16. Abstract
Our September trip to Nicaragua was very helpful to put this investigation
into perspective. 	 Part of the area sampling frame was finished for Nicaragua,
but there are sections of Nicaragua that have no current photography. 	 It is
in these areas where L&NDSAT data could have an impact. 	 To date, no imagery
is available, however, this is the season when it is possible to obtain good
imagery.

The Pacific coast of Nicaragua is the most established and
most populated areas in Nicaragua. In most of this area,
aerial photography is available and current.
From the middle of the country, east to the Atlantic, the
situation is different - less populated, less agriculture,
not photographed, acid changing rapidly. This area is now
important and we do not have imagery. No work will be done
until imagery is available for this area.
We are sfsttin; up a sampling frame in Bolivia and LANDSAT
data is now present. Data will be obtained and used there.
We will report progress of that project if it occurs before
progress on the other project occurs.

16. Abstract
Included in this report is a list of Landsat images of `licarac,-ua, and an eval-
uation of eadi.	 We don't have complete coverage, but it is enough to start.
An analysis plan is specified that will make use of CCI''s. 	 This procedure will
improve an existing area frame.
To use LAVDSAT data only to develop an area frame would require imagery titi'ith
resolution to find field boundaries and small roads.	 This will be difficult
in most areas for Lr NDSAT I or II imagery.

Clouds are still a problem over Nicaragua. To date, no LVIDSAT
imagery has been obtained of the Atlantic coast and only partial frames
are cloud free on the Pacific coast. For this reason we are still
looking for another country to work in.
Other Countries
We are trying to organize a project with AID in another country.
Two possibilities exist - Bolivia and Indonesia.
Bolivia Sias an active Remote Sensing program and AID has a project
there through our office to help build an Area Sampling frame. We will
be contacting Bolivian authorities the week of Septem!)er 20, 1976.
Indonesia has not responded to initial inquiries , so I am not sure that
they are interested.

In addition to the analysis discussed in the last progress report,
we have specific procedures planned.
One initial objective of the study is to obtain land use maps of the 	 IJ
total land area. 11ien, we will break the total land area into small homo-
geneous blocks of land. The small blocks of land are then grouped together
into strata. The blocks that are most alike are put into the same strata and
blocks that are different are put into separate strata.
I.A,Y1 f-)AT will be used to group blocks together that are similar in land
use. Both gray-scaled color en]ianced images and classified L•1.VMAT data
made into an image will be evaluated for this purpose. Tlie differences will
need to be great between Ciese two materials since the classified images will
be considerably more expensive.
Since good boundaries are not visible in LVDS_1T, maps will need to he
used to break the total land area up into small pieces. The two pieces of
information will heed to be the same scale so that they can be overlayed or
a zoom transfer scope can he used.

In-house software programs and documentations are available so that
areas on a map can be digitized and registered to latitude and longitude.
Also, L\NDSAT data can be registered with in-house software to longitude
and latitude. This means that digitized boundaries of fields can be ch urged
to ID coordinates tc be used a, training data.
This entire process is also availa :e on the ARVA ';etwor}: through the
Center for Advanced Computation (CAC) and University of Illinois, Gianiaign-
Urbana. Total documentation is available for that also.
