Multispectral Remote Sensing Data in Python


Section Five - Multispectral Remote Sensing Data in Python

In section four of this textbook, you will learn how to work with multispectral remote sensing data in Python, including National Agricultural Imagery Program (NAIP), Landsat, and MODIS.

Learning Objectives

After completing this section of the textbook, you will be able to:

  • Describe at least 3 differences between NAIP, Landsat, and MODIS imagery, in terms of how the data are collected, how frequently they are collected and the spatial and spectral resolution.
  • Plot and analyze these data in Python.
