Introduction to remote sensing md. yousuf gaziMd. Yousuf Gazi
Remote sensing is defined as obtaining information about an object through analysis of sensor data without direct contact. The document traces the history of remote sensing from Galileo's telescope in 1609 to current technologies. It describes various remote sensing systems, platforms, components, resolutions, and sensors used today.
The document discusses image classification methods. It describes image classification as sorting pixels into categories based on their spectral response across image bands. It outlines two general approaches: unsupervised classification which identifies spectrally similar groups of pixels without prior land cover knowledge, and supervised classification which uses known training areas to classify pixels. The key steps of unsupervised classification are determining a scheme, clustering pixels into spectral classes using algorithms like ISODATA, and assigning classes to land covers. Supervised classification relies on training areas of known land covers to generate signatures for classification of other pixels.
Thermal infrared remote sensing md. yousuf gaziMd. Yousuf Gazi
Thermal infrared remote sensing detects thermal infrared radiation emitted from objects based on their temperature. All objects emit thermal infrared radiation, but the human eye cannot detect it. Satellite-based thermal infrared sensors measure sea surface temperature by detecting this thermal radiation, providing a global view of SST patterns and changes. SST measured from space corresponds to the temperature of the thin surface "skin" layer rather than temperatures at depth, and satellite SST data helps monitor climate change indicators over the oceans.
Seismology is the study of earthquakes and how seismic waves propagate through the Earth. Studying earthquakes provides clues about the Earth's interior and allows us to minimize earthquake damage. Earthquakes are caused by the sudden release of accumulated stress in rocks along faults. Seismic waves from earthquakes are recorded by instruments around the world and used to determine the earthquake location and magnitude.
The document discusses key concepts in geodesy and GIS, including:
1) Geodesy involves measuring and representing the shape and elements of the Earth, which GIS utilizes through data sources like satellites and GPS.
2) A mathematical ellipsoid model of the Earth is used, which has parameters like semi-major and semi-minor axes that account for the Earth's flattening.
3) Reference ellipsoids and datums like WGS84 provide the basis for accurately defining location coordinates in GIS.

Geophysical surveys use physical methods at the Earth's surface to measure subsurface physical properties and anomalies. Types of geophysical surveys include gravity, magnetic, electrical, seismic, radiometric, and geothermal methods. The gravity method measures minute variations in gravity caused by differences in subsurface density and distance from the Earth's center. Gravity surveys can be aerial or land-based, using a highly sensitive gravimeter. Processed gravity data is plotted on maps showing variations due to subsurface densities, and is used for hydrocarbon exploration, mineral deposits, cavity detection, and other applications.

A geophysicist conducts seismic surveys using energy sources and geophones to collect and interpret data on subsurface structures. They use computer technology to process and visualize seismic data to find oil, gas, water, and other resources. Geophysics students gain experience through field trips and field schools. Geophysicists and technologists are employed by the petroleum industry, engineering companies, mining companies, universities, and governments.
Role of Geophysics in the Oil and Gas IndustryMusisi Norbert
Geophysics plays an important role in the oil and gas industry by using non-invasive methods to investigate subsurface conditions. Various geophysical survey methods measure physical properties of the subsurface to aid in exploration, mapping resources, and identifying geohazards. Planning geophysical surveys requires selecting the appropriate methods, equipment, and acquisition parameters to meet project objectives and site conditions. Acquired data then undergoes processing and interpretation to develop an understanding of the subsurface.
This document discusses reservoir geophysics and geology. It begins with an introduction to geophysics, noting that most rocks are opaque so geophysics uses physics to obtain "geophysical images" of the subsurface based on properties like density, magnetism, conductivity, and velocity. It discusses using natural fields like gravity and magnetics to measure subsurface variations at a regional scale. Later sections discuss seismic reflection methods, potential field applications in mapping geology, and benefits of 3D seismic over 2D in providing better geological models.

A basic introduction to available geophysical test methods for the use of Geotechnical engineers presented at the USACE Infrastructure Conference in Atlanta, June 2011.
This document provides an overview of geophysics and its various applications. It discusses how geophysics studies the physics of the Earth and its atmosphere. Key methods described include seismic reflection and refraction techniques to map subsurface structures. These methods make use of the travel times of seismic waves to determine depths and detect features like faults and folds. The document also outlines how geophysics has various applications in mineral and oil/gas exploration to locate deposits and structures below the surface using physical property measurements.
Airborne gravity anomaly over Delta State in the Niger delta basin of Nigeria has been interpreted to obtain the structural trends/types and depth to basement in the state. The residual gravity anomaly obtained from a second order polynomial operation on the observed field data was enhanced by a first order filtering operation based on the regional geology. This was converted to a gridded data and analyzed qualitatively to reveal NS and EW trending subsurface structures. Inverse and forward modeling using Oasis Montaj software were applied to selected portions using geological models of sphere and dyke to reveal syncline and anticline structures at depths of between 2005 m to 7372 m, with density contrast of between 1.12 gcm-3 and 2.70 gcm-3. The Euler deconvolution operation with a structural index of one, reveal depths between 124.2 to 16,000 m. The results show that the maximum depth to basement in the area occurs in the northern part of the state with maximum depth of 16,000 m.
Gravity and magnetic methods are an essential part of oil exploration. They do not replace seismic. Rather, they add to it. Despite being comparatively low-resolution, they have some very big advantages.
These geophysical methods passively measure natural variations in the earth’s gravity and magnetic fields over a map area and then try to relate these variations to geologic features in the subsurface. Lacking a controlled source, such surveys are usually environmentally unobjectionable.
First Observation of the Earth’s Permanent FreeOscillation s on Ocean Bottom ...Sérgio Sacani
The Earth’s hum is the permanent free oscillations of the Earth recorded in the absence ofearthquakes, at periods above 30 s. We present the first observations of its fundamental spheroidaleigenmodes on broadband ocean bottom seismometers (OBSs) in the Indian Ocean. At the ocean bottom,the effects of ocean infragravity waves (compliance) and seafloor currents (tilt) overshadow the hum. In ourexperiment, data are also affected by electronic glitches. We remove these signals from the seismic traceby subtracting average glitch signals; performing a linear regression; and using frequency-dependentresponse functions between pressure, horizontal, and vertical seismic components. This reduces the longperiod noise on the OBS to the level of a good land station. Finally, by windowing the autocorrelation toinclude only the direct arrival, the first and second orbits around the Earth, and by calculating its Fouriertransform, we clearly observe the eigenmodes at the ocean bottom.

This document discusses using Love waves in active Multichannel Analysis of Surface Waves (MASW) surveys to improve data quality. It proposes recording both left and right polarized Love waves in addition to Rayleigh waves. The polarization of Love waves could help quality control data collection. Stacking the polarized Love waves in the phase velocity domain may enhance the dispersion image compared to using Rayleigh waves alone. The paper aims to test this approach on a field site and compare the shear wave velocity profiles obtained from inverting Love wave and Rayleigh wave dispersion data. References are provided on research related to improving MASW surveys through better handling of higher surface wave modes.
This document describes how multichannel analysis of surface waves (MASW) was used to map variations in bedrock and detect potential fractures at a site in Olathe, Kansas where industrial contaminants may have leaked. MASW data was acquired along linear profiles using standard seismic acquisition techniques. Analysis of surface wave dispersion characteristics generated a 2D shear wave velocity model that accurately mapped the bedrock surface between 6-23 feet deep and identified potential fracture zones in the bedrock. The high resolution shear wave velocity model provided essential information for characterizing subsurface fluid flow at the contaminated site.

Geospatial Data Acquisition Using Unmanned Aerial SystemsIEREK Press
The Rivers State University campus in Portharcourt is one of the university campuses in the city of Portharcourt,
Nigeria covering over 21 square kilometers and housing a variety of academic, residential, administrative and other
support buildings. The University Campus has seen significant transformation in recent years, including the
rehabilitation of old facilities, the construction of new academic facilities and the most recent update on the creation
of new collages, faculties and departments. The current view of the transformations done within the University
Campus is missing from several available maps of the university. Numerous facilities have been constructed on the
University Campus that are not represented on these maps as well as the qualities associated with these facilities.
Existing information on the various landscapes on the map is outdated and it needs to be streamlined in light of
recent changes to the University's facilities and departments. This research article aims to demonstrate the
effectiveness of unmanned aerial systems (UAS) in geospatial data collection for physical planning and mapping of
infrastructures at the Rivers State University Port Harcourt campus by developing a UAS-based digital map and
tour guide for RSU's main campus covering all collages, faculties and departments and this offers visitors, staff and
students with location and attribute information within the campus.
Methodologically, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles were deployed to obtain current visible images of the campus
following the growth and increasing infrastructural development. At a flying height of 76.2m (250 ft), a DJI
Phantom 4 Pro UAS equipped with a 20-megapixel visible camera was flown around the campus, generating
imagery with 1.69cm spatial resolution per pixel. To obtain 3D modeling capabilities, visible imagery was acquired
using the flight-planning software DroneDeploy with a near nadir angle and 75 percent front and side overlap.
Vertical positions were linked to the World Geodetic System 1984 and horizontal positions to the 1984 World
Geodetic Datum universal transverse Mercator (UTM) (WGS 84). To match the UAS data, GCPs were transformed
to UTM zone 32 north.
Finally, dense point clouds, DSM, and an orthomosaic which is a geometrically corrected aerial image that provides
an accurate representation of an area and can be used to determine true distances, were among the UAS-derived
deliverables.
This document provides information about an advanced surveying course. The course aims to teach students to apply geometric principles to solve surveying problems, use modern instruments to obtain and analyze geospatial data, analyze geodetic data to solve survey problems, integrate surveying with geospatial tools, and evaluate different land and satellite survey methods. The course outcomes and program outcomes are also listed, covering topics like engineering knowledge, problem analysis, design skills, investigation skills, tool usage, societal and environmental awareness, ethics, teamwork, communication, project management, and lifelong learning.
1. Modern surveying utilizes various technologies such as GPS, GIS, remote sensing, laser scanning, drones, and total stations to more accurately and efficiently capture spatial data.
2. GPS uses satellites to determine location, GIS integrates spatial data for analysis and visualization, and remote sensing collects data from aircraft or satellites.
3. Laser scanning and drones can survey complex areas by capturing millions of data points from different angles, while total stations combine distance and angle measurements. These technologies have improved surveying accuracy and reduced costs and environmental impacts.
This document describes an open-source 3D solar radiation model called SURFSUN3D that has been integrated with a 3D Geographic Information System (GIS) to allow for interactive assessment of photovoltaic potential in urban areas. The model transforms 3D building surfaces into 2D raster maps to allow for conventional GIS solar radiation calculations on a cell-by-cell basis. It has been validated against a commercial solar modeling software and tested on a 3D model of Boston, demonstrating its ability to calculate solar radiation for selected buildings and surfaces and visualize the results.
Digital elevation models (DEMs) contain elevation point data over a contiguous area and can represent bare earth surfaces (digital terrain models) or elevations of all landscape features, including vegetation and structures (digital surface models). Light detection and ranging (LiDAR) is one of four major technologies used to obtain high-resolution elevation data and create DEMs, along with in situ surveying, photogrammetry, and interferometric synthetic aperture radar. LiDAR uses laser scanners mounted to terrestrial, airborne, or spaceborne platforms to measure elevations of the terrain and return precise three-dimensional location data.
Image interpretation keys and resolutions are essential for remote sensing. There are several keys that aid visual interpretation including tone, size, shape, texture, pattern, location, association, shadow and site. Higher image resolution means more discernible details, with pixel resolution referring to image size in pixels and spatial resolution depending on ground sample distance. Other types of resolutions include spectral, temporal, and radiometric resolutions which influence how finely differences can be distinguished.
Pathways, Perception and the development of PlacePaul Cripps
The document discusses using computational approaches to model movement and perception in prehistoric landscapes. It summarizes previous work using visibility analysis and identifies limitations in only using static viewsheds. The proposed approach integrates 2D GIS analysis, 3D visualization tools, and image analysis to model landscape perception and movement as humans interacted dynamically with their environment over time. The goal is a holistic investigation of how understanding of landscape was constructed through these interactions.
Image Denoising Based On Wavelet for Satellite Imagery: A ReviewIJMER
In this paper studied the use of wavelet and their family to denoising images. Satellite images
are extensively used in the field of RS and GIS for land possession, mapping use for planning and
decision support. As of many Satellite image having common problem i.e. noise which hold unwanted
information in an images. Different types of noise are addressing different techniques to denoising
remotely sense images. Noise within the remote sensing images identifying and denoising them is big
challenge before the researcher. Therefore we review wavelet for denoising of the remote sensing
images. Thus implementing wavelet is essential to get much higher quality denoising image. However,
they are usually too computationally demanding. In order to reduce the
This document provides an overview of geospatial technology and its applications.

Applications of remote sensing in geological aspectsPramoda Raj
Remote sensing uses sensors on airborne or spaceborne platforms to detect and record electromagnetic radiation from the Earth's surface. It has two main phases - data acquisition through sensors and data analysis. In geology, remote sensing is used to map lithology, structural features, and monitor hazards. It helps identify rock types and structures that can indicate mineral or oil and gas deposits. Remote sensing provides synoptic data to study geomorphology, hydrology, and other Earth processes over large areas.
Remote sensing uses sensors on airborne or spaceborne platforms to detect and record electromagnetic radiation from objects. It has two main phases - data acquisition through sensors and data analysis. In geology, remote sensing is used to map lithology, structures, and monitor hazards. It helps identify rock types and map faults, which aids mineral and hydrocarbon exploration. Structural lineaments identified from remote sensing help locate ore deposits. Remote sensing also assists with geological mapping, geomorphology studies, hydrology monitoring, and other environmental applications.
APPLICATION OF REMOTE SENSING AND GIS IN AGRICULTURELagnajeetRoy
India is a country that depends on agriculture. Today in this era of technological supremacy, agriculture is also using different new technologies like some robotic machinery to remote sensing and Geographical Information System (GIS) for the betterment of agriculture. It is easy to get the information about that area where human cannot check the condition everyday and help in gathering the data with the help of remote sensing. Whereas GIS helps in preparation of map that shows an accurate representation of data we get through remote sensing. From disease estimation to stress factor due to water, from ground water quality index to acreage estimation in various way agriculture is being profited by the application of remote sensing and GIS in agriculture. The applications of those software or techniques are very new to the agriculture domain still much more exploration is needed in this part. New software’s are developing in different parts of the world and remote sensing. Today farmers understand the beneficiaries of these kinds of techniques to the farm field which help in increasing productivity that will help future generation as technology is hype in traditional system of farming.
A geographic information system (GIS) is a computer-based tool for collecting, storing, analyzing and displaying spatial or geographic data. It integrates technologies like remote sensing, database management systems and computer-aided design. GIS helps solve geographic problems by allowing users to view, understand, question, interpret, and visualize data in many ways to reveal relationships, patterns, and trends. Examples of GIS applications include risk assessment, transportation systems, infrastructure planning, and natural resource management.
The document lists various applications of geographic information systems (GIS) across multiple domains including urban planning, environmental sciences, political science, civil engineering, business, education administration, real estate, and health care. Specifically, it outlines how GIS can be used for tasks such as zoning, land acquisition, economic development, environmental monitoring and modeling, election analysis, infrastructure coordination, market analysis, attendance boundaries, and epidemiology.
This document discusses using GIS software to identify the shortest and most economical route for a national highway alignment between Palani and Erode in Tamil Nadu, India. It considers factors like land use, geology, land value, and soil type by assigning weights and ranks to each theme. The themes are then overlaid in GIS to identify the most suitable highway alignment area. Conventional manual methods for route selection were difficult, time-consuming, and expensive compared to the proposed GIS-based approach.
4.[23 28]image denoising using digital image curveletAlexander Decker
This document summarizes research on using curvelet transforms for image denoising. It begins with an introduction to wavelet denoising and its limitations in capturing edges. Curvelet transforms are proposed to overcome these limitations by providing directional selectivity and anisotropic elements that better represent curved edges. The document then describes steps to denoise an image using curvelet transforms, including adding noise, applying the curvelet transform, and calculating performance metrics like PSNR and MSE. It provides details on the curvelet transform and compares it to ridgelet transforms. The research aims to exhibit higher PSNR than wavelet methods across different noise levels on standard test images like Lenna.

Coastal biodiversity is under threat from human activities like habitat destruction, pollution, overfishing, and climate change. The document discusses how coastal ecosystems like mangroves and coral reefs have high biodiversity but are being degraded. Bangladesh has many endangered coastal and marine species as well as economically important fisheries that are declining due to threats. Initiatives are underway in Bangladesh to better understand and protect coastal biodiversity through community-based management, conservation programs, and integrated policy efforts.
The document discusses various aspects of coastal engineering. It describes coastal engineering as the application of engineering principles to systems functioning in water environments like oceans, lakes and rivers. It then discusses different types of coastal structures used for purposes like protecting infrastructure from flooding, stabilizing shorelines, and facilitating navigation. These include soft structures like beachfills and hard structures like seawalls, breakwaters and jetties. The document provides examples and diagrams of some commonly used coastal structures.
The document discusses various coastal economic resources in Bangladesh, including heavy mineral deposits found along beaches, offshore petroleum exploration in the Bay of Bengal, marine fisheries resources, agriculture in coastal regions, salt production, forestry including mangrove forests, and tourism attractions along the coast. Seventeen placer deposits of heavy minerals have been found along beaches, while offshore petroleum exploration has identified gas reserves but continued challenges. Coastal economic activities also include marine fisheries, agriculture, salt production, forestry, and developing tourism.
The document discusses coastal vulnerability and hazard mitigation. It describes assessing vulnerability through risk analysis, interacting with local governments, involving the insurance industry, training on mitigation techniques, developing regional atlases, and holding workshops. Methods are presented for identifying hazards, analyzing risks, assessing critical facilities and societal, economic and environmental impacts, and identifying mitigation opportunities. Coastal monitoring using buoys is discussed. The Coastal Vulnerability Index is calculated and saltwater intrusion in aquifers is modeled using the GALDIT method.
The document discusses coastal processes and landforms. It describes how coastal areas are shaped by erosion and deposition from waves, tides and currents. Sediment is transported through processes like longshore drift and deposited in beaches, bars and spits. Coastal landforms like cliffs, caves and stacks are formed by erosive forces, while sheltered areas experience deposition and the growth of features like beaches. Managing coastal change requires understanding these dynamic sediment movements and landform developments.
Coastal env. impact assessment md. yousuf gaziMd. Yousuf Gazi
Environmental impact assessment (EIA) is used to assess development projects and maximize positive impacts while minimizing negative impacts on communities and the environment. The EIA guidelines aim to increase coastal tourism sector understanding of EIA, promote best practices, encourage compliance with EIA frameworks, and support sustainable coastal tourism development that protects environmental, social, and cultural assets. Coastal development for tourism has benefits but also risks such as damage to ecosystems, impacts on species, and pollution.
Coastal hazards can be categorized as either rapid-onset hazards like storms and flooding, or slow-onset hazards such as shoreline erosion, sea level rise, and saltwater intrusion. Rapid-onset hazards are fast moving while slow-onset hazards occur gradually over time. Coastal communities are vulnerable to these hazards, which can be exacerbated by population density, building design, and environmental factors. Understanding hazards, vulnerability, coping capacity, and risk is essential for assessing disaster occurrence and impact.
Integrated coastal zone management md. yousuf gaziMd. Yousuf Gazi
Bangladesh has over 734 km of coastline along the Bay of Bengal with a population of around 50 million people living in the coastal zone. The coastline is difficult with many rivers and is affected by natural hazards like cyclones. The coastal zone is classified into interior and exterior coasts and three regions: eastern, central, and western. Integrated coastal zone management (ICZM) aims to balance environmental, economic, and social concerns through a coordinated management process. ICZM in Bangladesh focuses on managing coastal resources and people sustainably while addressing issues like population growth, infrastructure needs, and environmental challenges.
The document discusses tectonic plates and plate tectonics. It describes tectonic plates as massive slabs of solid rock that make up the Earth's crust and move in different directions. This movement causes plates to collide, separate, or scrape past each other, forming different landforms at the plate boundaries. The three main types of plate boundaries are divergent boundaries where plates separate, convergent boundaries where they collide, and transform boundaries where they slide past each other.
Mountain building & volcanism md. yousuf gaziMd. Yousuf Gazi
The document discusses volcanism and the different types of volcanoes. It describes how volcanoes are formed from magma rising up through the crust and extruding onto the surface. There are several types of volcanoes that differ in shape and composition, including shield volcanoes, cinder cones, and composite volcanoes. The document also examines the various products of volcanic eruptions like lava flows, pyroclastics, and volcanic gases. Furthermore, it outlines different styles of volcanic eruptions and how mountains can be formed through volcanic activity at places like rift zones, hot spots, and subduction zones.
This document outlines the course outline, schedule, and description for a Geology 1 course. The course will cover concepts of geology including the Earth's structure and composition, geological processes, geological time and the geological time scale, fossils, and the evolution of life. It will also cover mineralogy, the study of mineral properties and classification, and petrology, the study of rock structures, textures, compositions, and classifications. The course will include 10 lectures covering topics like geological processes, earthquakes, fossils, mountain building, and igneous and metamorphic rocks.
The document discusses the geological time scale and major mass extinctions that have occurred throughout history. It describes how time is divided into eons, eras, periods, and epochs. Five major mass extinctions are outlined, including the Ordovician-Silurian, Late Devonian, Permian-Triassic, End Triassic, and Cretaceous-Tertiary extinctions. Each mass extinction significantly reduced marine and land animal populations due to events like asteroid impacts, volcanic eruptions, and climate change.
The document discusses various geological processes that shape the Earth's surface. It describes two main types of geological processes - endogenetic processes that occur inside the Earth's crust like earthquakes and volcanoes, and exogenetic processes like weathering and erosion that occur at the Earth's surface. Weathering is further explained as the breakdown of rocks through physical or chemical means. The key agents that cause weathering are frost action, crystal growth in cracks, and chemical reactions with oxygen, water and carbon dioxide.
The document discusses the layers that make up the Earth's interior. It is divided into four main layers from the surface down: the crust, mantle, outer core, and inner core. The crust is separated into oceanic and continental crust, with the continental crust being on average thicker. Below the crust is the mantle, made of silicate rock and divided into the upper and lower mantle. The outer core is liquid iron and nickel, while the inner core is solid. Information about the layers comes from seismic wave analysis, volcanic materials, drilling, and laboratory experiments.
The document outlines several basic principles and laws of geology, including:
1. Neptunism and plutonism, which are opposing theories on the formation of rocks.
2. Uniformitarianism, the principle that geological processes have remained consistent over time.
3. Laws established by Nicolaus Steno on the ordering and orientation of rock layers.
4. Additional principles on cross-cutting relationships, inclusions, and faunal succession.
GEOLOGICAL AND GEOPHYSICAL OBSERVATIONS TO DETERMINE THE GAS SEEPAGE SOURCE O...Md. Yousuf Gazi
Titas Gas Field, the largest gas field in Bangladesh, has been encountering gas seepages in numerous points at the surface in an area of about 7 sq. km. at the southeastern part of the field since 2006. Gas has been seeping through the water wells, small and large holes in the fields including agricultural lands, in the river and through the cracks in the ground. The present research attempts to point out the source of the gas seepages based on the field studies, wireline log analyses and other available borehole data. A reconnaissance resistivity survey has been carried out around the high seepages area to detect any evidence of shallow subsurface fault. No fault was detected by resistivity survey in the shallow depth in the seepage area and thus fault as a conduit for the seepage could not be confirmed. Primarily, all wells of Titas Well Location (TWL-C) (Titas-06, 08, 09 and 10) were suspected as possible source wells as the surface distribution of seepages generally clusters around TWL-C. Titas-06 and Titas-08 were taken out of suspect list as the gas seepage distributions do not follow well path and cement bonding against reservoir sands including ‘A’ sand in these two wells are also good. Gas seepages follow the well trajectories of Titas-09 and 10 wells but cement bonding against ‘A’ gas sand in Titas-09 also discarded the well as a probable source of the gas seepage. Also, the suggestion that Titas well-03 could be a source of gas seep is also ruled out because of the fact that it is located 3 km away from the seepage area, there is no evidence of any seepage in between the well 3 and the seepage area, and the gas sands are also well protected. The above evidences turned the whole focus onto Titas-10. Gamma ray, resistivity, density, sonic and neutron log signatures recorded initially in the Titas-10 well strongly indicated a major gas sand and has been designated ‘A1’ gas sand. On the basis of various logs including CBL/VDL log it is evident that about 23 meters (3157-3180-meter MD) gas sand at the top which is not protected by cement. It is most likely source of gas seeps in Titas gas field is the gap in the cement protection at the top of A sand in Titas-10 well
Geodesy is the science of measuring and understanding the Earth. It involves determining the size, shape, and gravitational and magnetic fields of the Earth. Geodesy uses measurements from satellites, GPS, and fieldwork to model the Earth as a flattened ellipsoid with parameters like semi-major and semi-minor axes. An accurate mathematical model of the ellipsoid is needed for scientific and practical applications involving the representation of the Earth's shape.
SILT CONTENT APPROXIMATION OF NEOGENE SURMA GROUP MUDROCKS, SITAKUND ANTICLIN...Md. Yousuf Gazi
Petrography of the Neogene mudrocks in this study incorporates laser particle size
analysis, thin sections and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Ten representative
mudrock samples were collected from outcrops of the Sitakund structure. From the
studies, it is evident that mudrocks of Sitakund structure are characteristically silty. The
silt content, as estimated by laser grain size analysis, of the mudrocks ranges from 39 to
77% with average of 58%. Significant amount of granular silt with the platy clay
minerals is also evident from the SEM micrographs. The silts are mainly quartz, feldspar
and micas. The high silt content in the Neogene mudrocks implies an enormous flux of
silty sediments with a very high rate of sedimentation allowing little time for a more
selective sorting. This supports the geologic history that the uplifting and erosion of
Himalaya was at the peak during Miocene and the Ganges mega delta received highest
rate of sedimentation and growth rendering shale consistently silty.

2. Outlines:
• Introduction
• Visual Image interpretation
• Digital Image processing
- Image pre-processing
- Image enhancement and transformations
Md. Yousuf Gazi, Lecturer, Department of Geology, University of Dhaka (yousuf.geo@du.ac.bd)
3. Introduction
• Interpretation and analysis of remote
sensing imagery involves the
identification and/or measurement of
various targets in an image in order to
extract useful information about them.
- Targets may be a point, line, or area
feature. This means that they can have
any form, from a bus in a parking lot or
plane on a runway, to a bridge or
roadway, to a large expanse of water or a
field.
Md. Yousuf Gazi, Lecturer, Department of Geology, University of Dhaka (yousuf.geo@du.ac.bd)
4. • Much interpretation and identification of
targets in remote sensing imagery is
performed manually or visually, i.e. by a
human interpreter.
• When remote sensing data are available in
digital format, digital processing and
analysis may be performed using a
computer.
Md. Yousuf Gazi, Lecturer, Department of Geology, University of Dhaka (yousuf.geo@du.ac.bd)
5. Visual Interpretation
• Recognizing targets is the key to
interpretation and information
extraction.
• Observing the differences between
targets and their backgrounds
involves comparing different
targets based on any, or all, of the
visual elements of tone, shape,
size, pattern, texture, shadow,
and association.
Md. Yousuf Gazi, Lecturer, Department of Geology, University of Dhaka (yousuf.geo@du.ac.bd)
6. Tone
• Tone refers to the relative brightness or
color of objects in an image. Generally, tone
is the fundamental element for
distinguishing between different targets or
features.
• Variations in tone also allows the elements
of shape, texture, and pattern of objects to
be distinguished.
Md. Yousuf Gazi, Lecturer, Department of Geology, University of Dhaka (yousuf.geo@du.ac.bd)
7. Shape
• Shape refers to the general form, structure, or
outline of individual objects.
• Shape can be a very distinctive clue for
interpretation.
• Straight edge shapes typically represent urban or
agricultural (field) targets, while natural features,
such as forest edges, are generally more irregular in
shape, except where man has created a road or clear
cuts.
• Farm or crop land irrigated by rotating sprinkler
systems would appear as circular shapes.
Md. Yousuf Gazi, Lecturer, Department of Geology, University of Dhaka (yousuf.geo@du.ac.bd)
8. Size
• Size of objects in an image is a function of scale.
• It is important to assess the size of a target relative
to other objects in a scene, as well as the absolute
size, to aid in the interpretation of that target.
• A quick approximation of target size can direct
interpretation to an appropriate result more
quickly.
Md. Yousuf Gazi, Lecturer, Department of Geology, University of Dhaka (yousuf.geo@du.ac.bd)
9. Pattern
• Pattern refers to the spatial arrangement
of visibly discernible objects.
• Typically an orderly repetition of similar
tones and textures will produce a distinctive
and ultimately recognizable pattern.
• Orchards with evenly spaced trees, and urban
streets with regularly spaced houses are good
examples of pattern.
Md. Yousuf Gazi, Lecturer, Department of Geology, University of Dhaka (yousuf.geo@du.ac.bd)
10. Texture
• Texture refers to the arrangement and frequency of
tonal variation in particular areas of an image.
• Rough textures would consist of a mottled tone where
the grey levels change abruptly in a small area, whereas
smooth textures would have very little tonal variation.
• Smooth textures are most often the result of uniform,
even surfaces, such as fields, asphalt, or grasslands.
• A target with a rough surface and irregular structure,
such as a forest canopy, results in a rough textured
appearance.
•
• Texture is one of the most important elements for
distinguishing features in radar imagery.
Md. Yousuf Gazi, Lecturer, Department of Geology, University of Dhaka (yousuf.geo@du.ac.bd)
11. Shadow
• Shadow is also helpful in interpretation as it may
provide an idea of the profile and relative height of
a target or targets which may make identification
easier.
• However, shadows can also reduce or eliminate
interpretation in their area of influence, since targets
within shadows are much less (or not at all) discernible
from their surroundings.
• Shadow is also useful for enhancing or identifying
topography and landforms, particularly in radar
imagery.
Md. Yousuf Gazi, Lecturer, Department of Geology, University of Dhaka (yousuf.geo@du.ac.bd)
12. Association
• Association takes into account the relationship between other
recognizable objects or features in proximity to the target of
interest.
• The identification of features that one would expect to
associate with other features may provide information to
facilitate identification.
• In the example given above, commercial properties may be
associated with proximity to major transportation routes,
whereas residential areas would be associated with
schools, playgrounds, and sports fields.
• In our example, a lake is associated with boats, a marina,
and adjacent recreational land.
Md. Yousuf Gazi, Lecturer, Department of Geology, University of Dhaka (yousuf.geo@du.ac.bd)
13. Md. Yousuf Gazi, Lecturer, Department of Geology, University of Dhaka (yousuf.geo@du.ac.bd)
14. Digital Image processing
▪ Pre-processing
• Error correction
- Radiometric corrections
- Geometric corrections
Md. Yousuf Gazi, Lecturer, Department of Geology, University of Dhaka (yousuf.geo@du.ac.bd)
15. Sources of Radiometric Distortion
▪ When image data is recorded by sensors on satellites and aircraft
it can contain errors in geometry and in the measured
brightness values of the pixels can result from the effect of the
atmosphere.
▪ Absorption by atmospheric molecules is a selective process that
converts incoming energy into heat. In particular, molecules of
oxygen, carbon dioxide, ozone and water attenuate the radiation
very strongly in certain wavebands.
▪ Scattering by atmospheric particles is then the dominant
mechanism that leads to radiometric distortion in image data.
▪ Transmittance. In the absence of atmosphere, transmittance is
100%. However because of scattering and absorption not all of
the available solar irradiance reaches the ground.
▪ Sky irradiance. Because the radiation is scattered on its travel
down through the atmosphere a particular pixel will be irradiated
both by energy on the direct path in Fig. and also by energy
scattered from atmospheric constituents. A pixel can also receive
some energy that has been reflected from surrounding pixels and
then, by atmospheric scattering, is again directed downwards.
▪ Path radiance. Again because of scattering alone, radiation can
reach the sensor from adjacent pixels and also via diffuse
scattering of the incoming radiation that is actually scattered
towards the sensor by the atmospheric constituents before it
reaches the ground.
Md. Yousuf Gazi, Lecturer, Department of Geology, University of Dhaka (yousuf.geo@du.ac.bd)
16. Sources of Geometric Distortion
• There are potentially many more sources of geometric
distortion of image data than radiometric distortion and
their effects are more severe. They can be related to a
number of factors, including
(i) the rotation of the earth during image acquisition,
(ii) The relative motions of the platform, its scanners and
the earth
(iii) the wide field of view of some sensors,
(iv) the curvature of the earth,
(v) sensor non-idealities,
(vi) uncontrolled variations in the position and attitude
of the remote sensing platform
(vii) panoramic effects related to the imaging geometry.
Md. Yousuf Gazi, Lecturer, Department of Geology, University of Dhaka (yousuf.geo@du.ac.bd)
17. Atmospheric Corrections
• Effects of Scattering (wavelength)
– Mie Scattering
– Rayleigh Scattering
• Effect of Haze
– Usually over large cities/Industrial Complexes
– Combination scattering and absorption
• Both sensor error and haze correcting programs are in-built
most IP software
• Special programs are built to correct atmospheric effect with
some user inputs
Md. Yousuf Gazi, Lecturer, Department of Geology, University of Dhaka (yousuf.geo@du.ac.bd)
18. Radiometric Correction
• Relative Correction between image set using
one image as the reference
– Dark Pixel method
– PIFs (Pseudo Invariant Features)
• Absolute Correction converts DN values to
percent reflectance
– requires atmospheric corrections
– Sensor calibration
– Observation geometry
Md. Yousuf Gazi, Lecturer, Department of Geology, University of Dhaka (yousuf.geo@du.ac.bd)
19. Panoramic Distortion
pθ = βh sec2θ = p sec2θ
Md. Yousuf Gazi, Lecturer, Department of Geology, University of Dhaka (yousuf.geo@du.ac.bd)
20. Earth Curvature
Md. Yousuf Gazi, Lecturer, Department of Geology, University of Dhaka (yousuf.geo@du.ac.bd)
Earth rotation effects
21. Geometric Correction
• These images have to corrected to produce accurate
Maps and GIS layers
• Corrections are done against reference Ground Control
Points collected from
– Existing Maps with known accuracy
– Existing Georeferenced images
– GPS/DGPS data
• Mathematical transformation is done to change the
image’s geometric co-ordinates to the reference co-
ordinates
Md. Yousuf Gazi, Lecturer, Department of Geology, University of Dhaka (yousuf.geo@du.ac.bd)
Methods of Geometric correction:
1.Using satellite header file (satellite
onboard GPS)
2.Image to image registration
3.Image to map registration
4.Manually entered GCPs (Ground
Control Points)
22. Geometric Correction
• Also known as Georectification, Georeferencing, Co-
registration
• Images from the older sensors do not have any map
information. They are aligned along the satellite
orbit
• Images from recent sensors are delivered with some
workable geometric corrections
Md. Yousuf Gazi, Lecturer, Department of Geology, University of Dhaka (yousuf.geo@du.ac.bd)
23. Sensor Errors
• Line Dropouts
– Values from Adjacent lines are used
• Pixel Dropouts
– Values from Adjacent pixels are used
• De-Striping
– Fourier and Inverse Fourier analysis
Md. Yousuf Gazi, Lecturer, Department of Geology, University of Dhaka (yousuf.geo@du.ac.bd)
24. Image Enhancement
• The objective of the second group of image
processing functions grouped under the term of
image enhancement, is solely to improve the
appearance of the imagery to assist in visual
interpretation and analysis.
• Examples of enhancement functions include
contrast stretching to increase the tonal
distinction between various features in a scene,
and spatial filtering to enhance (or suppress)
specific spatial patterns in an image.
Md. Yousuf Gazi, Lecturer, Department of Geology, University of Dhaka (yousuf.geo@du.ac.bd)
25. Image Enhancement
• Some are considered pre-processing and some
are hard to categorize
• Contrast, Color manipulations and Filtering are
definitely pre-processing
• Resolution Merging, Image Fusion, Band
Ratioing (indices), and Principal Component
Analysis (PCA) can also fall under information
Extraction
Md. Yousuf Gazi, Lecturer, Department of Geology, University of Dhaka (yousuf.geo@du.ac.bd)
26. Contrast Manipulations
• Stretching a part of the Histogram to
enhance certain features. Various ways of
doing it
• Thresholding
• Level Slicing

27. • Linear Contrast Stretch: This involves identifying
lower and upper bounds from the histogram (usually
the minimum and maximum brightness values in the
image) and applying a transformation to stretch this
range to fill the full range.
• Equalized Contrast Stretch: This stretch assigns more
display values (range) to the frequently occurring
portions of the histogram. In this way, the detail in
these areas will be better enhanced relative to those
areas of the original histogram where values occur less
frequently.
• The linear contrast stretch enhances the contrast in the
image with light toned areas appearing lighter and dark
areas appearing darker, making visual interpretation
much easier. This example illustrates the increase in
contrast in an image before (left) and after (right) a
linear contrast stretch.

28. Convolution Filtering
• Low Pass- A low-pass filter is designed to emphasize
larger, homogeneous areas of similar tone and reduce
the smaller detail in an image. Thus, low-pass filters
generally serve to smooth the appearance of an
image.
• High Pass- do the opposite and serve to sharpen the
appearance of fine detail in an image,
• Directional Filters- Directional, or edge detection
filters are designed to highlight linear features, such
as roads or field boundaries.
• Edge enhance
• Edge detect

29. Resolution Merge & Image Fusion
• High resolution pan images merged with Low resolution
multispectrals
• Brovey method:
- Brovey, is also called the color normalization transform
because it involves a red-green-blue (RGB) color transform
method. The Brovey transformation was developed to avoid
the disadvantages of the multiplicative method.
- The formulae used for the Brovey transform can be described
as follows
- Red = (band1/Σ band n)∗ High Resolution Band
- Green = (band2/Σ band n)∗ High Resolution Band
- Blue = (band3/Σ band n)∗ High Resolution Band
- High resolution band = PAN band .
- Multiplicative method
- Principal Component method
- Optical images fused with Radar images

30. Principal Component Analysis
• Image data in different bands
are highly correlated and
therefore redundant
• PCA reduces these
Redundancy by reprojecting
the Data in different Axes
• New bands of data are
created
• Data is in the earlier bands,
noises later
• Can be subjected to further
analysis

Original DN Values Transformed DNs and PC Axis
DNpc = a11DNA+a12 DNB
31. Band or Spectral Ratioing
• Compensates for brightness variation in scene
(shadowed vs. illuminated area)
• Very useful in vegetation studies specially in
differentiating stress
– Simple Ratio
– Vegetation Index
– Normalized Difference Vegetation Index
Md. Yousuf Gazi, Lecturer, Department of Geology, University of Dhaka (yousuf.geo@du.ac.bd)
32. Vegetation Indices
• Simple Ratio – NIR/Red band
– High reflection from Chlorophyll in NIR
and absorption in Red allows
identification
– High values are healthy vegetation
• NDVI allows –
– Net production calculation
– Monitor Phenological patterns
– Length of Growing season
NDVI =
NIR − red
NIR + red

33. Other Ratios in ERDAS Imagine
• Mostly for Vegetation and Minerals
• Vegetation Index – NIR-Red
• Iron Oxide – Red/Blue
• Clay Minerals – Landsat Band 5/7
• Ferrous Minerals - Landsat Band 5/4
• For other sensors not supported by ERDAS write custom
models

34. Other Image Transformations
• Textural; Rough or smooth
– Segment and classify based on Texture
• Tasseled Cap
– Alters data structure axes to match viewing
axes for vegetation, soil and water
• RGB-IHS Transformation
– Transform color to Intensity, Hue & Saturation
• Decorrelation Stretch
– for highly correlated data saturation is
exaggerated along PC axes
