Chapter 9 Remotely Sensed Images from Above
For instance, by putting all of the clues together, you could start looking
up large, prominent music museums (with triangular glass structures) and
the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame would be determined in very short order.
9.2 Visual Image Interpretation
1. To examine an image, open the ‘Chapter9’ folder and double-click on
the appropriate image (.jpg) file. Whatever program you have on your
computer for viewing images should open with the image displayed. You
may find it helpful to zoom in on parts of an image as well.
2. For each image, answer the questions presented below, and then explain
which of the elements of visual image interpretation led you to this
conclusion (and how they did). Writing “shadow and shape helped
identify traits of the building” would be unacceptable. However, writing
something that would answer the question “What was so special about
the shadows in the scene or the shape of items that helped?” would be
much better.
3. When identifying the items, be very specific (that is, not just “a baseball
stadium,” but “Progressive Field” in Cleveland, Ohio).
Important note: All images used in this exercise are from areas within the
United States.
4. You may want to consult some outside sources for extra information,
such as Websites, search engines, books, or maps. Lastly, when you
finally think you have the image properly identified, you may want to
use something like Google Earth or Bing Maps to obtain a view of the
object in question to help verify your answer.
