An Evaluation of Airborne Sensors for Site Selection Engineering Data Requirements.
Abstract
The report describes the data acquisition and evaluation of several remote sensors over three types of environment for engineering terrain data used in site selection. Extensive field and airborne data were collected at each of three sites in Texas, Louisiana, and New Mexico. The sensors used for data collection were metric photography, multiband photography, infrared scanner (8 to 14 microns), laser terrain profiler, airdroppable penettometer, and gamma-ray spectrometer. Several operational modes were used and are described. The analyses are summarized in sections by Texas Instruments, Inc., Sandia Laboratories, and University of New Mexico, CERF. Recommendations for a site selection system of sensors are made. (Author)
