2. Beyond Spectral and Spatial data: Exploring other domains of information: 5 GEOG3010 Remote Sensing and Image Processing Lewis RSU

3. Domains of Information Spectral angular multi-temporal distance-resolved spatial

4. Spatial Information ‘texture’ / spatial dependency / context typically use measures of texture –size of objects –orientation –spacing and arrangement

5. Spatial Information Directional texture

6. Spatial Information Use: calculate texture measures –use to discriminate / classify –relate to physical properties (tree spacing etc.)

7. Spatial Information

8. Baringo, Kenya ‘Textures’ from tree density - dense to sparse

9. Measure texture using statistical measure of spatial dependency semivariance

10. Spatial Dependency points at a small distance apart (A-B ; B-C; C-D) are more likely to lie on the same object (have the same properties) than points further apart (A-C; B-D; A-D). Geostatistics

11. Spatial Dependency geostatistics - measure/model spatial dependencies using semivariogram Geostatistics

12. Spatial Dependency at some ‘lag distance’ (h) (spacing between points) the semivariance is: –half of the average (mean) squared difference between the property values at the sample points. Geostatisticssemivariance

13. Spatial Dependency Geostatistics - h = 1

14. Spatial Dependency Geostatistics - h = 2

15. Spatial Dependency Geostatistics - h = 3

16. Spatial Dependency Geostatistics - h = 14 Range of spatial dependency

17. Sill nugget variance

18. Features of the semivariogram Range –range of spatial dependency in data Sill –semivariance at and beyond range (half the scene variance) Nugget variance –extrapolated semivariance at lag 0 –variation at sub-measurement unit
