The Conterminous United States Mineral Assessment Program; background information to accompany folio of geologic, geochemical, remote sensing, and mineral resources maps of the Butte 1 degree x 2 degrees Quadrangle, Montana The Conterminous United States Mineral Assessment Program; background information to accompany folio of geologic, geochemical, remote sensing, and mineral resources maps of the Butte 1 degree x 2 degrees Quadrangle, Montana
The Butte 1?x2 ? quadrangle in west-central Montana was investigated as part of the U.S. Geological Survey's Conterminous United States Mineral Assessment Program (CUSMAP). These investigations included geologic mapping, geochemical surveys, gravity and aeromagnetic surveys, examinations of mineral deposits, and specialized geochronologic and remote-sensing studies. The data collected...

Destriping of Landsat MSS images by filtering techniques Destriping of Landsat MSS images by filtering techniques
The removal of striping noise encountered in the Landsat Multispectral Scanner (MSS) images can be generally done by using frequency filtering techniques. Frequency domain filtering has, however, several problems, such as storage limitation of data required for fast Fourier transforms, ringing artifacts appearing at high-intensity discontinuities, and edge effects between adjacent...

Evaluation of terrain models for the geocoding and terrain correction, of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images Evaluation of terrain models for the geocoding and terrain correction, of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images
The variability of the resolutions and the presence of artifacts cause inaccurate correction of the terrain-induced geometric distortions in synthetic-aperture radar (SAR) images. To quantify the effects of these inaccuracies on SAR terrain correction, corrections of a Seasat SAR image were performed using a 1 degrees US Geological Survey (USGS) terrain model, a 7.5-min USGS terrain...

Cooperative studies between the United States of America and the People's Republic of China on applications of remote sensing to surveying and mapping Cooperative studies between the United States of America and the People's Republic of China on applications of remote sensing to surveying and mapping
A Protocol established between the National Bureau of Surveying and Mapping, People's Republic of China (PRC) and the U.S. Geological Survey, United States of America (US), resulted in the exchange of scientific personnel, technical training, and exploration of the processing of remotely sensed data. These activities were directed toward the application of remotely sensed data to...
Monitoring rangeland dynamics in Senegal with advanced very high resolution radiometer data Monitoring rangeland dynamics in Senegal with advanced very high resolution radiometer data
Time‐series Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) data, computed from Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer data, are being used by regional and national programs in the African Sahel to monitor seasonal rangeland conditions. The data are often used as indicators of grazing conditions and drought. However, distinguishing rangelands from other vegetation cover types on NDVI...

Landsat thematic mapper products for rangeland assessment Landsat thematic mapper products for rangeland assessment
Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) data are useful for mapping rangeland resources worldwide. Spatial resolution and spectral characteristics of the data are adequate for performing a variety of range‐related tasks, including monitoring ecological change. The unique spectral characteristics of TM data are important in the development of products for manual interpretation of images to be used...

The 1990 conterminous U. S. AVHRR data set The 1990 conterminous U. S. AVHRR data set
The U.S. Geological Survey, using NOAA-ll Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) 1-km data, has produced a time series of 19 biweekly maximum normalized difference vegetation index (NDV!) composites of the conterminous United States for the 1990 growing season. Each biweekly composite included data from approximately 20 calibrated and georegistered daily overpasses. The output...

Mineral resource assessment of the Dillon 1° x 2° quadrangle, Idaho and Montana Mineral resource assessment of the Dillon 1° x 2° quadrangle, Idaho and Montana
The Dillon 1°x2° quadrangle in southwestern Montana and east-central Idaho was investigated as part of the U.S. Geological Survey's Conterminous United States Mineral Assessment Program (CUSMAP) to determine its mineral resource potential. An interdisciplinary study was made of geology, geochemistry, geophysics (gravity and aeromagnetics), remote sensing, and mineral deposits. The...

Data integration through region-based nominal filtering Data integration through region-based nominal filtering
Resource models integrating disparate nominal or class grid-cell data can be implemented by using spatial filters. Most modelling procedures do not adequately handle noise created during the process of merging and integrating multiple grid-cell data sets. Data integration can be best accomplished in an environment where ready access to statistical and database management systems support...
