Remotely Sensed (RS) Data
An increasingly important source of information for use with GIS is digital
remotely sensed data from satellite and airborne sensors. Sensors such as
the Landsat Thematic Mapper and the Calibrated Airborne Multispectral Scanner
provide a means of collecting data about the landscape in areas which are
not easily accessible. Because of their synoptic view of the landscape, they
often provide a more economical means of data collection than other methods.
By analyzing this imagery, our scientists extract important information about
surface and subsurface features. Typical GIS and remote sensing services
that Summit provides include:
- GIS database design and development
- GIS model design and development
- Real-Time display of site conditions using Summit's
RealFlow® system
- Digital image processing
- Aerial photo interpretation
