Geoscientists for international development Geoscientists for international development

Professional societies are usually concerned with the advancement of scientific knowledge, but a relative newcomer to the international scene has a different focus - geoscience development in the Third World. David Hastings, a member of AGID, explains.

Selected reading in agricultural applications of small-format aerial photography Selected reading in agricultural applications of small-format aerial photography

This collection of material has been assembled in response to a growing.interest in the use of low-cost, small-format aerial photography in the management of agricultural resources. Together, these articles serve to document the prevailing level of interest in the subject and provide an insight as to what can reasonably be expected from the use of this powerful agricultural management...

Landsat wildland mapping accuracy Landsat wildland mapping accuracy

A Landsat-aided classification of ten wildland resource classes was developed for the Shivwits Plateau region of the Lake Mead National Recreation Area. Single stage cluster sampling (without replacement) was used to verify the accuracy of each class.

Survey of resampling techniques using MSS and synthetic imagery Survey of resampling techniques using MSS and synthetic imagery

The objective of this survey is to investigate the methods of interpolation and deconvolution for image restoration The methods evaluated are nearest neighbor, bilinear interpolation, cubic convolution, and two-dimensional deconvolution. The effects of these restoration methods are demonstrated using Landsat multispectral scanner (MSS) data and synthetic imagery. The effect of these...

Landsat detection of oil from natural seeps Landsat detection of oil from natural seeps

Oil on the ocean surface from the natural seeps in the Santa Barbara Channel, California, could not be detected on frames of any of the four bands of standard Landsat positive or negative film transparencies, nor could the slicks be detected using digital scaling, density slicing, or ratioing techniques. Digital contrast-stretch enhancement, however, showed the distribution of oil on the...

Plant stress detection by remote measurement of fluorescence Plant stress detection by remote measurement of fluorescence

Chlorophyll fluorescence of mature lemon trees was measured with a Fraunhofer line discriminator (FLD). An increase in fluorescence was correlated with plant water stress as measured by stomatal resistance and twig water potential.
