Remote Sensing Lab

In this exhibit, visitors learn how to interpret remote sensing images by comparing them to a real-world habitat in INFINITY’s backyard.

Through the Remote Sensing Lab Activity, a visitor:

• Learns how to relate living and non-living objects to remotely sensed data.
• Identifies plants’ unique signatures under different wavelengths of energy.
• Learns how remote sensing data are used to study biological issues.
• Collects different remote sensing images of the outside garden.
• Carries out groundtruthing by identifying and labeling specific plants and objects on these remotely sensed images.
• Determines specific characteristics of plants from their remotely sensed data.
