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...

Characteristics of the Landsat Multispectral Data System Characteristics of the Landsat Multispectral Data System
Landsat satellites were launched into orbit in 1972 and 1975. Additional Landsat satellites are planned for launch in 1978 and 1981. The satellites orbit the Earth at an altitude of approximately 900 km and each can obtain repetitive coverage of cloud-free areas every 18 days. A sun-synchronous orbit is used to insure repeatable illumination conditions. Repetitive satellite coverage...

The metallogenic role of east-west fracture zones in South America with regard to the motion of lithospheric plates (with an example from Brazil) The metallogenic role of east-west fracture zones in South America with regard to the motion of lithospheric plates (with an example from Brazil)
The role of east-west fracture zones in South America is discussed with regard to global fracturing and the motion of lithospheric plates. A set of major NW-trending lineaments has been derived which show a tendency to be spaced equidistantly and may correspond to a set of east-west fractures in the "pre-drift" position of the South American plate. Statistical analysis of linears in the...

Hydrological applications of Landsat imagery used in the study of the 1973 Indus River flood, Pakistan Hydrological applications of Landsat imagery used in the study of the 1973 Indus River flood, Pakistan
During August and September 1973, the Indus River Valley of Pakistan experienced one of the largest floods on record, resulting in damages to homes, businesses, public works, and crops amounting to millions of rupees. Tremendous areas of lowlands were inundated along the Indus River and major tributaries. Landsat data made it possible to easily measure the extent of flooding, totaling...
