Remote Sensing
• information about an object by a recording device not in contact with the object
• cameras, lasers, scanners, radar systems, Lidar
• the term did not exist before satellites (1960s) increased the scope of aerial surveys with digital scanning

Remote Sensing
• 1910s: First (wartime) aerial photography
• 1940s: aerial photography programs
• 1960s: first satellites: Espionage, weather,
communications
• 1970s: Digital imagery for earth mapping
• 2000s: free web images

Early aerial photography (before planes):
balloons, pigeons and mountain tops

Aerial Photography • Aerial photography = two sciences:
– Photogrammetry (=precise locations and heights)– Air photo interpretation (=feature identification)
• Advantages over ground surveying– Cost and time-convenience– Historical record

Aerial Photography• Flightlines
• Overlap
• Corrected and mosaiced
• Type: Pan, Colour, IR

Air Photo Interpretation
• Tone / colour• Texture• Shape• Pattern• Size• Shadows• Context

Vegetation Information and the Electromagnetic Spectrum
• Visible visible characteristics (RGB)
• Near IR vegetation vigour / health
• Mid IR vegetation and soil moisture
• Thermal IR temperature / heat
• Microwave/Radar texture e.g. high for forest

The giant dog you can see from space
Monday, June 9, 2008 BORIS the bull mastiff is so big that he can be seen lounging in his favourite position in the garden - from space. The 89kg dog has been captured on Google Earth's satellite images. His owners noticed an enormous brown blob on the image of their front garden and were stunned to discover it was their pet. 'He was in his favourite place,' said Fran Milner, from Bournemouth. We knew he was big but didn't think he was big enough to be seen from space.'
