Thermal & Multispectral Analysis

Photo Interpretation & Remote Sensing - Mod 8

This week's assignment was to use image manipulation and interpretation techniques to identify a feature from an image using the thermal infrared band as part of the analysis.  The selection was made in Erdas Imagine using the TM Thermal Infrared Composite band combination of red for the thermal layer Band 6, green for Band 3 and blue for Band 2.  In ArcMap the same image was symbolized with a composite combination of red for Band 1, green for Band 2 and blue for Band 3 for a more real world image, which made the feature clearer and more easily identified as an airport.  The coordinate for this feature are 30° 28' 34.8306' N, 86° 31' 7.3224' W and allowed it to be identified as Destin - Ft. Walton Beach Airport (VPS) in northwest Florida.
