  1. Remote Sensing CRSC 6 – Intro to Precision Ag Fall 2004 October 1, 2004 CRSC 6 October 1, 2004

  2. What is Remote Sensing? • “The acquisition of information about an object without being in physical contact with it." (Charles Elachi) • Value is the Ability to • Acquire a lot of information • In a very short time • With minimal labor input CRSC 6 October 1, 2004

  3. Platforms • Done with many different platforms • Satellites • Aircraft • Mobile Platform CRSC 6 October 1, 2004

  4. Interaction CRSC 6 October 1, 2004

  5. Electromagnetic Energy • Involves the measurement of electromagnetic energy CRSC 6 October 1, 2004

  6. Electromagnetic Spectrum CRSC 6 October 1, 2004

  7. Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) (NIR - VIS)/(NIR + VIS) Calibrated Vegetation Map Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI) Vegetation Change Map Greenness Index Soil Color Map Indices CRSC 6 October 1, 2004

  8. Indices CRSC 6 October 1, 2004

  9. Measures of Performance • Spatial Resolution • Spectral Response • Spectral Resolution • Frequency of Coverage CRSC 6 October 1, 2004

  10. Spatial Resolution • The size of the smallest object that can be distinguished in an image. CRSC 6 October 1, 2004

  11. Spectral Response • The ability to respond to radiation measurements within a spectral band. CRSC 6 October 1, 2004

  12. Spectral Resolution • The ability to differentiate between electromagnetic radiation of different wavelengths. Landsat TM image (bands 6-4-2) Alto Image (comparable bands CRSC 6 October 1, 2004

  13. Frequency of Coverage • How often a sensing system is available to collect data. CRSC 6 October 1, 2004

  14. Other Considerations • Timeliness of Provider • Cost of Service • Projection and Coordinate System Used • Ground Truthing CRSC 6 October 1, 2004
