Remote Sensing and Image Analysis

(AP)

• Visualizing image data - discuss the definition of 'bands' or 'channels' and how these are related to display colors.
• Colors are defined through different models or color spaces. Why is RGB most important for imagery interpretation, and where do values for R, G and B come from?
• Define the essential difference between panchromatic, multispectral (and hyperspectral) images and visualisations? Answer in one sentence.
• Why is microwave remote sensing better suited for monitoring tropical rain forests than optical remote sensing? Explain two factors, related to wave length and active/passive systems!
