Stages of the technical approach in applying Photointerpretation and Remote Sensing
Methodology
|
| General approach | |
The photointerpretation and remote sensing technical approach steps are the following, irrespective of the specific view under which the investigation is conducted: |
|
| 1. Recognition of elements, groups of elements, similarities and
differences/ changes, as well as of groups of similarities and differences/changes in the
area under examination, using the photointerpretation and remote sensing methodology’s
supporting material (maps, statistical and other ancillary information). 2. Analysis of these similarities and differences/changes, establishment of their relationship and interactions and evaluation of their importance. 3. Correlation with the environment, using photointerpretation keys and results of field control/ technical samplings by logical or automated procedure. 4. Classification of similarities and differences, following the appropriate specifications imposed in each case, by visual or automated procedures and their necessary combinations to integrate and synthesize partial approaches. 5. Evaluation and characterization of the findings related to the specific sets of data which have been promptly recognized or constitute possible alternative solutions. 6. Feedback: findings resulting from the previous stages are used to improve the final results by repeating the stages of the technical approach. |
