From page 229... ...
A U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration satellite that collects multispectral data.

From page 230... ...
A false color composite is a common composite image in which different spectral bands of the same image are displayed simultaneously using different colors. DEM: Digital elevation model.
|
From page 231... ...
An image preprocessing procedure that corrects spatial distortions. Features in an image are repositioned so their locations are correct based on a known coordinate system, such as latitude/longitude.
|
From page 232... ...
The imaging system collects Multispectral data in seven bands (six nonthermal and one thermal) ranging from visible radiation to thermal infrared radiation.
|
From page 233... ...
NDVI: Normalized Difference Vegetation Index. A measure of vegetation vigor computed from multispectral data.
|
From page 234... ...
A type of analysis that accounts for the dependence of an outcome variable on a causal factor by providing a range of possible outcomes based on changes in the value of the causal factor. For example, a range of precipitation values may be computed in a general circulation model by changing the amount of carbon dioxide (causal factor)

From page 235... ...
A SPOT imaging system that collects data in a single spectral band. SPOT PAN images have a spatial resolution of 10 x tom.
|
From page 236... ...
An example of a USGS Level II class is residential land use. USGS Level III class.
