Photo Interpretation and Remote Sensing Module 3

During this week's module we learned more about remote sensing. We got into a good amount of detail regarding the properties of Electromagnetic Radiation (EMR). We had a few math exercises where we determined energy levels, frequency and wavelengths of different EMR sources. 

For our lab assignment we started to explore and practice using ERDAS Imagine. ERDAS Imagine is software that helps extract different data from imagery. In our case we were exploring how to use ERDAS Imagine for remotely sensed data. We got to go over some basic operation such as loading data, manipulating data and preparing and exporting data from ERDAS Imagine to ArcPro. We extracted some data from provided imagery that contained land cover data that was classified in ERDAS Imagine. The extracted data was transferred to ArcPro where we created a simple map. The map I created is below. The map depicts land cover within a small portion of land within Western Washington State.
