Investigation of Color and Color Infrared Aerial Photographic Techniques for Mining and Reclamation Planning and Monitoring.

摘要

The objectives of this study were the evaluation of the technical and economical feasibility of using color and color infrared aerial photography to satisfy some informational needs for premine planning,mine progress monitoring,and reclamation monitoring. Interpretability accuracies were evaluated for parameters in the broad categories of land use,soils,water,vegetation,and geology. Seasonal interpretation characteristics were noted for infrared photography. Man hours for photointerpretation and costs of aerial data collection were monitored closely and incorporated into a cost benefit analysis.
