Test 2

• Radar system characteristics and the characteristics of the surface


  1. Magnitude or intensity of backscattered energy is dependent on

  2. Radar system characteristics (frequency, polarization, viewing geometry, etc.)

  3. Surface characteristics (landcover type, topography, relief, etc.)

  4. Many characteristics are interrelated, so it is impossible to separate out each of their individual contributions to the appearance of features in a radar image
• Hyperspectral remote sensing image


  Multi-spectral or have many spectral bands
• Hyperspectral sensing

  • Allows "Mineral Mapping", the non-invasive identification and mapping of rock, regolith and alteration mineralogy using the principles of spectroscopy
  • Well advanced in Australia as a result of tailoring remote sensing to the specific needs of the mining industry through more than 20 years of successful pre-competitive research between the CSIRO and industry
• Passive and active microwave remote sensing
