. F. Baumgardner, Frank R. Kirschner Jan 1979

Landsat Mss Data As An Aid To Soil Survey - An Operational Concept, R. A. Weismiller, S. K. Kast, M. F. Baumgardner, Frank R. Kirschner

LARS Symposia

With the urgency throughout the country to complete the modern soil survey at the earliest possible date, new techniques and tools are being devised to carry out the soils mapping program. One such new mapping tool is a series of maps, derived from Landsat data, showing the spectral characteristics of soils. Whereas Jennings County, Indiana was the first county in the nation to be mapped using aerial photographs as base maps, Jasper County, Indiana is the first county to be mapped using spectral maps as an aid in. the county soil survey program.

These spectral maps depict the pattern and …


Occult - A Medium For Technology Transfer, H. K. Ramapriyan, K. P. Young Jan 1979

Occult - A Medium For Technology Transfer, H. K. Ramapriyan, K. P. Young

LARS Symposia

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has been transferring remote sensing technology to state and local government agencies through the Regional Applications Program since 1977. Typical participants in the program are new to both remote sensing and computer-aided analysis. Therefore, it is essential to introduce them to technology as simply as possible. Two approaches to this are: (i) special purpose minicomputer based (turn key) systems, and (ii) remotely accessed software on general purpose computers. The latter approach facilitates entry into the field with significantly lower costs.

Most of the available software packages for analyzing remotely sensed data require familiarity …


Training Samples For Classification Of Multispectral Earth Observation Data, Marwan J. Muasher, David A. Landgrebe Jan 1979

Training Samples For Classification Of Multispectral Earth Observation Data, Marwan J. Muasher, David A. Landgrebe

LARS Symposia

An important step in the use of pattern recognition methods is the training of the classifier. This work attempts to investigate the effects of some of the parameters contributing towards a correct classification.

Specifically, the effects of the number of training samples, the amount of detail in gray scale, and the degree of separability among classes are investigated. Empirical studies are performed, and results reported showing the interaction among these three parameters. Statistical analysis is performed on the results to determine their significance.

The results suggest that the independence of samples may be of importance in determining the number of …


Image Representation Of Digital Remote Sensing Data: A Perspective, David M. Freeman Jan 1979

Image Representation Of Digital Remote Sensing Data: A Perspective, David M. Freeman

LARS Symposia

Remote sensing data is the main component for determining answers to numerous fundamental questions regarding the earth's environment and resources. Throughout the history of man, he has answered many of these questions with his own human remote sensors. Primary to these sensors are the images obtained by his eyes and interpreted by his brain. Universally, humans guide much of their activity based on images obtained by their eyes. Today, satellites with multispectral scanners take synoptic views of the earth's surface. While computers aid modern interpretation of these reconstructed digital images, humans still obtain much meaningful interpretation by visual inspection combined …
