Q

Spectral Reflectance difference between green grass and dry grass

A

*green grass - 45% SR red band
*dry grass - 65% SR red band

What we see is ratio of BGR band. Whatever you see in the Physical world is always a combination of these 3 bands.
*rainy season - higher reflected G band
*summer season - smaller ratio between BGR:GR band than it is in healthu green grass

Q

ma’am showing a land cover map
Q: Where is the remote sensing here?

A

Every small square represents a spectra. In the original RS data each pixel is a curve. From the curve they can identify if that feature is a forest agri or built-up areas pixel based on the spectra. The image had numerous wavelengths which represents the spectral response of the ground.

Q

Appears when the object become black or blue because of Rayleigh Scattering.
Rayleigh Scattering - most of the time you will have higher energy return in the shorter wavelengths and that’s the reason why the bluer side would have higher reflectance resulting to images that one slightly bluer than the other parts.

Q

Radiance: “brightness” or energy received by the sensor

A

Atmospheric Effects on Spectral Response Patterns

30
Q

2 effects of the atmosphere

A
  1. Attenuates (reduces) energy from the sun
  2. Reflects energy from the sun (path radiance
31
Q

Incoming radiation

A

Irradiance

32
Q

Incident vs extraneous radiation.

A

Incident radiation refers to the radiation that is emitted by the target object being observed and reaches the remote sensing instrument.

Extraneous radiation, on the other hand, refers to any radiation that is not emitted by the target object but still reaches the remote sensing instrument. This can include radiation from the atmosphere, surrounding objects, or even the instrument itself.

33
Q

Explain the diagram showing the Atmospheric effects influencing the measurement of reflected solar energy

A

The attenuated sunlight and skylight is reflected from a terrain element having reflectance. The attenuated radiance reflected from the terrain element combines with the path radiance to form the total radiance recorded by the sensor.

34
Q

Effects of Path Radiance

A
  • surface reflectance
  • top of atmosphere (TOA) reflectance
  • Atmospheric correction
35
Q

The relative dominance of sunlight vs skylight in any given image is strongly dependent on_____

A

Weather conditions

36
Q

Values with the seasonal changes in solar elevation angle and the changing distance between the earth and sun

A

Irradiance

37
Q

Sensor positioned close to the earth’s surface, the path radiance will be generally ____

A

small or negligible
(To short for Scattering to occur)

38
Q

Primarily the a function of the surface roughness of the object

A

Geometric Influences on spectral response patterns

39
Q
  • mirror-like
  • <incidence = <reflection
  • wavelength < surface height variations
A

Specular Reflectors

40
Q
  • aka Lambertian
  • uniform reflection in all directions
  • RS is more interested in this
A

Diffuse Reflectors

41
Q

Solar elevation vs azimuth vs viewing angle (spectral response patterns)

A

Solar elevation angle determines the amount of solar radiation received (diurnal), solar azimuth angle determines the direction of the radiation (seasonal or latitudinal), and viewing angle determines the amount and direction of reflected energy measured by the sensor (topographic).

42
Q

What is the effect of differential shading?

A

Differential shading is the uneven distribution of solar radiation on a target object due to variations in the angle and intensity of the Sun’s rays. This can cause variations in the spectral reflectance of different parts of the target object, with areas receiving more direct solar radiation having higher reflectance and areas in shadow having lower reflectance. Differential shading can be problematic in complex topographic regions and can be corrected using algorithms that account for variations in solar elevation and azimuth angles, as well as the topographic characteristics of the target object

43
Q

Mathematical solution on how reflectance varies from all combinations of illumination and viewing angles at a given wavelength

A

Bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF)

44
Q

Localized bright areas where the azimuth and xenith angles of the sensor are the same as those of the sun.

A

Hotspots

45
Q

The existence of Hotspot is due to the fact that ____

A

the sunlit portion of all objects in the area, without any shadowing.
