Low-cost computer classification of land cover in the Portland area, Oregon, by signature extension techniques Low-cost computer classification of land cover in the Portland area, Oregon, by signature extension techniques
Computer-aided techniques for interpreting multispectral data acquired by Landsat offer economies in the mapping of land cover. Even so, the actual establishment of the statistical classes, or "signatures," is one of the relatively more costly operations involved. Analysts have, therefore, been seeking cost-saving signature extension techniques that would accept training data acquired at...

A perspective on remote sensing for wildlife management A perspective on remote sensing for wildlife management
The Pecora IV Symposium (Applications of Remote Sensing Data to Wildlife Management) conducted October 10-12, 1978, in Sioux Falls, S.D.; provided a perspective on the uses of remote sensing techniques for wildlife management. The task of summarizing the Symposium, which is the objective of this paper, is not simple because of the diversity of opinions presented regarding (a) the...

Quantitative wildlife habitat evaluation using high-altitude color infrared aerial photographs Quantitative wildlife habitat evaluation using high-altitude color infrared aerial photographs
The habitat value for elk and sage grouse of two proposed phosphate strip mine sites was determined using habitat parameter measurements from high-altitude color infrared aerial photographs. Habitat suitability was assessed using the Habitat Evaluation Procedures being developed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Similar results were obtained from two approaches--a remote-sensing...

Potential applications of satellite imagery in some types of natural resource inventories Potential applications of satellite imagery in some types of natural resource inventories
Landsat satellite imagery has been routinely available to researchers and resource scientists since 1972. Many studies have demonstrated the application of Landsat imagery for conducting inventories and mapping various natural resources. Examples of applications presented in this paper include: timber volume inventory, range productivity inventory, wildland vegetation mapping, inventory...

Metropolitan land cover inventory using multiseasonal Landsat data Metropolitan land cover inventory using multiseasonal Landsat data
As a part of the Pacific Northwest Land Resources Inventory Demonstration Project (PNLRIDP), planners from State, regional, and local agencies in Oregon are working with scientists from the EROS Data Center (USGS), Ames Research Center (NASA), and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (California Institute of Technology) to obtain practical training and experience in the analysis of remotely...

EROS Data Center Landsat digital enhancement techniques and imagery availability EROS Data Center Landsat digital enhancement techniques and imagery availability
The US Geological Survey's EROS Data Center (EDC) is experimenting with the production of digitally enhanced Landsat imagery. Advanced digital image processing techniques are used to perform geometric and radiometric corrections and to perform contrast and edge enhancements. The enhanced image product is produced from digitally preprocessed Landsat computer compatible tapes (CCTs) on a...
