REMOTE SENSING DEFINITION Remote Sensing Remote Sensing can be defined as: "The arte and science to obtain data from an object avoiding direct contact with it” (Jensen 2000). There is a transmission medium involved? Remote Sensing Of the Environment: … is the collection of information regarding our Planet surface and its phenomena involving sensors that are not in direct contact with the studied area. The main focus is in recollected information from a spatial perspective throughout electromagnetic radiation transmission. Remote Sensing Sensor election. Reception, storage and digital signal processing of the data. Analysis of the resulting information.

Make sense of a landscape Place landscape into categories (classes) Forest, Agriculture, Water, Soil, etc. Classification scheme = structure of classes Depends on needs of users. Typical uses Provide context Landscape planning or assessment Research projects Natural resources management Archaeological studies Drive models Meteorology Biodiversity Water distribution Land use Example: Near Mary’s Peak •Derived from a 1988 Landsat TM image •Distinguish types of forest Legend Open Semi-open Broadleaf Mixed Young Conifer Mature Conifer Old Conifer Classification: Critical Point LAND COVER not necessarily equivalent to LAND USE We focus on what’s there: LAND COVER Many users are interested in how what is there is being used: LAND USE Example Grass is land cover; pasture and recreational parks are land uses of grass Basic Strategy: How to do it? Use radiometric properties of remote sensor Different objects have different spectral signatures Basic Strategy: How to do it? In an easy world, all “vegetation” pixels would have exactly the same spectral signature. Then we could just say that any pixel in an image with that signature was vegetation. We could do the same for soil, water, etc. to end up with a map of classes. Basic Strategy: How to do it? But in reality, that is not the case. Looking at several pixels with vegetation, you’d see variety in spectral signatures. The same would happen for other types of pixels, as well. The Classification Trick: Deal with variability •Different ways of dealing with the variability lead to different ways of classifying images. •To talk about this, we need to look at spectral signatures a little differently. Think of a pixel’s brightness in a 2-Dimensional space. The pixel occupies a point in that space. The vegetation pixel and the soil pixel occupy different points in a 2-D space. With variability, the vegetation pixels now occupy a region, not a point, of n-Dimensional space. Soil pixels occupy a different region of n-Dimensional space. Basic Strategy: Deal with variability • Classification: • Delineate boundaries of classes in n-dimensional space • Assign class names to pixels using those boundaries Classification Strategies Two basic strategies: Supervised Classification We impose our perceptions on the spectral data. Unsupervised Classification Spectral data imposes constraints on our interpretation. Supervised Classification Supervised classification requires the analyst to select training areas where he knows what is on the ground and then digitize a polygon within that area… The computer then creates...

How? Rather than defining training sets and carving out pieces of n-Dimensional space, we define no classes beforehand and instead use statistical approaches to divide the n-Dimensional space into clusters with the best separation. After the fact, we assign class names to those clusters. Unsupervised Classification The analyst requests the computer to examine the image and extract a number of spectrally distinct clusters… Digital Image Spectrally Distinct Clusters Cluster 3 Cluster 6 Cluster 5 Cluster 2 Cluster 1 Cluster 4 Unsupervised Classification Saved Clusters Cluster 3 Output Classified Image Cluster 6 Cluster 5 Cluster 2 Cluster 1 Cluster 4 Next Pixel to be Classified Unknown Unsupervised Classification The result is essentially the same as that of the supervised classification: It is a simple process to regroup (recode) the clusters into meaningful information classes (the legend).

Multispectral images are the main type of images acquired by remote sensing radiometers. Usually, remote sensing systems have from 3 to 7 radiometers; each one acquires one digital image in a small band of visible spectra, ranging 450 to 690 nm, called red-green-blue (RGB) regions: Blue -> 450-520 nm. Green -> 520-600 nm. Red -> 600-690 nm. The combination of the RGB spectral bands generates the so-called True-Color RS images. Weighted Pixel Statistics Method Statistical Approach. Assume normal distributions of pixels within classes. For each class, build a discriminant function For each pixel in the image, this function calculates the probability that the pixel is a member of that class. Takes into account mean and variance of training set. Each pixel is assigned to the class for which it has the highest probability of membership. Weighted Pixel Statistics Method Mean Signature 1 Candidate Pixel Mean Signature 2 It appears that the candidate pixel is closest to Signature 1. However, when we consider the variance around the signatures… Blue Green Red Near-IR Mid-IR Weighted Pixel Statistics Method Mean Signature 1 Candidate Pixel Mean Signature 2 The candidate pixel clearly belongs to the signature 2 group. Blue Green Red Near-IR Mid-IR Weighted Pixel Statistics Method Weighted Pixel Statistics Method VERIFICATION PROTOCOLS Verification Protocols A set of three synthesized images are used as verification protocols. All synthesized images are True-Color (RGB), presented in 1024-by-1024 pixels (TIFF format). Each synthesized image contains three different regions (in yellow, blue and black colors) with a different pattern. The developed Weighted Pixel Statistics (WPS) algorithm is compared with the most traditional Weighted Order Statistics (WOS) method [S.W. Perry, H.S. Wong, 2002].

The WOS method uses only 1 spectral band. The WPS method uses the information from the three spectral bands to analyze the pixel-level neighborhood means and variances. The results shows a more accurate and less smoothed identification of the classes. SIMULATION EXPERIMENTS Archaeological Land Use A Remote Sensing Signatures (RSS) electronic map is extracted from the multispectral image. Three level RSS are selected for this particular simulation process, defined as: ██ – Archaeological land use zones. ██ – Modern land use zones. ██ – Natural land cover zones. ██ – Unclassified zones. Archaeological Site "Guachimontones", Jalisco Mexico Simulation Results Scene from "Guachimontones" Original Scene WPS Classification Hidrological Variations A Remote Sensing Signatures (RSS) electronic map is extracted from the multispectral image. Three level RSS are selected for this particular simulation process, defined as: ██ – Humid zones. ██ – Dry zones. ██ – Wet zones. ██ – Unclassified zones. Simulation Results Scene from "La Vega" dam, Jalisco Mexico Original Scene WPS Classification CONCLUDING REMARKS Remarks The WOS classifier generates several unclassified zones because it uses only one spectral band in the classification process. The WPS classifier provides a high-accurate classification without unclassified zones because it uses more robust information in the processing. The qualitative and quantitative analysis probe the efficiency of the proposed approach. Future Work Comparison with several classification techniques.
