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)...

Processing and analysis of commercial satellite image data of the nuclear accident near Chernobyl, U.S.S.R. Processing and analysis of commercial satellite image data of the nuclear accident near Chernobyl, U.S.S.R.
Advanced digital processing techniques were applied to Landsat-5 Thematic Mapper (TM) data and SPOT highresolution visible (HRV) panchromatic data to maximize the utility of images of a nuclear powerplant emergency at Chernobyl in the Soviet Ukraine. The images demonstrate the unique interpretive capabilities provided by the numerous spectral bands of the Thematic Mapper and the high...

Using a spatial and tabular database to generate statistics from terrain and spectral data for soil surveys Using a spatial and tabular database to generate statistics from terrain and spectral data for soil surveys
A methodology has been developed to create a spatial database by referencing digital elevation, Landsat multispectral scanner data, and digitized soil premap delineations of a number of adjacent 7.5-min quadrangle areas to a 30-m Universal Transverse Mercator projection. Slope and aspect transformations are calculated from elevation data and grouped according to field office...

Raster and vector processing for scanned linework Raster and vector processing for scanned linework
An investigation of raster editing techniques, including thinning, filling, and node detecting, was performed by using specialized software. The techniques were based on encoding the state of the 3-by-3 neighborhood surrounding each pixel into a single byte. A prototypical method for converting the edited raster linkwork into vectors was also developed. Once vector representations of the...

Evaluation of the improvement in sensitivity of nested frequency plots to vegetational change by summation Evaluation of the improvement in sensitivity of nested frequency plots to vegetational change by summation
At four sites in Idaho, frequency was measured separately with three different-sized plots (10 x 25, 15 x 33.5, and 20 x 50 cm) arranged in a nested configuration. These individual frequency values were added together to create a summed “frequency.” This summed value was compared to the original frequency values generated by each individual plot size in respect to its ability to detect...
