LSO5830 - Remote Sensing Applied to Soils and Survey

Credit hours

Instructor
Jose Alexandre Melo Dematte

Objective
Study the soils through modern techniques of geoprocessing and remote sensing. The basic objective is to provide the student with an understanding of the relationships between physical-chemical and mineralogical characteristics with their reflected electromagnetic energy. The spatial distribution of soils and their attributes through geoprocessing is also evaluated. Topics such as: Pedological photointerpretation in its descriptive and quantitative aspects, analysis of orbital and radar images, planialtimetric charts, field and laboratory spectral radiometry, soil factors influencing spectral data, geographic information system, use of land, survey and interpretation of soil maps. These topics aim at the improvement in the study of soils through non conventional techniques aiming at its characterization and agronomic importance.

Content
General basis: Soil formation processes, soil profile, morphological characteristics, analytical determinations, relief position, soil classification. Soil survey and mapping, base maps used, aerial photographs, orbital images, radar images, planialtimetric charts. Sequence of work for making the map of soils by the conventional method. General interpretation for agricultural use. Relationship between landscape X soil X aerial photographs X mapping. Advantages and disadvantages of using aerial photos in a survey, catena and toposequence concepts and their importance in the delimitation of soils, concepts of aspects observed in aerial photographs and relationships with genesis, mapping techniques using aerial photos. Sequence mapping of soils using aerial photographs. Remote Sensing and geoprocessing: basic concepts. Levels of data acquisition. Pedological photointerpretation: soil survey methods using aerial photos, elements used in photopedology, application of the qualitative and quantitative study in the study and soil survey, drainage patterns of the main types of soils. Correlation between the orbital and terrestrial levels (field and laboratory). Image processing systems and geographic information systems, and their applications in the evaluation of soils for surveying and management purposes. Perspectives on the use of orbital images in the study of soils. Spectral behavior of soils. Use of images in soil mapping at qualitative and quantitative level. Reflectance concept and its relation in the study of soils. Radiometry: Reflectance of targets. Basic concepts. Use of radiometry in the laboratory and field in the study of soils. Geometry to obtain spectral data at the laboratory level. Most used sensors, general characteristics. Detailed study of the spectral curves. Types of curves, relation with the attributes of the soils. Qualitative and quantitative analysis. Soil discrimination by the use of spectral data. Soil factors that influence reflectance.
