Med ett blikk

Remote sensing uses satellite/drone imagery to observe Earth. Analyze multispectral data (bands beyond visible light) to detect vegetation (NDVI), water, urban growth, crops. Mastery takes 3-4 months. Mid-level practitioners earn 15-20% premium for specialized domain. Skill adjacent to image processing, machine learning, and climate science.

Hva er GIS Remote Sensing Imagery

Remote sensing is the science of acquiring information about objects/areas without touching them. Use satellite or drone imagery to observe Earth. Analyze spectral bands (light at different wavelengths) to derive information: vegetation health, water bodies, urban extent, land cover. Applications: agriculture (crop monitoring, yield prediction), forestry (deforestation, fire risk), coastal management (erosion, pollution), disaster response (earthquake damage, floods).

❓ Ofte stilte spørsmål

▶What's the difference between multispectral and hyperspectral?
Multispectral: 3-10 bands (e.g., red, green, blue, near-infrared). Hyperspectral: 100+ bands (detailed spectral signature). Multispectral cheaper, adequate for most tasks. Hyperspectral more detailed but data-heavy.
▶What's NDVI and why is it useful?
NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) = (NIR - Red) / (NIR + Red). Measures greenness/vegetation. Values -1 to +1; high = healthy vegetation, low = barren. Used to monitor crops, forests, drought.
▶How often does satellite imagery update?
Depends on satellite. Landsat: 16 days. Sentinel-2: 5 days (10m resolution). Commercial satellites (Planet, MAXAR): daily or sub-daily but expensive. Google Earth Engine has free historical archives.
▶Can I detect change over time?
Yes. Compare images from two dates. Calculate difference or ratio. Example: NDVI in July vs August shows crop growth. Identify deforestation, urban expansion, disaster damage.
▶How do I classify land cover (forest, water, urban)?
Use supervised classification: label training samples (this pixel is forest), train model (Random Forest, SVM, deep learning), classify entire image. Accuracy 80-95% depending on method and data.
▶What's the spatial resolution of satellite imagery?
Landsat: 30m per pixel. Sentinel-2: 10m (visible), 20m (vegetation). WorldView: 0.5m (very high resolution). Finer resolution = more detail but larger files, more expensive.
