A methodology for measuring photo interpretation performance from a single glance at a novel scene is presented. Subjects attempted to detect the presence or absence of a target. object, specified in advance by the object's name, from a cued position in a 150-ms flash of a line drawing of a real-world scene. The cue, a dot, was presented immediately after the presentation of the scene, so that ...

In this paper an approach towards the automatic olive tree extraction from satellite imagery is presented. Counting olive trees in specific agriculture areas is crucial for the European Union olive production subsidies. Still counting and verification of each producer’s subsidy are based on standard photointerpretation methods or semi automatic techniques. In this paper an image processing sche...

The current standard methods for determination of seagrass status and trends involve mapping from 1:24,000 scale true color, not color infrared, aerial photography (NOAA-CSC 2001). Analysis of this scale color photography for seagrass distribution has traditionally been performed by photointerpretation of 9” x 9” positive phototransparencies, followed by digitization of seagrass polygons from m...

Remote sensing techniques and spatial data analysis through Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have been jointly applied in a mineral exploration context to identify gold-rich potential areas in SE Spain. Results conŽ rm the usefulness of this integrated methodological approach as an eVective tool to assess mineral potential in the studied region. Satellite and airborne image analysis have oV...

Techniques to classify and map Tasmania’s native forests by stereoscopic interpretation of aerial photographs were developed in the late 1940s to facilitate systematic forest management. Completion of statewide map coverage was achieved in 1996 after considerable evolution of interpretation and mapping methods. Current photointerpretation (PI) typing procedures and coding standards are describe...

Background and Purpose: The main goal of this paper was to highlight the importance of colour infrared (CIR) aerial photographs for efficient inventory, monitoring and predicting the health status of forests in changed site conditions. CIR aerial photographs from two aerial surveys conducted in 1989 and 2008 were used to identify and analyze the damage in lowland pedunculated oak (Quercus robur...
