| Description | The author has identified the following significant results. Preliminary analysis of the capabilities of ERTS-1 data in land use mapping and change detection has revealed that Level 1 land use mapping can be performed and that in some cases land use changes can be identified. Land use interpretation was accomplished with the aid of a film projection viewer and the I2S additive color viewer. By varying the filters and illumination of each spectral band it was possible to better distinguish urban areas and transportation routes. Also it enabled the toning down of signatures such as cropland and forests which on many color infrared composite photographs were washed out with strong red tints. It appears that ERTS-1 imagery is useful not only for Level 1 mapping at scales of 1:250,000 or smaller, but also for monitoring agricultural changes and locating areas of construction, when such land uses approach an area of approximately two hectares. |
