  • What components are relevant in the measurement phase?

    - The source of the EM radiation
    - The path trough the atmosphere
    - The interaction with the object
    - The recording of the radiation by a sensor
  • What components are covered by the second phase?

    - Tranmission, reception and (pre)processing of the recorded radiation
    - Interpretation and analysis of the remote sensing data
    - Creation of the final product, which is mostly stored as a GIS layer
  • How can scattering effects be divided?

    - Rayleigh scattering
    - Mie scattering
    - Non-selective scattering
  • What can happen when EM radiation hits an object at the earth's surface?

    - Transmitted
    - Absorbed
    - Reflected
  • Which properties permit the observation and recognition of an object?

    - Shape and size of the object
    - Reflective and/or emissive properties
    - Spectral properties
    - The effects of polarisation
    - Temporal effects
  • Where are pre-processing operations intended for?

    - To correct for sensor- and platform- specific radiometric and geometric distortions of data
  • Which three categories of data can be derived from remote sensing?

    - The assignment of class labels to the individuel pixels or objets in an image, called classification
    - The estimation of object properties from remote sensing
    - The monitoring of the class labels or tje object properties with time
  • How can information about the earth's surface and its features by obtained on basis of?

    - Spectral charasteristics
    - Spatial charasteristics
    - Temperal charasteristics
  • 2 Spectral signatures

  • Which approaches are there to determine the reflectance?

    - Dividing the reflected radiation (Lr) by the incoming radiation (Li) for a certain wavelength or wavelength interval (usually with field radiometers)
    - Comparing the reflected radiation from an unknown object with that from a reference of which we know the reflectance properties (with airborne or spaceborn sensors)
    - Model the incoming radiation and atmospheric effects
  • What are the three regions of the electromagnetic spectrum?

    - VIS
    - NIR
    - MIR/SWIR
