Progress in remote sensing as it applies to missions of Committee for Coordination of Joint Prospecting for Mineral Resources in Asian Offshore Areas Progress in remote sensing as it applies to missions of Committee for Coordination of Joint Prospecting for Mineral Resources in Asian Offshore Areas

The major thrusts of investigations of the use of space data for understanding our Earth continue to focus on the land and near-shore environments. This is expectable; people live on the land, draw most of their resources from the land or near-shore areas, and in these areas environmental degradation or improvement are most clearly observable. An exception to this focus of investigation...

Integrated terrain mapping with digital Landsat images in Queensland, Australia Integrated terrain mapping with digital Landsat images in Queensland, Australia

Mapping with Landsat images usually is done by selecting single types of features, such as soils, vegetation, or rocks, and creating visually interpreted or digitally classified maps of each feature. Individual maps can then be overlaid on or combined with other maps to characterize the terrain. Integrated terrain mapping combines several terrain features into each map unit which, in...

Satellites monitor Atlanta regional development Satellites monitor Atlanta regional development

Since the adoption of a Regional Development Plan in 1975, the Atlanta Regional Commission has investigated methods for monitoring regional development patterns in a periodic, efficient manner. A promising approach appears to be the use of Landsat satellite data. In cooperation with the Earth Resources Observation Systems (EROS) Data Center, the commission used machine processing of...

Inventory and mapping of flood inundation using interactive digital image analysis techniques Inventory and mapping of flood inundation using interactive digital image analysis techniques

LANDSAT digital data and color infra-red photographs were used in a multiphase sampling scheme to estimate the area of agricultural land affected by a flood. The LANDSAT data were classified with a maximum likelihood algorithm. Stratification of the LANDSAT data, prior to classification, greatly reduced misclassification errors. The classification results were used to prepare a map...
