GIS 4035 Module 2 Lab: Visual Interpretation

The first lab was a great way to introduce the fundamentals of photo interpretation. We were able to work on a couple of exercises to learn the basics of interpreting features on aerial photographs. The goal of the first exercise was to determine the differences of tones and textures. First we identified  5 tones in the photograph ranging from very light to very dark. Then we were able to identify 5 textures of the photograph ranging from very fine to very coarse. Identifying features was the goal of the second lab. We were able to identify features based on shape and size, shadows, patterns, and associations.

This was an awesome lab to get familiar with photo interpretation. Learning some of these new techniques were really eye opening. I never thought much of using shadows to determine objects in a photo before. I am looking forward to picking up new tricks along the way.
