In-Depth Information
•
Considering the local neighborhood, discuss what might be an optimal spatial
resolution (pixel size) and which current sensors might provide for such a V-I-S
analysis.
Explain in general how spectral resolution affects detection of various kinds of
•
V, I, and S, and how spatial resolution would relate to such detection.
Sketch typical spectral reflectance curves of V, I, S, and water, across visible,
•
near-infrared, and mid-infrared wave bands.
Explain the spectral change when a green field (A) is converted to a shopping
•
center (B), and place A and B on the V-I-S ternary diagram.
Discuss how ambient air temperatures likely vary with changing V-I-S composi-
•
tion from the urban core to the urban periphery.
Explain how storm water runoff would likely vary from those same sites.
