Q

Why use remote sensing?9

A
  1. a regional view (in general), even a local view now a
    days.
  2. repetitive looks at the same area
  3. “see” over a broader portion of the spectrum than the human eye
  4. Remote sensors often record signals electronically
    and provide geo-referenced digital data
  5. Sensors can use a very specific bandwidth for imaging
  6. They can also use a number of bandwidths
    simultaneously
  7. Some remote sensors operate in all seasons, at night,
    and in bad weather
  8. Images are permanent record (fixed in time)
  9. Often more accurate source of historical information

Q

4 basic rules of wave theory

Ex:Assume the speed of light to be 3x10(8) m/s. If the
frequency of an electromagnetic wave is 500,000 GHz
(GHz = gigahertz = 109 m/s), what is the wavelength of
that radiation?
-give answer in micrometers,nanometers, and centimeters

A

1.. Electromagnetic radiation consists of
a. an electrical field (E), which
varies in magnitude in a direction
perpendicular to the direction in
which the radiation is traveling,
and
b. a magnetic field (M) oriented at
right angles to the electrical field.
Both these fields travel at the
speed of light (c).

2.The wavelength is the length of one wave cycle,
which can be measured as the distance between
successive wave crests
-A wavelength is usually represented
by the Greek letter lambda (λ).
Wavelength is measured in metres
(m) or some factor of metres such as
nanometres (nm, 10-9 metres),
micrometres (μm, 10-6 metres) or
centimetres (cm, 10-2 metres).
  1. Frequency refers to the number of cycles of a wave passing a fixed point per unit of time.
    -Frequency is normally measured
    in hertz (Hz), equivalent to one
    cycle per second, and various
    multiples of hertz.
4. Wavelength and frequency are
related by the following formula:
λν=c 
where λ is the wavelength,
ν is the frequency and 
c is the speed of light. 

Ex:Assume the speed of light to be 3x10(8) m/s. If the
frequency of an electromagnetic wave is 500,000 GHz
(GHz = gigahertz = 109 m/s), what is the wavelength of
that radiation?

(3x108 m/s)/(500,000,000,000,000)
=6x10(7) meters
=6x10(13) micrometers

Q

Role of atmos in remote sensing: 4

A

 The sunlight’s transmission through the atmosphere is affected by absorption and scattering of atmospheric
molecules and aerosols.
 Similarly, the reflected and emitted energy that is
received by a satellite sensor are also modified by the
atmospheric molecules and aerosols.

Q

3 types of Scattering of EM by the Atmospheric elements

A
  1. Rayleigh scattering: occurs when the particles (gas
    molecule) causing the scattering are significantly smaller than the wavelengths being affected.
    • Blue Sky & Red Evening light
  2. Mie scattering: the particles (dust or smoke) causing the scattering are roughly the same diameter as the
    wavelengths they’re scattering.
  3. Nonselective scattering: what’s (water droplets)
    causing the scattering is larger than the wavelengths
    being scattered.
    • all wavelengths equally; explains why we see clouds as white if it is not much thick

Image Classification Digital Classification
Image classification is the process of categorization of all image pixels into land cover classes to produce a thematic representation of the image. Digital classification is a the process of recognising patterns in the image pixel values in one or multiple bands and assign them to one of the land cover classes. Patterns in an Image:  Spectral Pattern ( pixel values in different bands - 110, 49, 70……..)  Spatial pattern (contextual information)  Temporal information (e.g. agriculture) Classification can be done on single or multiple bands of image as well as adding other raster GIS layers, various methods
32
Training Pixels/Samples
- are typical representative pixels’ values from each class of interest to be supplied to the computer or classifier to be used for the classification.  Analyst identifies the groups of pixels with similar spectral pattern  Each of the patterns represents a category of land cover class  The statistical properties of the patterns are used for categorizing all pixels of the image set
33
Describe 4 resolution types
1.Spectral resolution: Panchromatic-brightness Multispectral-multiple wavelengths Hyperspectral-loads of different wavelengths 2.Spatial resolution: pixel size->pixel output smaller pixels mean more clear view 3. Radiometric resolution:“how many different intensity levels can be discriminated by the remote sensor within a specific band  Number of digital levels that a sensor can use to express variability of brightness within the data. It determines the information content.  The more digital levels, the more detail can be expressed  Most remote sensing imagery recorded with quantized levels in the 0 – 255 (8-bit) range 4. Temporal resolution: Refers to the frequency of data acquisition over an area. • Important : – infrequent observational opportunities (e.g., when clouds often obscure the surface) – short-lived phenomenon (floods, oil spills, etc.) – rapid-response (fires, hurricanes) – detecting changing properties of a feature to distinguish it from otherwise similar feature
34
More bits means more ____
clarity
35
Swath
the Image extent: .Refers to the “Swath” with of image acquisition by a satellite image -length and width of what the sattelite actually captures Number of images to cover study area  Generally, higher spatial resolution = smaller area coverage per frame = more scenes

42
Hill-shading
```  Also known as shaded relief  It’s a simulation of terrain showing the intersection between sunlight and surface features  Four factors control the visual effect of hill shading: 1. The sun’s azimuth – direction of incoming light (0 to 3600) 2. The sun’s altitude – elevation of sun above horizon (0 to 900) 3. Surface slope – 0 to 900 4. Aspect – 0 to 3600 .Computer derives surface slope and aspect from DEM ```
43
viewshed
 A viewshed refers to the portion of the land surface that is visible from one or more viewpoints.  The process for deriving viewsheds is called viewshed or visibility analysis  Requires two sets of data -A point or line layer containing one or more view points (vertices and nodes in case of line) -A DEM (elevation raster) or TIN layer  The basis of the analysis is the line-of-sight operation -line-of-sight connects the viewpoint and the target - if any land surface or object on the land raises above the line then the target is invisible - Otherwise the target is visible  Example of the types of questions can be answered -Which areas can be seen from a fire lookout tower that is 15 meters high? -How frequently can a proposed disposal site be seen from an existing highway, while driving through the highway? -Where the next communications repeater tower in a series should be located?

Geovisualization
Geo-visualisation can be defined as an integrated approach of digital cartographic and scientific computer graphics tools, techniques and methodology for visualizing geo-environmental data for understanding, interpretation and assessment of environmental phenomenon. • However it is all based on the digital principles of Geographical Information Systems.
64
Magnetic North Pole
• For navigation, most common method of finding direction is relative to the magnetic North Pole • The Earth magnetic field is largely a dipole field but it has higher order variations as well. Notice that the direction of the dipole axis does not align with the rotation axis A compass needle tries to align with the field lines
65
Canadian Magenetic Observatories
Canadian Magnetic Observatories “Magnetic observatories are permanent measuring stations that monitor the geomagnetic field to very high accuracy over time scales ranging from seconds to decades and beyond”. - nrcan
66
Magnetic Declination
``` A compass lines up with the horizontal component of the magnetic field in a direction called magnetic north. True north, on the other hand is the direction from a given location to the north geographic pole. The angle between magnetic north and true north is called magnetic declination. ``` ``` • Declination in 1999: 13° 41′ W -Annual change: Increase 2.4′ -Since the annual change is increasing, treat it as positive. -Therefore Declination in 2015 is: = 13° 41' W + (16 x 2.4′) = 13° 41' W + 38.4' = 14° 19.4' W ```
67
Isogenic Chart
``` An Isogonic Chart is a graph that depicts the isogonic lines on the earth. Isogonic lines are lines that depict the earth's magnetic declination and along these lines, the earth's magnetic declination remains constant. ```
68
compass
Since a compass wants to align with the field lines it will point either up or down (relative to gravity) when it is away from the magnetic equator. .To compensate for the tendency to point up or down, good compasses have weights to make the needle lay flat .Normally, a compass designed for using in the Northern Magnetic hemisphere can not be used in the Southern hemisphere unless the weighting mass can be moved to opposite side of the needle.

(if this angle is negative, the sun is in the northern sky; | positive-sun is in the southern sky)
74
Qiyas
To obtain their latitude, ancient Arabs navigators measured directly the altitude of the Pole Star using a simplest method, and was known as the science of qiyas, use of a finger width.  When held at arm's length, the width of four fingers was considered to measure 4 isba'.  In a 360 degree circle there were 224 isba'.  It was considered that a day's sailing due north would raise the Pole Star 1 isba' from the horizon.  For those traveling on land, the isba' was further divided into 8 zam. Thus land distances were often measured in zams.
75
Kamal
A more accurate, but still simple instrument was known as a kamal.  This was a small parallelogram of horn or wood measuring about one by two inches with a string inserted in the center, which had nine knots at measured intervals.  The end of the string was held in the teeth. The lower edge of the horn was placed on the horizon while the horn was moved along the string until the upper edge touched the required star.  Vasco da Gama's pilot used a kamal from Malindi to India
76
Mariners Brass Quadrant
``` A quarter of a circle made of wood or brass--came into widespread use for navigation around 1450, though its use can be traced back at least to the 1200s. • The scale spans 90 degrees and is divided into whole degrees. • A plumb bob establishes a vertical line of reference. ```
77
Astrolabe
``` • invented in Persia/Greeks • It is a flat metal ring marked off in degrees, with a rotating bar in the center. • It was used to measure the altitude of stars, planets, and the sun. • From these measurements it was possible to establish latitude, time. • Astrolabes were used until the 1500s, when the cross-staff came into use. ```
78
cross staff
``` • The cross staff measured altitude, by looking at the sun and establishing latitude. • Navigators preferred using a cross staff because it was much easier to use on a rolling ship. • Although it was easier to use, it became very unpopular after many navigators became blind from staring at the sun too long. ```
79
Sextant
``` • The cross staff measured altitude, by looking at the sun and establishing latitude. • Navigators preferred using a cross staff because it was much easier to use on a rolling ship. • Although it was easier to use, it became very unpopular after many navigators became blind from staring at the sun too long. ```

• The Defense Department dithered the satellite time message, reducing position accuracy to some GPS users. • S/A was designed to prevent America’s enemies from using GPS against US and their allies. • In May 2000 the Pentagon reduced S/A to zero meters error for civilian uses: • Enhanced 911 service • Car navigation • Adoption of GPS time standard • Recreation • S/A could be reactivated at any time by the Pentagon.
88
biggest factor influencing system | performance in GPS is...
User error Errors are cumulative and increased by Positional Dilution of Precision (PDOP)
89
Positional Dilution of Position(PDOP)
PDOP indicates the accuracy of a 3D GPS position based on the number of satellites and the geometry of satellite positions. PDOP ranges from 0-99. The lower the number, the more accurate the data. Any position with a PDOP over 7 or 8 is probably not worth collecting. More advanced GPS receivers can filter out poor DOP values.
