New horizons in remote sensing for forest and range resource management New horizons in remote sensing for forest and range resource management
Forest and range resource scientists were among the first to recognize the potential of aircraft and satellite remote sensing for management of timber, forage, water, and wildlife resource. Today, data from a variety of sensor systems are being put to practical use for inventorying, monitoring, and assessing forest and range resources. In the future, improved sensor systems providing new...

Detection of leaks in buried rural water pipelines using thermal infrared images Detection of leaks in buried rural water pipelines using thermal infrared images
Leakage is a major problem in many pipelines. Minor leaks called 'seeper leaks', which generally range from 2 to 10 m3 per day, are common and are difficult to detect using conventional ground surveys. The objective of this research was to determine whether airborne thermal-infrared remote sensing could be used in detecting leaks and monitoring rural water pipelines. This study indicates...

Total chemical management in photographic processing Total chemical management in photographic processing
The mission of the U. S. Geological Survey's Earth Resources Observation Systems (EROS) Data Center is to produce high-quality photographs of the earth taken from aircraft and Landsat satellite. In order to meet the criteria of producing research-quality photographs, while at the same time meeting strict environmental restrictions, a total photographic chemical management system was...

Landsat multispectral scanner and Landsat thematic mapper images and interpretations of Hannapah and the Royston Hills, Nevada Landsat multispectral scanner and Landsat thematic mapper images and interpretations of Hannapah and the Royston Hills, Nevada
This Open-File Report consists of twenty-one 35-mm slides showing material that was presented at the Fourth Thematic Conference on Remote Sensing of the Environment held in San Francisco, California on April 1-4, 1985 (Purdy and others, 1985). The work was carried out in conjunction with the U.S. Geological Survey's Conterminous U.S. Mineral Appraisal Program for the Tonopah, Nevada 1°...

Selected annotated bibliographies for image mapping : geometric registration, resampling, contrast enhancement, spatial filtering, and color calibration Selected annotated bibliographies for image mapping : geometric registration, resampling, contrast enhancement, spatial filtering, and color calibration
Many articles have been published in the image processing areas associated with image mapping, but no document has combined these references in a single publication. Image mapping is a new and dynamic field and a baseline document reviewing past research in the image processing areas associated with it needs to be provided. A collection of annotated bibliographies provides a source for...

Geodetic accuracy of Landsat-4 Multispectral Scanner and Thematic Mapper data Geodetic accuracy of Landsat-4 Multispectral Scanner and Thematic Mapper data
EROS Data Center is evaluating the geodetic accuracy of Landsat-4 data from both the Multispectral Scanner (MSS) and Thematic Mapper (TM) processing systems. Geodetic accuracy is a measure of the precision of Landsat data registration to the Earth's figure. This paper describes a geodetic accuracy assessment of several MSS and TM scenes, based on the geodetic referencing information...
