1
Energy Flow Concept Image Sensor Energy Source
Atmospheric Absorption and Scattering Reflectance Absorption Transmittance Interpretation and Analysis Landscape Information, maps and statistics, for Applications
2
Spectral responses of different materials
Clear Water Green Vegetation Turbid Water Light Soil Dark Soil
3
Wavelength and Frequency
Units of wavelength: Nanometers: 1 nm = 10-9 m Micrometers: 1 μm = 10-6 m c = λv where: λ = wavelength (m) V = frequency (cycles/second, Hz) c = speed of light (3x108 m/s)
4
Electromagnetic Spectrum
5
Radiant Flux Total power of EM radiation emitted from object (or incident upon a surface) Wavelength dependent upon temperature Energy also dependent upon temperature
6
Radiation Laws Wien’s Displacement Law
Relationship between the wavelength of radiation emitted and temperature of the object Where m is the wavelength of maximum emission Hotter objects have maximum emittance (radiance) at shorter wavelengths
7
Radiation Laws Stefan-Boltzman Law
Radiation emitted from a blackbody is proportional to the fourth power of its absolute temperature W = σ T4 σ is Stefan-Boltzman constant x 10-8 (Wm-2 K-4) T is absolute temperature in Kelvin (K) Energy emitted from an object is primarily a function of its temperature
10
EM interactions with matter
11
Atmospheric Absorption
12
Atmospheric Absorption
13
Atmospheric Effects Scattering by suspended particles or large gas molecules redirects electromagnetic energy Type of scattering depends on atmospheric composition
14
Atmospheric Visibility… a good indictor of atmospheric effects in remote sensing
15
EMR Energy Budget AKA: Backscatter or path radiance
16
Remote Sensing Equation
LA = 1/ E + LP LA = apparent radiance detected by sensor = reflectance E = solar irradiance = atmospheric transmittance LP = contribution to apparent radiance by atmospheric scattering
