Visual Interpretation

This week kicked off the first of my assignments for Remote Sensing and Aerial Photography. We conducted several exercises to get us thinking and practicing visual interpretation of aerial imagery. These included assessing the tone and texture of an image, identifying features using various methods, and comparing standard color imagery with false infrared color. Below are two of the maps I made.

In this exercise, we assessed an image to label various tones from very dark to very light, as well as various textures including very coarse to very fine. We selected areas representing each and created polygons to show this.

In this exercise, we inspected an image to find various features using their shape/size, shadow, pattern, or association to determine what the object is. We created points for the objects and labelled them to show what they are and how we determined this.
