Proceedings of the first annual William Pecora Memorial Symposium, October 1975, Sioux Falls, South Dakota Proceedings of the first annual William Pecora Memorial Symposium, October 1975, Sioux Falls, South Dakota

The U.S. Geological Survey agreed to publish the proceeding of the first annual William T. Pecora Memorial Symposium in its Professional Paper series because the subject material is related to the mission of the Survey. The usual standards for this series have been modified to accommodate the variety of styles used by the participants in this symposium. All color illustrations are placed...

Urban and regional land use change detected by using Landsat data Urban and regional land use change detected by using Landsat data

The Atlanta Regional Commission and the Earth Resources Observation Systems Data Center participated in a demonstration of the use of Landsat digital data to detect land use change in the Atlanta, Ga., area. Temporal overlays combining Landsat band-5 data from October 1972 and 1974 were made by using the General Electric Image 100 system. The 1972 data were divided by the 1974 data, and...

The EROS Data Center The EROS Data Center

The Earth Resources Observation Systems (EROS) Program of the U.S. Department of the Interior, administered by the Geological Survey, was established in 1966 to apply remote-sensing techniques to the inventory, monitoring, and management of natural resources. To meet its primary objective, the EROS Program includes research and training in the interpretation and application of remotely...

A radiometric interpretive legend for Landsat digital thematic maps A radiometric interpretive legend for Landsat digital thematic maps

A legend is suggested for use with computer-generated thematic maps made from Landsat digital data that designates some of the radiometric characteristics of each thematic map unit as well as the described terrain attributes of each map unit. The relationship between spectral band and radiance for each map unit is shown by a two-dimensional polygon with the four Landsat multispectral...

Evaluation of LANDSAT-2 (ERTS) images applied to geologic structures and mineral resources of South America: Type II progress report for period June 30, 1975-June 30, 1976 Evaluation of LANDSAT-2 (ERTS) images applied to geologic structures and mineral resources of South America: Type II progress report for period June 30, 1975-June 30, 1976

The author has identified the following significant results. The Salar of Coposa is located in northern Chile along the frontier with Bolivia. The surface was divided into six general classes of materials. Analysis of LANDSAT image 1243-14001 by use of interactive multispectral computer (Image 100) enabled accurate repetition of these general classes based on reflectance. The Salar of...
