Pixel Values and Digital Images 1. What is Remote Sensing? Process of gathering information without touching it 2.

What are some different types of sensors that satellites use to do remote sensing? IR, U , isi!le light, Radio ". #i$e " e%amples of remote sensing. &icroscopes and 'elescopes, (cholocation, Infrared Radiation ). What are digital images made of? 'hey are composed of pi%els arranged in rows and columns *. What is the digital num!er +,-.? It is a numerical $alue that is connected to e$ery pi%el that show what the grayscale is /. What is assigned to each ,-? 0olors or shade of grey +!rightness. 1. What is an 2U' +loo34up ta!le.? It is sued to show the scale relationship !etween each pi%el5s ,- and its assigned color or gray !rightness $alue 6. ,igital images can !e manipulated to help us do what? (nhance weather images to see moisture, wind patterns, solar energy, 7. What are Pseudo color images? 'hey are false colors, colors that can !e assigned to an image using the 2U' 18. #i$e some e%amples of what a Pseudo image can help do. (nhance satellite images to see fire, glacier mo$ement, forest depletion 11. What is meant !y &ulti4Spectral Remote Sensing? Recording energy in the red, green, !lue, IR, U , or other parts of the electromagnetic spectrum 12. (%plain the process of &ulti4Spectral Remote Sensing. &easures the amount of energy reflected in !ands that correspond to specific colors 1". #i$e an e%ample of what can !e accomplished !y do &ulti4Spectral Remote Sensing. Scientists can pic3 out the range of color of mari9uana plants grown 1). What is :rightness? 'he intensity of white in an image

1*. What is 0ontrast or alue? 0ontrast or alue ; the difference !etween the lightness and dar3ness of an image 1/. What is the Scale that Scion uses for measuring the distances on (arth? 1/ s<uare miles e<ual to 1 pi%el 11. Why might the distance measured !e slightly incorrect? 'he cur$ature of the earth 16. What is a histogram? 'hey are !ar graphs that display the num!er of pi%els, the taller of the !ar the greater the pi%els 17. What are some things that a histogram can !e used for? 0omparing different time graphs in chun3s of time 28. What is ,ensity Slicing? =llows you to highlight a range of pi%el $alues in the 2U' 21. What is ,ensity slicing used for? 'he highlighted pi%els help you $isuali>e areas of interest 22. What are ,(&5s? Images where ,- +digital num!er. or grayscale $alues represent ele$ation 2". What can a ,(& !e con$erted into using software li3e ", &a%? Relief &ap 2). What is (le$ation 0ali!ration? 'o ta3e the data from a ,(& to apply 3nown ele$ation to calculate other ele$ations 2*. #i$e an e%ample (le$ation 0ali!ration. &apping out the sea surface floor 2/. #i$e an e%ample of what type of animation that can !e created using these digital images collected !y the process of remote sensing. = time4lapse of a certain area such as the rain forest to record deforestation or the ice caps to record the rate at which they are melting.
