Project Overview Data Description GIS Tutorials Applications ... Partners Remote Sensing: An Overview Examples of Remotely Sensed Data Sets What is Remote Sensing? Remote sensing is a technique used to collect data about the earth without taking a physical sample of the earth’s surface. A sensor is used to measure the energy reflected from the earth. This information can be displayed as a digital image or as a photograph. Sensors can be mounted on a satellite orbiting the earth, or on a plane or other airborne structure. There are two basic types of sensors: passive and active sensors. Passive sensors record radiation reflected from the earth's surface. The source of this radiation must come from outside the sensor; in most cases, this is solar energy. Because of this energy requirement, passive solar sensors can only capture data during daylight hours. The Thematic Mapper (TM) sensor system on the Landsat satellite is a passive sensor. The land cover and change analysis data provided on this CD-ROM were classified using Landsat TM imagery. For more information about the land cover and change analysis data, click here Example of a Passive Sensor Example of an Active Sensor Active sensors are different from passive sensors. Unlike passive sensors, active sensors require the energy source to come from

Remote Sensing Arenal, Costa Rica Chaco Canyon, NM The Peten, Guatemala ... ESO Home Other Links Archeology links Archeology Journals Archeology FAQ Much of human history can be traced through the impacts of human actions upon the environment. The use of remote sensing technology offers the archeologist the opportunity to detect these impacts which are often invisible to the naked eye. This information can be used to address issues in human settlement, environmental interaction, and climate change. Archeologists want to know how ancient people successfully adapted to their environment and what factors may have led to their collapse or disappearance. Did they overextend the capacity of their landscape, causing destructive environmental effects which led to their demise? Can this information be applied to modern day societies so that the mistakes of the past are not repeated? Remote sensing can be used as a methodological procedure for detecting, inventorying, and prioritizing surface and shallow-depth archeological information in a rapid, accurate, and quantified manner. Man is a tropical creature who has invaded every environment on earth successfully; now we are ready to explore, and eventually colonize, the delicate environments of Space. Understanding how ancient man successfully managed Earth is important for the success of current and future societies. "The stereotype has archaeologists just digging up spearheads and pottery and anthropologists just writing down the words of primitive tribes. But we're examining how people adapted to their environment throughout time, how they experienced environmental shift, why cultures come and go. Soils associated with artifacts are as important as the artifacts themselvesprobably more relevant to us than the actual objects. Now more than ever, archaeological research is interdisciplinary: botany, forestry, soil science, hydrologyall of which contribute to a more complete understanding of the earth, climatic shifts, and how people adapt to large regions. This understanding is critical to future decision making affecting the planet.

Learning About Satellites and Remote Sensing M eteorological satellites (or more broadly, environmental satellites) have been around for 40 years. Imagery from satellites are standard fare for television weathercasts and are familiar to most everyone. But do you understand how they really work and the significance of what your are seeing? S atellite pictures taken in visible light are the easiest to understand on a basic level, as it is what we are familiar with in our everyday experience. Reflection of light from clouds or other objects and surfaces reflects back to our eyes or a camera. The reflection of light makes the object visible. Exceptions would be self-luminous objects, such as the sun or a light bulb, which do not depend on reflected light. B ut visible light is only one type of electromagnetic radiation. The infrared region of the spectrum is where objects and gases of "normal" temperatures usually radiate most strongly. Sensors aboard the satellites provide images in this and other portions of the electromagnetic spectrum, as well. B elow are links to a variety of resources on the Internet to help the user learn the basics of the electromagnetic spectrum, satellite remote sensing, some specific applications and explanations of how some satellites work. No attempt is made here to include the breadth of remote sensing or to provide links to the many Internet sources of satellite imagery. With the ever-changing content of the Internet and World Wide Web, no list will ever be complete!

Z A absolute temperature absorptance -A measure of the ability of a material to absorb EM energy at a specific wavelength. absorption band -Wavelength interval within which electromagnetic radiation is absorbed by the atmosphere or by other substances. absorptivity -Capacity of a material to absorb incident radiant energy. achromatic vision -The perception by the human eye of changes in brightness, often used to describe the perception of monochrome or black and white scenes. active remote sensing -Remote sensing methods that provide their own source of electromagnetic radiation to illuminate the terrain. Radar is one example. acuity -A measure of human ability to perceive spatial variations in a scene. It varies with the spatial frequency, shape, and contrast of the variations, and depends on whether the scene is coloured or monochrome. additive primary colors -Blue, green, and red. Filters of these colors transmit the primary color of the filter and absorb the other two colors. adiabatic cooling -Refers to decrease in temperature with increasing altitude.

38. Virtually Hawaii: Remote Sensing Example While we do not want to give you a complete course in physics, we thought that you might like to have a bit of the background to these remote sensing images http://satftp.soest.hawaii.edu/space/hawaii/vfts/oahu/rem_sens_ex/rsex.spectral.

Introduction to Remote Sensing (Page 1): Why satellite images have different colors In Virtually Hawaii, we show you a large number of images taken from aircraft and spacecraft that have unusual colors compared to the ones we can see with our eyes. Often, we are asked "why is one part of the image red and the other blue?". This is because we have chosen to use display three different wavelengths on our computer screen where the surface is highly reflective (bright) at these wavelengths. These colors are the result of using instruments that study different parts of the spectrum to the part that our eyes can see. While we do not want to give you a complete course in physics, we thought that you might like to have a bit of the background to these remote sensing images. First, we need to know that a spacecraft (Landsat, SPOT, or the SIR-C radar) does not "see" in color. Every image is obtained in black and white at a precise wavelength (usually between 0.4 to 12.0 microns). These electronic cameras only collect information in black and white, but they can obtain many images at the same time in different parts of the spectrum. If we look at the diagram below of the spectrum, we see several broad regions that include the ultraviolet (wavelengths between 0.3 - 0.4 microns), visible (0.4 to 0.7 microns), near-infrared (0.7 to 1.2 microns), the solar reflected infrared (1.2 to 3.2 microns), the mid-infrared (3.2 to 15 microns) and the far infrared (longer than 15.0 microns).
