Lectures Labs Lectures Labs Reading Reading Class structure Model 2(ESS 421) Model 1
Lab Exercises° one lab per week, handed out Tuesdays° due the following Tuesday (or as noted in outline) in class ° lab files (e.g., “Lab_1.doc”) are available from the website° print only the “Answers” file of the lab (e.g., “Lab_1-answers.doc”) & turn in only this sheet to TA with your answers late work will be docked 10% per day ° at the beginning of the lab on Tuesdays there will be a short one-page gradedquiz on the lab just turned in, plus reading for the past week. Bring a sheet of paper for the answers and turn in to the TA. ° the labs just handed in will be reviewed after the quiz
Reading Assignments°Text isLillesand, Kiefer, and Chipman “Remote Sensing and Image Interpretation” 6th ed. 2007, John Wiley ° Reading assignments in the text are augmented with other material available on class website
Examinations & Grading°Midterm and Final will both contain questions from the lectures, reading, and labs ° Midterm covers 1st half of class °Final covers whole classwith emphasis on 2nd half Labs - 30%Lab quizzes - 20%Midterm - 20%Final - 30% Failure to turn in all work in each of the 4 categories above will result in an incomplete
Tuesday, 5 January 2010 Lecture 1: Introduction Reading assignment: Lillesand, Kiefer & Chipman: Ch 1.1, 1.2, 1.6, 1.7, 1.10, 1.11 Ch 2.9 – Multiband imaging App. A – Concepts & terminology (p. 727-731) App. B – Data and resources (p. 732-735) 1
What is remote sensing? Measurement from a distance - Hazardous locales - “Denied terrain” Nodong, N. Korea 2
What is an image? X (longitude) Y (latitude) 3
Images in combination with maps add to interpretive power Geographic Information System (GIS) 4
Images can be made at different wavelengths of light l=11.405 mm l=10.755 mm l=10.275 mm l=9.205 mm l=8.735 mm l l=0.870 mm l=0.804 mm l=0.658 mm l=0.542 mm l=0.462 mm Y Image visualizations display only a subset of the data X NASA MASTER airborne 50-band multispectral image 5
and displayed as color pictures l=11.405 mm l=10.755 mm l=10.275 mm l=9.205 mm l=8.735 mm l l=0.870 mm l=0.804 mm l=0.658 mm l=0.542 mm l=0.462 mm Y R=0.658mm G=0.542mm B=0.462mm X NASA MASTER airborne 50-band multispectral image NASA MASTER airborne 50-band multispectral image 6
Only 3 bands at a time can be visualized this way… but there is more information, and can be shown in a spectrum Spectrum l=11.405 mm l=10.755 mm l=10.275 mm l=9.205 mm l=8.735 mm l l=0.870 mm l=0.804 mm l=0.658 mm l=0.542 mm l=0.462 mm Y R=0.658mm G=0.542mm B=0.462mm X 7
Spectra are different and convey information about composition Note the scale change! R=0.658mm G=0.542mm B=0.462mm 8

Images are not limited to light reflected or emitted from a surface. They can be made over time, or of derived or calculated parameters. Increasing concentration of CO Carbon monoxide at 500 mB, from NASA’s Terra/Moppitt 12
