GROUND TRUTH REQUIREMENTS FOR REMOTE SENSOR DATA ACQUISITION AND ANALYSIS

OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS AIRBORNE REMOTE SENSOR DEVICES HAVE BEEN DEVLOPED FOR DIFFERENT REGIONS OF THE ELECTROMAGNETIC SPECTRUM THAT ARE CAPABLE OF COLLECTING DATA ON THE REFLECTIVE AND EMISSIVE PROPERTIES OF TERRAIN. DATA COLLECTED WITH AN AIRBORNE ELECTROMAGNETIC SENSING SYSTEM (REMOTE SENSOR) MUST BE AUGMENTED BY DATA THAT DEFINE CONDITIONS EXISTING IN THE ENVIRONMENT AT THE TIME THE REMOTE SENSOR WAS USED. THE REMOTE SENSING DEVICES UTILIZED IN EACH SPECTRAL REGION ARE DISCUSSED AND THE ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS APPRAISED FOR RELATIVE IMPORTANCE WITH RESPECT TO THE FINAL REMOTE SENSING PRODUCT.
