 This section will explain the main image processing steps to map biophysical properties using remote sensing imagery derived from passive sensors. The steps described will focus on:

  • Pre-processing sequence: Image acquisition, Types of corrections, When to correct, Radiometric corrections, Geometric correction & Masking (e.g. water, cloud)
  • Field data for calibration and validation: Groundcover surveys, Vegetation structure surveys, Spectral library collection, Optical properties & Control points
  • Commonly used mapping approaches: Manual delineation and labeling, Object-based analysis, Supervised classification, Unsupervised classification, Inverse modeling, & Regression analysis
  • Detecting change and trends: What is change and trend detection?, Image requirements, Trend detection and analysis, Example time series imagery, Example change maps
  • Delivering a remote sensing product: Post classification refinement, Error assessment procedures, Evaluate error matrix using appropriate statistics & Communication of map products
