ERTS-1 Analysis in the/Monterey Bay Area, using digital tapes.
Earth Satellite Corporation and the IBM Corporation have been
performing experimental crop classification in the San Joaquin Valley
using wholly digital processing of MSS bulk imagery. The main
analytical tool for this work has been the computer programs developed
by the Laboratory for Applications of Remote Sensing at Purdue
University. 
Initial crop classification was based upon an inspection of
computer-generated shade prints of MSS data taken by the ERTS-1
Spacecraft on July 25, 1972. Results of multi-spectral analysis
performed on the basis of the initial classification have been compared
with aircraft overflights and ground truth analysis of selected
agricultural areas of the San Joaquin Valley. Preliminary results are
encouraging. They suggest that elementary crop classification might be
possible using ERTS MSS data with little prior ground truth information.
Slides are shown of the computer-generated classification, the
aircraft overflights, the ground truth analysis and the relevant ERTS
sub-image. Intensity shade prints of the area.are also shown. Con- /
tinuing analysis is proceeding, to substantiate these: initial- conclusions.
