Title: UTILIZATION OF REMOTE SENSING IN THE PRELIMINARY AERIAL SURVEY-HIGHWAY PLANNING STAGE IN VIRGINIA
Accession Number: 00203766
Record Type: Component
Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: THE PURPOSE OF THE STUDY WAS TO DETERMINE WHETHER INFRARED TECHNOLOGY COULD BE USED TO DELINEATE SOIL AREAS HAVING A HIGH MOISTURE CONTENT. LOCATED IN AUGUSTA COUNTY, VIRGINIA, THE STUDY AREA IS MAPPED GEOLOGICALLY, TOPOGRAPHICALLY, AND PEDOLOGICALLY AND IS HEAVILY FARMED AND 80 PERCENT NONFORESTED. DATA WERE COLLECTED WITH A MULTISENSOR ARRAY, INCLUDING CAMERAS AND MULTISPECTRAL SENSORS. THE ELECTROMAGNETIC SPECTRUM WAS SENSED FROM THE VIOLET THROUGH THE FAR INFRARED. GROUND TRUTH IN THE FORM OF RADIOMETER AND THERMOMETER READINGS AND COLOR PHOTOGRAPHS WAS TAKEN AT THE TIME OF THE FLIGHTS. THE 8.0-TO 13.5-MICROMETER BAND WAS SENSED DURING THE DAY AND NIGHT AND WAS INTERPRETED FOR INFORMATION ABOUT THOSE FEATURES ASSOCIATED WITH HIGH MOISTURE CONTENT. CORRELATION OF THIS INFORMATION WITH THAT OBTAINED FROM THE VARIOUS TYPES OF PHOTOGRAPHS WAS ATTEMPTED.
