4 CS 128/ES 228 - Lecture 9a3 History of remote sensing Earliest vehicle was …? Tournachon (‘Nadar’) took 1 st aerial photograph in 1858 (since lost) Earliest conserved aerial photograph: Boston, J. Black, 1860 Early applications were in military reconnaissance

7 CS 128/ES 228 - Lecture 9a6 Satellite sensing Russian Sputnik (1957) - radio transmitter only Rapid response by US: CORONA (1960) Early applications: military reconnaissance

8 CS 128/ES 228 - Lecture 9a7 Advantages of satellites Wide coverage Vertical (orthogonal) view Multi-spectral data bands Rapid data collection

9 CS 128/ES 228 - Lecture 9a8 Sources of EM radiation Key distinction: passive sensing active sensing Spectral ‘signatures” Top: Lo & Yeung, fig. 8.1 Bottom: ASTER Spectral Library (http://speclib.jpl.nasa.gov)

10 CS 128/ES 228 - Lecture 9a9 Types of EM radiation used Three important spectral bands: visible light infrared radiation microwave radiation Image from NASA 1987. SAR: Synthetic Aperture Radar. Earth Observing System, Vol. IIf.

11 CS 128/ES 228 - Lecture 9a10 Atmospheric attenuation Scattering caused by aerosols (water vapor, dust, smoke) more intense at shorter wavelengths why the sky is blue Absorption  caused by gas molecules (H 2 O, CO 2, O 2, O 3 )  each molecule absorbs at a specific wave- length  result: atmospheric transmission windows

12 CS 128/ES 228 - Lecture 9a11 Transmission windows  UV-visible-IR  Microwave Image from NASA 1987. From Pattern to Process: The Strategy of the Earth Observing System. Vol. II.

13 CS 128/ES 228 - Lecture 9a12 Classes of sensors Photographic panchromatic color Infrared (IR)  film (near IR)  thermal IR sensors for longer wave- lengths Multi-spectral scanners  sensors for many wavelengths  image scanned across sensors Radar  RAdio Detection And Ranging  active imaging

14 CS 128/ES 228 - Lecture 9a13 Visual sensors: film types panchromatic near-infrared color Both images from Committee on Earth Observation Satellites http://ceos.cnes.fr:8100/cdrom-98/ceos1/irsd/content.htm

15 CS 128/ES 228 - Lecture 9a14 Infrared sensors  IR penetrates haze and light cloud cover can be used at night used by military for camouflage detection IR ‘signature’ often distinct from visible image

16 CS 128/ES 228 - Lecture 9a15 Color IR film  Used with yellow (blue- absorbing) filter 3 primary pigments, but not “true” (visible) color - green vegetation = red - clear water = dark blue - turbid water = bright blue - soil = green - urban areas = pale blue Top image: Committee on Earth Observation Satellites http://ceos.cnes.fr:8100/cdrom-98/ceos1/irsd/content.htm Bottom image: Avery. 1977.

21 CS 128/ES 228 - Lecture 9a20 Sensor resolution Spatial: size of smallest objects visible on ground. Ranges from 1 km. Inversely related to area covered by image Spectral: wavelengths recorded. Ex. panchromatic film (~0.2 – 0.7 µm); Landsat Thematic Mapper bands (0.06 to 0.24 µm wide) Radiometric: # bits/pixel. Ex. Landsat TM (8 bit); AVRIS (12 bit) Temporal: for satellite, time to repeat coverage. Ex. Landsats 5 & 7 (16 days)

22 CS 128/ES 228 - Lecture 9a21 Spatial resolution: analog (film) images Depends on: lens quality & camera stability size of negative film grain High quality aerial photograph:  up to 60 lines/mm  9 x 9” (23 x 23 cm) negative  scanned at 3000 dpi = ~725 megapixels  if 8 bit image depth, >5 GB image size
