Land classification of south-central Iowa from computer enhanced images

The author has identified the following significant results. The Iowa Geological Survey developed its own capability for producing color products from digitally enhanced LANDSAT data. Research showed that efficient production of enhanced images required full utilization of both computer and photographic enhancement procedures. The 29 August 1972 photo-optically enhanced color composite was more easily interpreted for land classification purposes than standard color composites.

Land Classification of South-central Iowa from Computer Enhanced Images

The author has identified the following significant results. Two enhanced false color negatives from multispectral scanner scenes, dated 15 April 1974 and 29 August 1972, were printed at a scale of 1:125,000 to form the basis for land use interpretations in the Wapello County, Iowa test site. The use of geomorphic principles proved valuable in the interpretation of the April scene to form valuable generalizations for planning purposes on soil associations, topography, alluvial valleys, and agricultural land use. The August scene was superior in providing information on urban extent, transportation networks, forest cover, and water bodies.

Land Classification of South-Central Iowa from Computer Enhanced Images

The author has identified the following significant results. Two CCT (computer compatible tapes) scenes were digitally enhanced. The IMAGE 100 system was utilized for image processing. The real time ability of this machine allowed large scale viewing of several selected areas on both CCT's.
