1. Introduction: the evolution

of remote sensing

Needs?

- The exhausting of local and global resources (first: oil)

- Global problems

- The extinction of species

- Club of Rome

Therefore natural resources should be managed, based on exact survey!

Opportunities?

- Space technology

- Sensors

- High speed data transfer

- 1972: launch of the first LANDSAT (ERTS) satellite

- Fast computers with graphical capabilities

- Digital image processing

Remote sensing:

from data acquisition to thematic evaluation

The 3 main

components of remote

sensing system

The parts of optical wavelength interval

2012 February 13 – 2015 January 9

Long-term European programme: Copernicus

…and Sentinel satellites

Sentinel-1A (2014. 04. 03.): weather independent, radar sensor

Sentinel-2A (2015. 06. 23.): high resolution multispectral optical sensor

2. Raw material:

data acquisition and pre-processing

• Passive, reflective systems:

- Sun is the source of electromagnetic (EM) radiation

- Sampling “windows” of the whole EM spectrum

The physical background of remote sensing

Different land covers reflect differently:

- crops, - water, - soil Sensors measure the intensity of electromagnetic

radiation arriving from the Earth’s surface

Spectral response curves

What are the acquisition bands used for?

The diversity of remote sensing - Carrier

- Height

- Time

- Sensors

- Wavelength

Satellites: Geostationary orbit: 36 000 km

(Near) polar orbit: 450-1000 km

Airplanes: 300 m-10 km

Drones: UAV – Unmanned Aerial

Vehicle or RPAS - Remotely

Piloted Aircraft Systems:

30-600 m

Gliders: 100-300 m

Terrestrial observation:

Scanning acquisition:

What does a remote sensing image contain?

Pixels <--> elementary pieces of surface

Band values within a pixel

The main parameters

of remote sensing systems Spatial:

- Spatial coverage

- Ground resolution

Spectral:

- Spectral resolution

- Radiometric resolution

Temporal:

- Temporal resolution (cycle length)

- Other factors: data access (availability, speed, price)

• Basics:

• combination of spatial with

spectral/temporal information

(high res. + AVHRR)

• NOAA AVHRR images

and crop maps =>

crop specific temporal profiles

• Features:

• generic: works for several crops

• year independent

• area independent

• reliable, accurate, timely

Monitoring the impact of waterlog

using satellite image time series

Waterlog maps derived from IRS WIFS

• frequent (3-4 days), good for change detection

• cover the whole country with low cost

• quick processing

5. Education and

university collaboration

• 1983-84: Joint development of a system evaluating satellite images

• 1985-2002: Occasional collaborations, joint publications

• 1999, 2005: Segment-based classification appears in PhD projects

• 2003: The establishment of Faculty of Informatics. Further joint research

projects start

• 2004: The launching of Geospatial Information Systems educational

module. It contains the subject Analysis of Remote Sensing Images

(2+2), maintained jointly by ELTE and FÖMI

• 2006-2011: Twelve students attended at cooperative education in FÖMI

Collaboration in research and education

between ELTE and FÖMI

Education: the course

„Analysis of Remote Sensing Images”

- Started in 2005, 5th year MSc students. The curriculum contains a series

of about 400 slides within 15 lectures.

- Presentation (I. László, FÖMI) includes the theoretical background of

remote sensing (pre-processing, image analysis, statistical classification)

and covers wide variety of practical applications.

- Lab seminars (R. Giachetta, ELTE): students implement programming

tasks in connection with remote sensing (transformations, filtering,

segmentation, clustering, classification).

Innovative benefits of collaboration

- Main contact point: Department of Algorithms and Applications,

István Fekete assoc. prof.

- Joint research, development and educational results

- Students gain insight into current operational applications

- Introduction of new scientific results into projects

- Students may get a professional practice at FÖMI

- Rising generation of highly educated colleagues
