Photo Interpretation and Remote Sensing: Lab 1

Exercise 1: A study of the varying scale of colors and textures found in a panchromatic aerial photograph. 

Exercise 2: A practice in feature identification using shadows, patterns, association, and general shape.

Module 5: Exploring and Manipulating Data

 Module 5: Exploring and Manipulating Data  This module focused on the implementation of cursors and dictionaries within newly created geodatabases. We learned a lot of different functions and techniques applying to geospatial data. The most notable problem I encountered this week was compiling the search cursor queries into one script. One of the steps in the project was to create a Search Cursor for the cities layer to find the Name, Population (POP_2000), and Feature of all County Seat Cities. Initially, I could only get the cursor to run by dividing each of these categories into a separate cursor file, generating a long list of either city names, populations, and features, respectively. This was for all intents and purposes functional, but was practically illegible and a definite eyesore. By trial and error I was able to create separate variables, and vitally separate print row.getValue statements for each of my fields to make the same script generate all inquiries simulta...

GIS internship: Post #4

 GIS Day   This week, our internship cohort was assigned to organize a GIS day celebration to bring people together through shared interest in remote sensing and geo-data. Luckily, I already had something up my sleeve that fit the bill, so I'm wholeheartedly embracing the serendipitous coincidence without any remorse. I joined forces with the GIS staff at my university to put together a drone course on campus, courtesy of the kind folk at Gulf Coast State College (GCSC), with whom we connected via a GIS user's group conference a few months back. This course will teach participants how to collect, manage, process, and interpret a suite of aerial data with the added plus of learning how to fly a drone... very cool stuff. The application of remote sensing capabilities in the GCSC lab is emergency management focused, so we will likely be interpreting data through a public safety lens, which is a very interesting perspective, likely novel to most of us.   The course start...
