Lab 8: Expert System/Decision Tree and Artificial Neural Network Classifiers

Image
Goals and Background: The goal of this lab was to gain experience in correcting classification with the expert system/decision tree method leveraging ancillary data, and performing a neural network classification. The expert system/decision tree method for classification allows the user to create shapes that designate an area where the user would like to change specific classes to other classes in an existing classified image by using whatever ancillary data is available to the user to consult. This is performed in ERDAS Imagine. The neural network classifier simulates the structure of the human brain in performing its black box classification based on a users input parameters and data, and can be performed in ENVI. The Methods: Part 1: Classification using the expert system/decision tree method This section was performed using the Knowledge Engineer tool in ERDAS Imagine. In examining the provided classified image of the cities of Eau Claire and Chippewa Falls it was evident

Lab 2: Radiometric and Atmospheric Correction

Image
Goals and Background: The goal of this lab was to familiarize students with performing non-radiative transfer code (RTC) methods of absolute and also relative atmospheric correction on remotely sensed images. More specifically, the Empirical Line Calibration and Enhanced Image Dark Object Subtraction absolute atmospheric correction methods were performed in parts 1 and 2 of this lab, and Multidate Image Normalization was performed in part 3 of the lab. Because of the complexity of finding the in-situ data such as atmospheric moisture content, temperature, pressure, aerosol contents, vertical distribution of water vapor, and other factors, RTC methods were not employed in this lab. All work was performed in ERDAS Imagine. Atmospheric correction is a necessary step before performing many major remote sensing functions. Before measuring any biophysical elements of an image including soil properties (such as performing a ferrous mineral index), vegetation characteristics (such as perf

Lab 9: Hyperspectral remote sensing

Image
Goals and Background: In this lab hyperspectral data was introduced. The goal of the lab was to become familiar with various functions and procedures associated with this type of data. Hyperspectral data was atmospherically corrected using the FLAASH radiative transfer code method, hyperspectral signatures were plotted and compared to sample signatures, hyperspectral data was animated to show all bands, hyperspectral data was used in combination with various indecies to produce vegetation analysis data, and hyperspectral data was corrected for noise. Methods: Part 1 Section 1: Plotting hyperspectral signatures  An JPL-calibrated AVIRIS image including 50 bands from 1.99 to 2.48 µm was brought into ENVI, and provided regions of interest of different minerals were opened after displaying the 183, 193, and 207 bands in RGB. Histograms for these ROIs were then opened and compared, paying special attention to features of the plots that could be used to identify one mineral from anot
