Overall evaluation of ERTS imagery for cartographic application

The author has identified the following significant results. As a result of an examination of a set of precision processed images, the precision processor appears to be working properly and geometric quality of RBV and MSS precision and RBV bulk imagery is adequate for 1:250,000 scale while the MSS bulk is compatible to 1:1,000,000 scale at best. However, the nongeometric quality of the MSS bulk is good for 1:250,000 scale while the MSS precision is sufficient for 1:500,000 scale. The nongeometric quality of the RBV bulk images is good for 1:250,000 to 1:500,000 scale while that of the RBV precision processed images is only rated fair and sufficient for 1:500,000 to 1:1,000,000 scale. Attempts to warp a grid to MSS bulk imagery and thus produce a useable cartographic product are being examined.

Environmental study of ERTS-1 imagery Lake Champlain Basin and Vermont

The author has idenfified the following significant results. A first approximation land-type map using three categories of classification was generated for the Burlington area. The identification and mapping of a major turbidity front separating turbid waters of the southern arm of Lake Champlain from the clearer main water mass was reported on RBV 1 and 2 imagery and on subsequent MSS bands 4 and 5. Significant industrial pollution of Lake Champlain has degraded environmental quality in certain sections of the lake. Wetlands were detected and recognized using a combination of RBV bands 2 and 3. Using first-look RBV band 2 imagery, major ice marginal features were identified by using tonal patterns associated with vegetative cover. Major rivers were detected and recognized through the use of RBV band 3 imagery and MSS bands 6 and 7.

Automatic identification of land uses from ERTS-1 data obtained over Milwaukee, Wisconsin

The author has identified the following significant results. Spectrally, thirteen classes of ground cover were identified within Milwaukee County: five classes of water, grassy open areas, beach, two classes of road, woods, suburban, inner city, and industry. A distinct concentric pattern of land use was identified in the county radiating outward from the central business district. The first ring has a principal feature, termed the inner city, which is indicative of the older part of the county. In the second ring, the land use becomes more complex, consisting of suburban areas, parks, and varied institutional features. The third general ring consists primarily of open, grassy land, with scattered residential subdivisions, wood lots, and small water bodies. The five classes of water identified suggest differences in depth, turbidity, and/or color. A number of major roads were identified. Other spectrally identifiable features included the larger county parks and larger cemeteries.
