Module 2 Photo Interpretation and Remote Sensing: Land Use and Land Classification


Hey Friends! 


For module 2, I learned how to use land use/land cover on an aerial photo in Pascagoula, Mississippi. The map below shows land use/land cover based on the code and color. The legend shows a description of each land use/land cover code. Along with the classification, I had to practice ground truthing and accuracy assessment. The red and green dots demonstrates the accuracy of my land use/land cover.  Overall, I think I did good. 

Thanks,

PI&RS Module 3: Intro to ERDAS Imagine and Digital Data

Image
 Hello friends,  For Module 3 in Photo Interpretation and Remote Sensing, I learned how to use ERDAS Imagine for the first time using digital data.  I learned about and how to use the Viewer to view data in ERDAS Imagine and subset data in ERDAS Imagine as a preprocessing step for making a map in ArcGIS.  This maps shows a small subset of an image that was exported from ERDAS Imagine to ArcGIS. ERDAS Imagine has its own unique map-making system but I transferred the data to ArcGIS due to the cause of program crash.  Thank you,  Desirie Luayon

PI&RS Module 4: Spatial & Spectral Enhancements and Band Indices

Image
 Hello friends,  In module 4, I learned how to apply spatial enhancements, which is a preprocessing step that gets the imagery ready for use and how to generate band indices and view the characteristics of multispectral imagery. I used ERDAS Image to examine the images and transfered the map to ArcGIS for the layouts.  The map shows false image color imagery. Vegetation appears in shades of red, and densly populated urban areas are shown in cyan blue. This band combination gives results similar to traditional color infrared aerial photography.  This map shows TM false natural color. This band combination provides the user with a great amount of information and color contrast. Healthy vegetation is bright green and soil is mauve. This combination is useful for vegetation studies.    This map shows true color imagery covering snow feature. The dark olive green shows vegetation while the white shows the snow on top of the mountains. This band is similar to wha...
