midterm exam Flashcards
may help in capturing fine detail, but
at a cost
Fine spatial resolution
Refers to the specific wavelength intervals in the
electromagnetic spectrum that a sensor can record
SPECTRAL RESOLUTION
High spatial resolution
0.6 -4 m
the revisiting frequency of
a satellite sensor for a specific location
temporal resolution
2-3 days depending on Latitude(revisit time)
SPOT-5
are collected by the image
sensors (e.g. CCD, CMOS) and
accumulates charge proportional to
intensity of radiation
Photons
1-3.5 days depending on Latitude(revisit time)
QuickBird
12-bit (4096 levels
Landsat 8
spectral resolution
High :?
Medium :?
Low :?
220
3 -15 bands
3 bands
increasing data’s
intelligibility as a representation of the object being
sensed
Display and Enhancement
is a representation of a two-dimensional
array of so-called picture elements or pixels. It contains a
fixed number of rows and columns of pixels.
Digital Image
extracting
meaningful patterns from the data
Classification and Information Extraction
ability of imaging system to
record fine detail in a distinguishable manner
Resolution
High temporal resolution:?
Medium temporal resolution:?
Low temporal resolution:?
< 24 hours -3 days
4 -16 days
> 16 days
Low spatial resolution
30 -> 1000 m
It refers to the size of the smallest object that can be
resolved on the ground
