Application of ERTS images and image processing to regional geologic problems and geologic mapping in northern Arizona

摘要: The author has identified the following significant results. Computer image processing was shown to be both valuable and necessary in extraction of proper subset 200 million bits information an ERTS applied a specific problem. Spectral reflectivity obtained from four MSS bands can correlated with situ spectral reflectance measurements after path radiance effects have been removed normalization made. A detailed map major fault systems 90,000 sq km area northern Arizona compiled high altitude photographs pre-existing published unpublished data. With use images, three systems, Sinyala, Bright Angel, Mesa Butte, were their full extent measured. byproduct regional studies identification possible sources shallow ground water, scarce commodity these regions.
