This report describes part of a comprehensive and continuing program of research in multispectral remote sensing of the environment from-aircraft and satellites and the supporting effort of ground-based researchers in recording, coordinating, and analyzing the data gathered by these means.The basic objective of this program is to improve the utility of remote sensi:R as a tool for providing decision makers with timely and economical information from large geographical areas.The feasibility of using remote sensing techniques to detect and discriminate between objects or conditions at or near the surface of the earth has been demonstrated.Applications in agriculture, urban planning, water quality control, forest management, and other areas have been developed.The thrust of this program is directed toward the development and improvement of advanced remote sensing systems and includes assisting in data collection, processing and analysis, and ground truth verification.
