GEO 481 Lecture Notes - Lecture 12: Spectral Resolution, Orthophoto
Document Summary
Provide information on the distribution of vegetation types, developed areas, and agricultural areas of the us. Includes detailed vegetation information for the continental us. Primarily used for habitat assessments in wildlife management. Nlcd have more details in developed areas. 8 classes first level; 590 land use classes in total. Detailed information on the vegetative communities of an area; such information is not available in most other regional or national land cover products. Lulc data are obtained based on remote sensing images. Remote sensing images are collected by many organizations. In the us, publicly available remote sensing images are collected and published by. High-resolution orthophotograph (hro) is a widely available dataset with a 0. 3-meter spatial resolution. High-resolution orthophotograph is a widely available dataset with a 0. 3-meter spatial resolution. Hro is usually collected during leaf-off periods. Other images may be needed for vegetation mapping. The first set of widely available remote sensing images. Doqs can be (b/w), natural, or color-infrared (cir) images.
