Ground Truth Analysis using Google Earth - Is it possible?

Image
Hello friends, I Know that the topic (Ground Truth Analysis using Google Earth) is bit wired. Before that we have to  understand what is ground truth verification. Ground truth verification is process through which physical verification or field visit to region, for checking  level accuracy which is analysed in satellite image is same as the real world information. Now lets discuss the process using google earth, so most of the image analyst use Erdas Imagine for classification Land-use and Land-cover and etc. In this case the satellite imagery are 30m in resolution that not really  accurate. Now there's option to synchronize your satellite imagery with google earth  through which we can identify the feature in the satellite image through google earth up-to significant level.  This is really useful in saving your time, energy and cost reduction by more accurate visual ground truth analysis. In the above video tutorial the steps have...

Sentinel 2 VS Landsat 8: A Resolution Analysis

Image
Hello Everyone, For doing any Spatial Analysis resolution is dominant x-factor. This because of the clear visualization of features on the ground for identification, understanding, nature and accuracy. In this analysis comparative study was performed using sentinel 2 and Landsat 8 imagery. Both Imagery have difference of size, Sentinel 2 imagery package size up-to 700 MB and  Landsat 8 package is around 900 MB - this significant for downloading. Coming to resolution the Sentinel Imagery shoots-out at 10 meter resolution and Landsat 8  at 30 meter resolution, If enhanced using resolution merge (panchromatic band) it 15 meters. Please check the below video for detail visualization of difference:  Youtube   Sentinel and Landsat 8 is provided with 12 bands and 11 bands respectively.  In the above video, comparison of the imagery is shown using few example like identification of urban feature, agriculture fields, settlements and v...
