Lab 2 - Visual Interpretation


This week’s lab focused on the elements of aerial photo interpretation.  To accomplish this we viewed two separate photos, then identified various elements within each. 

Map 1 - Comparing tone and texture.

The first map is a study in texture and tones.  We were to identify various tones (ranging from very dark to very light) and various textures (ranging from very fine to very coarse).  I found the tones to be a bit of a challenge, as to me the gradation of very dark to dark was a bit subjective.  Never fear, I was able to tell the basic difference between light and dark!
 
Map 2 - Picking out features based on specific criteria.

The second map required that we identify features within the photo that correspond to a specific criteria: association, shadows, shape and size, and pattern.  It was interesting to see just how many findings based on association I was able to make… I didn’t map all of them in as the assignment only called for two examples, but there are quite a bit as can be seen above.
