    The earliest aerial photograph reviewed for Phase I ESA purposes was taken in 1943. The previous alignment of Highway 101, now called Santa Maria Way (or Business U.S. 101), is bordering the site to the west. An unpaved road had been constructed through the southern portion of the site that appears to be the access road to oil well Holmes No. 1, which is just east of the site, connecting it to Highway 101. The unpaved road through the site is looped with what appears to be four round tanks in

  • Rip current analysis

    Multiple satellite methods exist for remote sensing of rip currents each with their own benefits and drawbacks. Photobathymetry, currents interaction using with Synthetic Aperture Radars (SARs), wave refraction, and wave kinematics bathymetry (WKB) are current technologies that are used most often due to the current satellite knowledge. Each of these techniques can be applied using low orbit satellites that are already currently orbiting Earth. All techniques aside from WKB have been tested as satellites

  • Remote Sensing Essay

    Reflected sunlight is the commonest source of radiation measured by passive sensors. Examples of passive remote sensing are film photography, infrared, and radiometers. Active remote sensing :- on the other hand, emits energy so as to scan objects and areas. Where as a sensor then detects and measures the radiation that is reflected or backscattered from the target. RADAR is one

    Inspection of property and surrounding area, examining the historical aerial photographs, databases from federal and regulatory agencies were identified. The Phase I ESA has discovered that there is no evidence of potential environmental contamination associated with the building and/or adjacent properties.

    geodist with the French Academy of Science, had been demonstrated the use of photographs in topographic surveying. This is can be seen in his experiment of researches, kites and balloons were used in photogrammetry for taking aerial photographs. With that, he has been thinking due to difficulties to encounter in obtaining the aerial photographs. So that, he has curtailed area of research and concentrated on mapping with terrestrial

    Many great people have contributed to the development of photogrammetry. From the explanation of mathematical principles, the inventions of camera hardware and constant innovation of data capturing methods, each and every discovery lead to the modern digital photogrammetry that we know today. In order to investigate the history of photogrammetry, one must first define exactly what photogrammetry means. According to the American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing, photogrammetry is the:
