Wave Model , Cont.
From basic physics, waves obey the generalequation:
c = v
Since c is essentially a constant (3 x 108 m/sec),frequency v and wavelength for any given waveare related inversely, and either term can be usedto characterise a wave into a particular form.Frequency is the number of wavelengths that pass a point per unit time.

Particle Model
Particle (Quantum) Model suggests that EM radiation is
composed of many discrete units called photons or
quanta. The energy of a quantum is given as:
Q = hvwhere:
Q = energy of a quantum or photon (Joules - J)
h = Planks constant, (6.626 x 10-34 J/sec)
v = frequency
![Page 19: Remote Sensing - METEOCLOUDmeteocloud.weebly.com/uploads/4/4/8/5/44850915/remote... · 2018-08-29 · • ERDAS IMAGINE is a remote sensing image processing application. • It allows](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042100/5e7cc14ea048cf10823f30e7/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Particle Model, Cont.
We can combine the Wave and Particle models for EM
radiation by substituting v = c/ in the above equation.
This gives us:
Q = hc
From this we can see that the energy of a quantum is
inversely proportional to its wavelength. Thus, the longer
the wavelength of EM radiation, the lower its energy
content.

Thus, the amount of energy emitted by an object such as the
Sun or the Earth is a function of its temperature.

3- Wien’s displacement law
In addition to computing the total amount of energy exiting a theoretical
blackbody such as the Sun, we can determine its dominant wavelength
(max) based on Wein's displacement law:
where k is a constant equaling 2898 m K, and T is the absolute
temperature in kelvin.
Therefore, as the Sun approximates a 6000 K blackbody, its dominant
wavelength (max ) is 0.48 m:

Reflectance• The reflectance of an object is a physical property of the object
independent of the illumination conditions. It is a unitless quantity
ρ has values between 0 and 1.
Reflectance is a useful property because it describes a
characteristic of the object alone. Therefore, it is desirable to
find a relationship between the reflectance p of the object
and the radiance L as measured by the satellite.

format by subdividing the image into small equal-sized
and shaped areas, called pixels.
•Most remote sensors work by seeing only very narrow
ranges of wavelengths or colours. .
•The information from a narrow wavelength range is
gathered and stored in a channel, also sometimes
referred to as a band.
• The computer displays each digital value as different
brightness levels.

Image filtering
• It is important to improve the appearance
of the image .
• More informative map .

Geometric Correction
• A digital image processing technique used to
compensate for image distortion and projecting
the image to real world referencing system.

Radiation-Matter Interactions
• The amount on interaction depends upon;
– the composition and physical properties of the
medium.
– the wavelength or frequency of the incident
radiation.
– the angle at which the incident radiation
strikes a surface.

Atmospheric Scattering
• Important scattering agents include;
– gas molecules.
– suspended particulates.
– Clouds.
• There are three types of atmospheric scattering
important to remote sensing;
– Rayleigh or molecular scattering.
– Mie or non-molecular scattering.
– Non-selective scattering.

Radiometer components
• Upward and downward facing sensor to
measure both incoming and reflected
radiation, nearly simultaneously;
