Photointerpretation

Color Separation Images

What is the role of textural information in photointerpretation?

Lighting, viewing geometry, & resolution

Indicates position of sun relative to center of picture

4

?
Absence of contextual clues permits ambiguity

Hill? Or hollow?

?
5

Linear ridge

Expanding the FOV adds contextual information

Impact gouge
Why is one side darker than the other ??

Apollo capsule

Notice the striking similarity in shape:

6

What cues indicate the direction of the sun?

7

Familiar scenes are interpreted more easily

Illuminated DEM

What information is present in a B/W image beyond shape and lighting alone? B/W image

What is this feature?

Mt. Rainier

Surfaces from Lidar Data

1) Canopy Top
(Hillshade + Treeshade)

2) Bare Earth
(Hillshade Only)

3) Tree Height

Approx. Scale (meters)

Photogrammetry
Images are acquired in (x,y) - goal is to measure distances in images and especially to get z. To do this, it is necessary to know how to relate x & y on the photo to position (x,y,z) in the scene

Important spatial properties in images Geometry - simple perspective images - scanner images

Map and simple image geometries

16

Relief displacement

17

Relief displacement geometry

is the relative displacement of topographic features in two images taken from different vantage points.

Perspective projection (framing camera)

1-D perspective projection (scanner)

18

Stereo images

Left image Flight direction

Right image

19

Stereo images and perspective view
