Aerial Panel .002" on a photo

Aerial taking pictures or measurements of the ground

Photogrammetry surface from a camera located on a plane

Principal Point The photographic center of a photo

Nadir The point vertically below the camera center

Isocenter The point midway between the principle point and

the nadir
Endlap Each photo overlaps the other end to end 60%

Sidelap each photo overlaps the other by 30-60% on the

sides

Fiducial Marks Marks located on a photo to find the principal point

AOI Area of interest. the part of an image that is of

interest

Bands area of the electromagnetic spectrum collected by

a sensor

Bit Depth value that a single pixel can contain

Spectral Classification based on the color of items being

Classification classified

Supervised Manually done classifying using polygons to pick

Classification areas of interest

Datums a three dimensional model of a reference surface

DEM Digital Elevation Model. a file with X, Y, Z values

over a grid for terrain modeling.

DOQQ Digital Orthophoto Quarter Quad. an orthophoto

that covers a quarter of a 7 1/2 minute quad.

Electromagnetic The entire frequency of electromagnetic waves

Spectrum

Ellipsoids The equipotential representation of the earth's

surface at sea level

GCP Ground control points. used in making orthophotos.

Geoid The equipotential representation of Earth's mean

sea surface. irregular. the equipotential surface that
would coincide with the average sea level

Georeference relating data to an established coordinates system

LANDSAT good for large regional boundaries. low spatial

resolution means soil can be seen as vegetation

Leaf Additive Measurement of biomass density. The denser the

biomass, the more the near infrared light is bounced
 biomass, the more the near infrared light is bounced
Reflectance
back.

LIDAR Uses lasers to measure the distance to the ground.

Light Detection and Ranging. up to 5 returns from a
single pulse. larger pulse number= lower energy. up
to 200,000 pulses per second.

LUT Look up Table. An array of data found on the

computer. can be modified

Model the way photos are lined up to analyze them

Neat Model the area in the overlap where measurements are

limited to minimize distortion

NAD27 North American Datum 1927. Handmade

NAD83 North American Datum 1983. Made by a computer.

Parallax The apparent shift of a single object

Photobase The distance between the principal point and

conjugate prinicpal point

Projection a two dimensional representation of a datum or 3

dimensional object.

Reflectance in leaves, when drier=more reflectance. when wet

there is less reflectance due to the water absorbing
the light.

Relief Displacement The apparent lean of an object away from the nadir.

Remote Sensing Measuring objects by a recording device that is not

in contact with the object,

Spatial Resolution The smallest dimension/object that can be

distinguished

Spectral Resolution sensitivity to specific wavelengths

Temporal Resolution The amount of time between measurements

USGS Unites States Geologic Survey. responsible for

making topographic quadrangle maps.
WGS84 Used for GPS. default datum for GPS

Photo Interpretation -Horizontal Location, Size, Shape, Texture, Pattern,

Color/Tone, Aspect, Shadow, Height, Depth, Slope,
Site, Situation, Association
