Survey of resampling techniques using MSS and synthetic imagery
Brian P. Bauer
1980, Report
The objective of this survey is to investigate the methods of interpolation and deconvolution for image restoration The methods evaluated are nearest neighbor, bilinear interpolation, cubic convolution, and two-dimensional deconvolution. The effects of these restoration methods are demonstrated using Landsat multispectral scanner (MSS) data and synthetic imagery. The effect of these...

Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
1980, Report
The Earth Resources Observation Systems (EROS) Data Center, located in Sioux Falls, SD, is a data management, systems development, and research field center of the U.S. Geological Survey's National Mapping Division. The Center was established in the early 1970's to receive, process, and distribute data from National Aeronautics and Space...

Heat Capacity Mapping Mission (HCMM) thermal surface water mapping and its correlation to Landsat
Alden P. Colvocoresses
1980, Open-File Report 80-265
The Heat Capacity Mapping Mission (HCMM) involves a relatively simple satellite recording the radiation from the Earth in the thermal band (10.5 to 12.5 μm) using an instantaneous field-of-view (IFOV, "footprint" or pixel) of 600 x 600 m. The enclosed graphics illustrate HCMM thermal mapping of water bodies as applied...
Evaluating methods for determining water use in the High Plains in parts of Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, New Mexico, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas, and Wyoming, 1979
Frederick J. Heimes, Richard R. Luckey
1980, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-111
The volume and areal distribution of ground-water withdrawals (pumpage) for irrigation during 1980 are required for the High Plains Regional Aquifer-System Analysis. In 1979, approaches and instrumentation that might be suitable for application to 1980 water-use determinations were tested. Pumpage was sampled by monitoring time of operation and discharge of...
Evaluation of remote hydrologic data-acquisition systems, west-central Florida
J.F. Turner Jr., W. M. Woodham
1980, Water-Resources Investigations Report 79-102
The study provides an evaluation of the hydrologic applications of a land-line and two satellite data-relay systems operated during 1977-78 in the Southwest Florida Water Management District. These systems were tested to evaluate operational and reliability characteristics. Telephone lines were used to relay data in the land-line system, and the...

A survey of image processing developments in support of remote sensing
Brian P. Bauer
1980, Report
New algorithm developments for image processing (IP) will occur throughout the 1980's, resulting from evolution in computer hardware and sensors as well as continuing research. This report will describe the areas of algorithm development that are occurring in applications, research, and operational environments. Included is an overview of image processing...

1980, Sixth Annual Pecora Symposium and Exposition 106-107
One of the most important contributions that remote sensing can make to mineral energy explorations to provide data from satellites to augment regional geological mapping. Geologic maps, which show information on the subsurface, are the main basis for formulating models of resource genesis that guide exploration. However, conventional...

Measurement pertaining to geology, geochemistry, and geophysics of the Cement oil field, Oklahoma, test site were collected employing both airborne sensors and ground-based data collection. The measurements include: (1) airborne gamma-ray spectrometry (supplying bismuth 214, thalium 208, and potassium 40 gamma-ray intensities); (2) aeromagnetic survey data; (3) multi-frequency airborne resistivity...

1980, Sixth Annual Pecora Symposium and Exposition 49-51
Color-ratio composite images of Landsat MSS (multi-spectral scanner) bands have been used by other workers to map the distribution of limonitic rocks in semi-arid and arid areas as possible indicators of hydrothermal alteration (Rowan et al, 1974). The images are particularly useful for broad overviews, but detailed analysis at...
