6 Trends Going Forward MDA 2012 Then (1997) Few players; nearly brandnew industry Negatives, hardcopies and light tables ruled Each Landsat image cost $3,000 Now (2014) Many more players but still lots to do It s a digital world Stacks of imagery Landsat is now free! 6
7 Trends Going Forward WorldView DigitalGlobe All rights reserved. RADARSAT-2 Data and Products 2011 MDA. All rights reserved Stereoscope with prints of Landsat and declassified Corona imagery on light table To research characterization methods for ice floe textures, multiple types of imagery were synchronously acquired while a research vessel obtained ground truth photos. Left: Image from a stereopair of DigitalGlobe WorldView 2 imagery Right: Wishart classification of QuadPol RADARSAT More information: Brunke et al - IGARSS, Then Rare Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) No commercial highresolution satellites GPS challenging to use Limited satellite RADAR options Now Multiple Global DEMs different sensors, scales and dates Many options for higher spatial, spectral, & temporal resolutions GPS easy and widely available Multiple RADAR band and polarity choices 7
8 Trends Going Forward Opensourcemaps.com Then Major innovations in image processing, and geolocational accuracy. Professional cartographers used tools like zoom transferscope, exacto knifes, vellum, image paint, etc. Open Street Maps was used by crises responders to tag damaged buildings after the Haiti Earthquakes Now Increasing sophistication in processing and GIS software Opportunities to leverage crowd source data, social media, and open-source GIS for ground truth (with caution). 8
9 Take Away Messages Big picture Develop your geologic skills and stay flexible Remote sensing and GIS are great tools! Day-to-day Use the right imagery and processing for the job Know your data sets benefits and limitations Don t forget RADAR and thermal! Maintain your passion and creativity Left: Landsat GeoCover 2000 Natural color processing Right: Same data after selective masking and MNF processing 9
