Methods and applications in surface depression analysis Methods and applications in surface depression analysis
Gridded surface data sets are often incorporated into digital data bases, but extracting information from the data sets requires specialized raster processing techniques different from those historically used on remotely sensed and thematic data. Frequently, the information desired of a gridded surface is directly related to the topologic peaks and pits of the surface. A method for...

An algorithm for locating candidate labelling boxes within a polygon An algorithm for locating candidate labelling boxes within a polygon
Vector-based geographic information systems usually require annotation, such as a polygon number or attribute data, in a suitable location within a polygon. Traditional methods usually compute the polygon centroid, test the centroid for inclusion or exclusion, and select some alternative point when the centroid falls outside the polygon. Two problems are associated with this approach: (1...

Yukon Flats National Wildlife Refuge land cover mapping project user's guide Yukon Flats National Wildlife Refuge land cover mapping project user's guide
Title III of the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act (ANILCA, 1980) established the Yukon Flats National Wildlife Refuge (YFNWR). Section 304 of the Act requires the Secretary of Interior to "prepare, and from time to time revise, a comprehensive conservation plan" for the refuge. Before developing a plan for the refuge, the Secretary shall "identify and describe--a) the...

Status of worldwide Landsat archive Status of worldwide Landsat archive
In cooperation with the International Landsat community, and through the Landsat Technical Working Group (LTWG), NOAA is assembling information about the status of the Worldwide Landsat Archive. During LTWG 9, member nations agreed to participate in a survey of International Landsat data holding and of their archive experiences with Landsat data. The goal of the effort was two-fold; one...

A joint NOAA/USGS study to evaluate satellite assessment of land surface features and climatic variables A joint NOAA/USGS study to evaluate satellite assessment of land surface features and climatic variables
Data collection and preliminary analyses have begun for a study that will evaluate the usefulness of satellite data for assessment of land surface features and climatic variables. The objective of the study is to determine what relationships exist between routinely available ground-based climatic and land surface information and satellite-obtained land surface information. The overall...

Producing Alaska interim land cover maps from Landsat digital and ancillary data Producing Alaska interim land cover maps from Landsat digital and ancillary data
In 1985, the U.S. Geological Survey initiated a research program to produce 1:250,000-scale land cover maps of Alaska using digital Landsat multispectral scanner data and ancillary data and to evaluate the potential of establishing a statewide land cover mapping program using this approach. The geometrically corrected and resampled Landsat pixel data are registered to a Universal...

Digital processing techniques and film density calibration for printing image data Digital processing techniques and film density calibration for printing image data
Satellite image data that cover a wide range of environments are being used to make prints that represent a map type product. If a wide distribution of these products is desired, they are printed using lithographic rather than photographic procedures to reduce the cost per print. Problems are encountered in the photo lab if the film products to be used for lithographic printing have the...

Overview of the land analysis system (LAS) Overview of the land analysis system (LAS)
The Land Analysis System (LAS) is a fully integrated digital analysis system designed to support remote sensing, image processing, and geographic information systems research. LAS is being developed through a cooperative effort between the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Goddard Space Flight Center and the U. S. Geological Survey Earth Resources Observation Systems (EROS)...
