    Abstract:
    Abstract Inland wetland in a portion of the Savannah River swamp forest were mapped with an overall accuracy of 88.5% on April 26, 1985 using high resolution aircraft Daedalus AADS‐1268 multispectral scanner (MSS) data. In addition, light detecting and ranging (LIDAR) data were acquired using a National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) sensor system flown along two flight lines over the Steel Creek Delta. The LIDAR data were significantly con‐elated (R2=0.988 at the 0.0001 level of confidence) with in situ tree height measurements. The LIDAR data were registered to the wetland classification map and correlated. Statistical analyses demonstrated that the laser derived canopy height information was significantly associated with the Steel Creek Delta wetland classes encountered along the LIDAR transect (an F‐value of 58.46 at the 0.0001 level of confidence). The relationship between vegetation height and vegetation type was then used to produce a three‐dimensional model of the landscape which can be of value when computing biomass or canopy density in this forested wetland environment.

    Abstract Abstract Band ratios, indices and radiance in the four channels of the Multi-spectral Scanner (MSS) on the Landsat-4 satellite for October 1984 and March 1985 were correlated with mean tree parameters of teak plantations (age, mean tree height, mean tree diameter at breast height, mean canopy diameter, mean canopy volume). The Landsat MSS data for March (when teak trees are leafless) were more suitable than the Landsat MSS data for October for categorizing tree parameters.

    Mineralogic Information from a New Airborne Thermal Infrared Multispectral Scanner

    A new six-channel aircraft multispectral scanner has been developed to exploit mineral signature information at wavelengths between 8 and 12 micrometers. Preliminary results show that igneous rock units can be identified from their free silica content, and that carbonate as well as clay-bearing units are readily separable on the digitally processed images.
