Basic of image interpretation

There are various ways are available for image interpretation those are given in following paragraphs

Image composition , characteristics of visible imagery, characteristics of infrared imagery, enhancement of infrared imagery, water vapor imagery, errors in satellite imagery, cloud displacement, limb darkening, instrument response delay time etc

There are other imagery softwares are also available giving facility to locate graphical features like - island water features , terrain features, urban heat islands, detecting snow cover etc

Locating Geographical features

Internet for image gathering

Computer Technology is one of the cheapest methods for gathering satellite data for analysis; due to increase of more telecommunication systems it has helped to analysis and gather scientific data

Internet has given a new way to explore, collaborate and distribute scientific data. Many scientists, researchers and educators are coming together to exchange data and information while computers are connected by telephone lines

Anyone who can access computers, telephone lines and modem can able to access satellite images which are distributed at hundreds of locations on the internet

Overview: Microsoft Virtual Earth is a relatively new framework of technology, which allows the users to develop highly interactive online Geo-mapping solutions for example the popular Live Search Maps powered by none other than Virtual Earth. The Microsoft Virtual Earth technology set is based on the modern concept of building highly interactive Internet application. This application should be media rich and appealing to the users.

The terminology known as umbrella RIA used to identify this concept is interpreted by the other IT communities as Rich Internet Application. Both the definitions given are appropriate in all the angles and terms. The main Idea behind Rich Internet Application is to bridge the Gap between Web-based counterparts and Desktop applications. In the terms of reactivity, responsiveness and overall User experience.

Virtual Earth and Map point Web service provide location data for a wide range of countries about the world. The age and facet of map tiles differ depending on availability of data. Individual services, such as bird’s eye view, have more inadequate coverage areas. Microsoft strives to provide the latest available information within Virtual Earth and Map Point Web Service. For most of the countries the map interpretations can be accessed by the agency of Map Point Web service.

Earth Exploring software is changing the ways to browse and explorer geographic information. They are quickly adapted to the technology and recognize many aspects to how to collect, analyze and share their data for making new discoveries.

Every data collected and observed will be integrated with GIS system, it will be sending to the server for data mining purposes. Global demand for geographic data has increased concern among many companies , so they are exploring their workflow and developing many strategies to explorer many aspects of geographic data.

Earth Explorer is a earth tracking software through, you visits many places for the example rocks, mountains volcanoes etc. It provides an interactive way to Trace earth is various locations. It not only provides a virtual journey of the earth’s locations but also it provide thrilling experience while visiting it.

Technical info, data and image sources :

By default the World Wind download comes only with the public domain imagery from the USGS and Landsat 7 but now the community members have made available the images for New Zealand and New York plus additional countries are also present with the Microsoft Virtual data. Note that all these images are available for non-commercial purposes.

This is basically a web mapping service provided by as a part of Microsoft’s Windows Live online applications services which is powered by Microsoft’s “Virtual Earth”.

Street Maps:

Detailed Street maps are available for many cities worldwide. Amazingly, the features like hospitals, stadiums, Metro stations and other facilities also appear on the map. The users can also see the directions of roads and streets. Search available is of a wide spectrum type which can search for people, location or street, a business category, or even search for people.

Latest improvements of servir ‘viz include some additional functionality along with bug fixing. Some of the improvements like WMS identification tool through user get information about any attribute. It is based on Nasa‘s world wind version 1.4. It has auto update feature so each file updated automatically while working, updated GEOSS image overlay that provide more accurate overlays when view is used, it has scientific visualization studio so user will able to see lights at night.

some of the features that improved in servir viz are plug-in Movie recorder has been removed, plug in KML importer added.

Scientific information visualization is a branch of computer graphics and user interface which is dedicated to present information in a user friendly format

This information usually in the form of images. The goal of this branch is to give more understanding about data being presented in a image format.

This can be understand by the fact when scientists interpret potentially huge quantities of simulated data and get result from sensors to aid hypothesis and build cognition.
