Description:
Detailed step by step instructions and the corresponding figures lead the student through some of the basic analysis procedures used in the study of satellite images for a variety of earth resources applications. No mathematical ability is required, but it is suggested that students come to these exercises already understanding the basic characteristics of digital, multispectral remotely-sensed images (spatial, temporal, spectral and radiometric). Using only a pencil (and eraser) the reader is led through steps which mimic the actions of a computer. Once the exercises are completed, the reader should have a functional knowledge of the basic multispectral analysis methods and data presentation formats. Documents are available in French and Portuguese as well as in English.
