3Definition of Remote Sensing
- "Remote sensing is the practice of deriving
information about the earth's land and water
surfaces using images acquired from an overhead
perspective, using electromagnetic radiation in
one or more regions of the electromagnetic
spectrum, reflected or emitted from the earths
surface. (Campbell, 1996)
4From Lillesand Kiefer, 2001
5Electromagnetic Spectrum
- Remote sensing images are taken within specific
spectral regions
6Platforms Used toAcquire Remote Sensing Data
- Aircraft
- Low, medium high altitude
- Higher level of spatial detail
- Satellite
- Polar-orbiting, sun-synchronous
- 800-900 km altitude, 90-100 minutes/orbit
- Geo-synchronous
- 35,900 km altitude, 24 hrs/orbit
- stationary relative to Earth
7Landsat-7 Satellite
- 705-km altitude
- 16-day repeat cycle
- 185 km swath width
- Descending node at 1000 - 15
- min.
- Whisk-broom scanner
- Radiometric resolution 28
- (256 levels)
8From Jensen, 2001

13Available Data for Buckeyes (OhioView Project)
OhioView is represented by ten Ohio universities
and partners, including NASA GRC, the USGS EROS
Data Center, OAI, and the Ohio Library and
Information Network (OhioLINK) The primary
mission for OhioView is to make remote sensing
imagery accessible to Ohioans and to fill the
knowledge gap in education about the use of these
valuable data sets.

16Image Display
False Color Composite
17Image display
Selected bands are remapped (stretched) to fit
the display device. The output image color space
is called a look-up table.

20Standard Deviation Stretch
The standard deviation stretch is used to stretch
the output values using a normal distribution.
The result of this stretch is similar to what is
seen by the human eye.
21Linear Contrast Stretch
The linear contrast stretch is used to stretch
the output values over a selected range using a
linear function. This method linearly
interpolates the pixel range to fit the output
space.
22Linear contrast stretch
23Histogram Equalization Stretch
The histogram equalization is a nonlinear stretch
that redistributes pixel values so that there is
approximately the same number of pixels across
the entire range. This results in a flat
histogram. The contrast is increased at the peaks
of the histogram and lessened at the tails. This
kind of stretch can separate pixels into several
distinct groups.
24Histogram-equalized stretch
25Level Slice Stretch
The level slice stretch is used to stretch the
output values based on a given number of
categories. It is similar to a linear contrast
stretch, but the levels are manually assigned.

27Image classification
- Spectral pattern recognition
- Informational vs. spectral classes
- Supervised classification
- Training areas
- Unsupervised classification
- Clustering algorithm ISODATA

30Unsupervised classification
- Analyst has minimal interaction
- Computer algorithm searches for natural, inherent
groupings in remote sensing images - Analyst determines categories for these spectral
groups by comparing classified image to ground
reference data
