Satellite Remote Sensing Image

Satellite remote sensing imagery is a 2-dimensional (2D) describing an object from view. Satellite remote sensing imagery depicts part of the Earth's surface that look of a room.

1 Digital and Analog image

The image can take the form of analog or digital. For example, aerial image of analog in the form of a film with a chemical process to get imagery, satellite imagery was obtained from sensors and electronic diporses digitally.  Satellite imagery is printed or hardcopy form may also be referred to as image/analog data.
Remote Sensing Data are not merely as an image, but the image data is stored in a regular grid format commonly referred to as raster data that consists of a line (row) and column (column). One of the smallest element (Figure 7) is named as a pixel (picture element). For each pixel has information coordinates (row and column) and spectral values are converted in the form of numbers, commonly referred to as DN (Digital Number).

1 Pixel

Each pixel represents the area of the surface of the Earth with the intensity and location of addresses in the form of 2-dimensional. Intensity values describing the size of the physical quantity which is the reflection of solar radiation emission or from an object with a specific wavelength that is received by the sensor. As mentioned earlier, the intensity of the pixel values are stored as digital (DN (Digital Number)). DN is stored in bits by a specified amount.

Remote sensing data quality on the main system characteristics are determined by the sensor platform.

Characteristics of the system are usually indicated on sensor platforms:

1. Spectral radiometric resolution or

This resolution is based on each part of the electromagnetic spectrum that is measured and the difference in energy is observed. As an example: Landsat 7 ETM + has 9 channels/band, band 5 and SPOT5 using IKONOS II using 5 band.

2. Spatial Resolution

Spatial resolution is based on the smallest unit a measured object, indicating a minimum size of objects. For example the size of the per pixel to 5 m x 5 m Panchromatic SPOT5 and 2.5 m x 2.5; Multispektral 10 m x 10 m and Landsat 7 ETM Panchromatic + 15 m x 15 m; 30 m x 30 m Multispektral Thermal A and B 60 m x60m; as well as Panchromatic IKONOS II 1 m x 1 m, 4 m x 4 m Multispektral.

  3. Temporal Resolution (Repetition Of The Recording)

Temporal resolution (Revisit time) is the time loop recording data retrieval or on positions of the same object. Landsat 7 ETM + data retrieval or recording done in the position of an object on the same day, IKONOS setiap16 II for 4 days to an upright position and each day can do the recording for its ability to perekeman in obliq position (sideways).

Images: Reflected electromagnetic energy of the Sun of spectral vegetation, soil and water received by sansor satellite.
In Figure 4. demonstrated a reflection curve on the three main objects spectral on the surface of the Earth, i.e. healthy green leafy vegetation, bare ground (grayish brown clay), and crystal clear waters. The line on the curve presents the average reflection curves created with measurement of sample tour of which there are many (Lillesand. 2002). This curve shows an indicator about the type of conditions related to object. Although the object is invidual reflection will differ large above and under average rating, but the curve shows some fundamental points related to the spectral reflection.  Healthy vegetation is green due to the magnitude of the energy absorption in the Green spectrum. If the plants suffered some disruption, and will affect the growth process and production up to par then it would reduce or shut down the production of chlorophyll. As a result of the lack of absorption by chlorophyll in the blue and Red channels. Often reflected on spek .

Sensors and Probes (Flatform) remote sensing Technology

  1. Sensor

 The Sensor is a device used to measure and record electromagnetic energy. In remote sensing, sensor system can be distinguished into two categories: active and passive sensors sensors. Blurb about it, as follows:

  • Passive Sensors

For passive sensors depending on the source of energy from the outside, the Sun. So that remote sensing system passive receiving reflected energy and/or emitted from the Earth's surface. Remote sensing satellite technologies that use sensors with channel looks eye (visible) and infrared.  Camera photography is a passive sensor is the most old and worn. As another example of passive sensor is gamma-ray spectrometer, aerial cameras, video cameras and scanners, thermal and multispektral and sebagainnya

Active Sensor

For active sensors have their own source of energy. Measurement with active sensors more controllable since it does not depend on weather conditions and time.  For example, the sensor is active among other scanner LASER, RADAR altimeter, RADAR Imagery, and so on.

2      2. (Probe) Platform

Vehicle system (platform) remote sensing can be bright in the two systems, the first remote sensing by airborne, i.e. by using the aircraft (aircraft), a hot air balloon, and so on. The second is a remote sensing system and using the system speceborne i.e. using a probe satellite, spacecraft, and sebagainnya.

Energy Electromagnetic Interactions by atmosphere

1. Energy Electromagnetic Interactions by atmosphere

All radiation is detected by satellite remote sensing systems through the atmosphere with a certain distance or path length. Tesebut path length can vary in length. In the photography of the space generated from solar radiation that passes through two thick full-time Earth's atmosphere on its journey from the source of radiation to the sensor. In addition, a thermal sensor which detects the energy emitted by objects on Earth, over a distance in the atmosphere is relatively short. Differences in distance traveled, atmospheric conditions, the wavelength used and the amount of signal energy that affects the sense of total variation in the atmosphere.
Influence of the atmosphere varies greatly depending on the intensity and spectral composition of radiation available to a satellite remote sensing system. This influence is caused by the scattering mechanism (scattering) and absorption (absorption) atmospheric.


Figure 3. Scattering (Scattering) and Resapan (Absorption)


2. Energy Electromagnetic Interactions with Earth's Surface

Energy part of the object on the surface of the earth will be reflected, absorbed, or transmitted by applying the law of conservation of energy. In the law of conservation of energy can be expressed as the reciprocal relationship between the three types of interaction energy, as follows:


E1  (l) = ER (l) + EA +ET (l)



E1 = energy of the object
ER = the reflected energy
EA = energy absorbed
ET = energy of the transmitted

The equation above is an energy balance equation that shows the interrelationships between the mechanisms of reflection, absorption and transmission. From the above equation there are 2 (two) things:
  • Part of the energy reflected, absorbed and transmitted will vary depending on the type of material and conditions of earth objects. Of these differences, allowing us to distinguish different objects in an image.
  • With different wavelengths, for the same object the energy reflected, absorbed and transmitted will likely differ, as a result, these spectral variations will produce a visual effect of color. For example: the object is blue when the object is much to reflect the spectrum of blue, green when many reflect the green spectrum, and so on. So that the visual interpretation by eye can use the spectral variation in the magnitude of the reflected energy to distinguish between different objects.
