GIS 4035L - Lab 1: Visual Interpretation

Hello everybody, for the first lab of semester for Remote Sensing, we took a look at the basic principles of interpreting features on aerial photographs. The features to be identified in this lab was Tone, Texture, Shape/Size, Shadow, Pattern, Association, and True Color/ False Color. Provided the aerial photos, to identify the features, a point feature class was created for each feature to point out places on the photo that represents that certain feature. Representation of each feature point was defined by differences in symbology or color. Below shows the final product of 2 maps showcasing the identification of different features on two aerial photos. One identifies tone features from very light to very dark and texture features from very fine to very coarse. The other map identifies features for Shape/Size, Shadow, Pattern and Association point feature classes on the aerial photo.

GIS 4035L: Lab 4 - Spatial Enhancement

Image
 For Lab 4, Spatial Enhancement, we looked into learning how to work with Landsat 4-5 data form the official Glovis website and use ERDAS and ArcGIS Pro to run spatial enhancement tools on different image. The first and second exercise involved learning how to download and format data from the Glovis website. The third exercise involves using and manipulating image histograms for the LandSat data. The fourth and fifth exercise includes the use of Spatial Characteristics and Band Ratios to alter the band layers to make certain features pop out more than others. The sixth exercise involved examining the layer information of the image layers while the seventh exercise involved tying in all the exercises to now independently identify features with what was learned. Below shows 3 different maps showing a large river, lake, and snow cover features identified with spatial enhancement.

Week 1- Overview of ArcGIS

Image
For the first week of Intro to GIS lab class, we performed a lab covering the basics of how to navigate through ArcGIS Pro. Learning the basics pf ArcGIS Pro will help in the more complex labs to come in the near future. This lab consist of learning how to prepare, add, and explore data, understanding and using symbolization of data, and how to create and export maps. The map provided shows the finished product of the lab and the population of different world countries. In the weeks to come, different aspects of GIS will be explored and more complex maps we be shown.
