1. INFORMATION EXTRACTION IN REMOTE SENSING
“Remote sensing is the technology allowing to obtain information of an object, area or phenomenon by means of data coming from an apparatus, which is not in physical contact with this object, area or phenomenon.”
In practice, this means that the information of the Earth's surface is obtained by sensors mounted on an airplane or a satellite.
Remote sensors record electromagnetic radiation emitted or reflected from the Earth’s surface. Different types of vegetation, soils and other features emit and reflect energy differently.

DIFFERENT TECHNIQUES OF INFORMATION EXTRACTION
Remote sensing:is a technique of collecting information from a distance
Remotely sensed data:
The data collected from a distance
6
“Remote Sensing (RS) is the science and art of acquiring information (spectral, spatial, temporal) about material objects, area, or phenomenon, without coming into physical contact with the objects, or area, or phenomenon under investigation”
Definitions of Remote Sensing
“Remote sensing is the science and art of obtaining information about an object ,area or phenomenon through the analysis of data acquired by a device that is not in contact with the object, area or phenomenon under investigation”

“Image Interpretation”
Photographic Interpretation can be defined as: “the act of examining photographic images for the purpose of identifying objects and judging their significance” (Colwell, 1997).

Image Interpretation (visual analysis)
Photographic Interpretation can be defined as: “the act of examining photographic images for the purpose of identifying objects and judging their significance” (Colwell, 1997).
16
Two methods of information extraction from remote sensing imagery
Information extraction based on visual analysis or interpretation of data e.g. land use, soil map, updating of topographic maps from aerial
photographs
Information extraction based on semi-automatic processing by computer e.g. automatic generation of DTM, image classification and calculation of surface parameters
17
Image understanding and Interpretation
1st Method
Human Vision
Interpretation elements
Stereoscopic vision
18
Direct and spontaneous recognition----refers to the ability of an interpreter to identify objects or phenomena at a first glance.
By a reasoning process (logical inference) ---In the reasoning interpreter will use his professional knowledge & experience. If reasoning cannot help then field observation is required
Two situations of human vision:
i. Direct and spontaneous recognitionii By a reasoning process(logical inference)
1- Human Vision
21
“A set of terms required to express and define characteristics present in pictures (that are visualized in image data) are called Interpretation elements.” e.g.
i. Tone/Hueii. Textureiii. Shapeiv. Sizev. Patternvi. Sitevii. Association
2- Interpretation elements
22
1. Tone/Hue--- relative brightness of black and white image
2. Texture--- refers to the colour on the image as defined in the Intensity, Hue ,Saturation (HIS)system
3. Shape--- form characteristics many terrain objects visible in the image
4. Size--- relative or absolute
5. Pattern--- refers to the spatial arrangement objects e.g. concentric, radial---irrigation and housing have different pattern
6. Site--- relates to the topographic or geographic location
7. Association--- refers to the fact that a combination of objects makes it possible to infer about its meaning or functioning
2- Interpretation elements/Keys
23
The impression of depth in real world can be realized by the pair of images of the same object taken from different positions. Such a pair of images, photographs or digital images that are separated and observed at the same time by the two eyes give images on the retinas in which objects at different positions in space are projected on relative different positions. This is called Stereoscopic Vision
Stereo grams---Pairs of images that can be viewed stereoscopically are called Stereo grams.
Convergence---Focusing both eyes to the object(point) of interest is called convergence.
3- Stereoscopic Vision
24Pocket stereoscope with original test image. Used by military to examine stereoscopic pairs of vertical aerial photographs.
Pocket and Mirror stereoscope
30
Process of visual image interpretation
Selection of image data and its hard copy prints
Use of transparencies to overlay on hard copy print of image for interpretation
Digitization of Point, Line & Polygon features in the form of line patterns on transparencies having
class codes & land cover codes.
Validation: independent assessment of accuracy
31
Task on Analogue image Interpretation
Bring the following stationary in the next class:
Permanent markers of red, green, blue and black
Six A4 size transparencies
Print of the given image having size of 2 by 2 feet
