0 likes85 views
The document discusses using a Ricoh Caplio 500SE camera for ground verification applications such as remote sensing classifications, reconnaissance, and time-series analysis. It describes customizing the camera's data dictionary from Excel, modifying hardware settings based on sensors, and the camera automatically embedding metadata in JPG files. Example uses include documenting a 7-day environmental study in Libya by following an IKONOS imagery study area, and a helicopter-based seagrass assessment in Biscayne Bay National Park to identify damaged areas.
Ground Verification using the Richo Capilo 500SE
- 1. Ground Verification using the Ricoh Caplio 500SE Prepared for: South Florida GIS EXPO 2010
- 2. Applications • Remote sensing classifications • Reconnaissance • Reporting • Time-series analysis
- 4. Setup • Data dictionary customization. – Can be imported from excel – Loaded on camera thru SD • Camera Hardware Settings – Modified based on sensors – Imprint/stamp options
- 5. Post Processing Automatically creates metadata and imbeds in JPG file that is read by Ricoh Data Manager
- 6. Equipment • Ricoh Caplio 500SE – GPS Module – Compass Module • Laptop – Ricoh List Editor – Ricoh Data Manager – ArcGIS • Handheld GPS
- 7. Case Study 1 • EBS (Environmental Baseline Study), South Ghadames, Libya. – 7 Day field effort – Dictated by using IKONOS imagery for study area. – Imagery was utilized to determine safe travel routes, location of base-camp, and inventory features of interest for field investigation.
- 8. Case Study 1 • 1,561 photographs
- 9. Case Study 1 • 1,343 km of survey
- 10. Case Study 2 • Seagrass Assessment – Helicopter Over flight – Biscayne Bay National Park – Helicopter based photo documentation to identify areas of seagrass scarring/damage for further assessment and potential mitigation.
- 11. Case Study 2 • Helicopter assessment for broad area to focus field surveys. – Mapping of area and volume of scars and blow-holes for mitigation. – GPS locations and photos give field crews ability to assess damages and prepare for field survey.
- 12. Case Study 2
- 13. Example Datasets • Microsoft Word Document • Microsoft Excel Document • ESRI Shapefile • Google Earth KML • Imprinted photographs
