2.7. Image Interpretation and Analysis

Try these first

1. 1.

   What does visual interpretation analyze in remote sensing?

   Hint

   Think about the main features you can observe in an image.

2. 2.

   What does NDVI stand for?

   Hint

   Remember the context of measuring vegetation health.

3. 3.

   What technique compares images taken at different times to identify changes?

   • Image Classification
   • Change Detection
   • Visual Interpretation

   Hint

   Think about monitoring landscapes over time.

4. 4.

   True or False: NDVI is a vegetation index that uses visible light only.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Recall the bands mentioned for NDVI.

5. 5.

   Given a satellite image of an urban area, describe how you would conduct visual interpretation, including at least three features you would analyze.

   Hint

   Think about how each characteristic provides insights into land use.

6. 6.

   Design a project utilizing change detection and NDVI to assess the effect of urbanization on local vegetation over five years. Outline the data collection and analysis steps.

   Hint

   Consider what data sources and processing methods you would need.
