WRRCTMR No.18 Methodology in Geographic Applications of Infrared Real-Time Imagery

Abstract

This report illustrates how a relatively small but growing university can engage in research using a remote sensing technique. Much of the equipment used was built or assembled by university personnel. The main effort was to study and develop techniques in geophysioal exploration for water-resources research utilizing the 3 to 5.5 micron band of infrared real-time imagery. The many problems in this technique were identified and feasible ways for future development are suggested. Also outlined are some of the many applications of this research method.
