Tutorial: Digital Images and Digital Analysis Techniques

A Basic Course for the Appreciation of Digital Analysis
of Remotely Sensed Multispectral Data

The documents listed below provide a self teaching mechanism for
the student of digital multispectral image analysis. The detailed
step by step instructions and the corresponding figures lead the
reader through some of the basic analysis procedures used in the
study of satellite images for a variety of earth resources
applications. No mathematical ability is required. Using only
pencil (and eraser) the reader is led through steps which mimic the
actions of a computer. Once this exercise is completed, the reader
should have a functional knowledge of the basic multispectral
analysis methods and data presentation formats.

The digital documents are a faithful reproduction of the
original 'Technical Note' published in 1978, with a few adjustments
made to bring it up to date. It has three components:
instructions, exercise forms and
exercise solutions.

Download the documents in the language and format most suitable
for you. They have been prepared for printing on 8.5" x 11"
paper. These documents may be reproduced in whole, for
training and education purposes, but not for commercial
exploitation.

The course is available in 3 languages: English, French and
Portuguese. The files are available to download seperately in
Microsoft Word (ver 6.0) format or Adobe Acrobat format. The "Adobe
Acrobat Reader" is available free of charge.
