In the remaining lectures of this course, we discuss these non-photographic systems, common examples and applications in forestry and natural resources, how they work, and how we interpret the data and create and assess the forest and land cover map products developed from them. Non Photographic Remote Sensing basics: Definition of remote sensing (RS) What is a passive and active RS system? Classification (including photographic vs. non-photographic; active vs. passive) Spectral wavelength regions where passive multispectral scanner systems operate Electronic Imaging Systems and Digital Camera Sources of digital images (scanned photos, digital cameras, multispectral scanners, other non-photographic sensors) Define what a digital image is in simple terms? Photo versus non-photo processing characteristics Photograph vs. image (how does electronic versus photo differ in data capture, storage, manipulation, transmission or communication)?
2 Digital imaging Charged coupled detectors (CCDs) Data capture and storage comparisons between a photo and digital image Spectral and spatial characteristics of a pixel from a digital image Pixels (picture elements), cells, rasters What is a digital number (DN) in a digital image pixel? What sensor/platform system components control the instantaneous field of view (IFOV) or pixel area represented (spatial resolution) on the ground? Comparison of digital imaging vs. photographic film (some advantages/disadvantages) 8 bit data (0 255 (256 values) and brightness levels (black to white) Image Classification for Land Cover Mapping Unsupervised Approach: How does it work? What does the clustering algorithm do in an unsupervised classification? Spectral classes vs. information classes. Describe these in terms of the unsupervised and supervised method What images or tools did you use (in Lab 8) to help guide you in assigning forest and land cover type names to the cluster classes? Why might one of your cluster classes actually represent more than one cover type or have confusion in identification of a specific cover type compared to another Supervised Approach: How does it work? How does your training site selection and knowledge influence accuracy of classification results? Theoretically, with experience, this method should produce better results than unsupervised, however the burden is on the analyst. What are various assumptions and possible sources of error related to this method? Which method would you use if you had very little information about the land cover types (lack of good support orthophotos or aerial photos, large, remote area and field visits difficult)? Some Relevant Questions 1. Briefly describe the difference between an unsupervised and supervised land cover classification in terms of how the image analyst (you) interacts in the process. 2. What is a spectral class in an unsupervised classification and in a supervised classification? 3. What is an information class in a supervised or unsupervised classification 4. In an unsupervised classification (lab 8) you set the number of classes to 45, the convergence threshold parameter to 0.995, and the number of iterations to 150. What is the Erdas-Imagine program doing with this information? 5. Name a possible advantage and disadvantage of each classification method (unsupervised and supervised). 6. List 4 procedures you would use to select good training sites for a supervised classification. 7. When you have all of the training sites selected and statistics stored in Erdas-Imaging signature editor file, what is the computer doing with all of the information to create the output classified image.
