Evaluation of Landscape Structure Using AVIRIS Quicklooks and Ancillary Data

摘要: Currently the best tool for examining landscape structure is remote sensing, because remotely sensed data provide complete and repeatable coverage over landscapes in many climatic regimes. Many sensors, with a variety of spatial scales temporal repeat cycles, are available. The Airborne Visible/Infrared Imaging Spectrometer (AVIRIS) has imaged 4000 scenes from 100 different sites throughout North America. For each these scenes, one-band "quicklook" images have been produced review by AVIRIS investigators. These quicklooks free, publicly available Internet, most set yet produced. This paper describes methodologies used to evaluate generate corresponding datasets climate, topography land use. A brief discussion preliminary results included at end. Since correspond exactly their parent methods derive use should be applicable any analysis.
