10. N C R S T STELLA/STAR 2002-01-17 #10 Early Thinking  RS is not a monolithic solution; many types of imagery  many approaches  No centerline solution is the “right” answer for all needs; each addresses a niche scale rural vs urban  Initial plan: validate RS with GPS

11. N C R S T STELLA/STAR 2002-01-17 #11 Imagery Resources AVIRIS Soft copy photogrammetry Landsat TM Spatial resolution Spectral resolution IKONOS Material classification Edge detection

13. N C R S T STELLA/STAR 2002-01-17 #13 Lessons Learnt  There are many approaches  No RS centerline solution is the answer to all our needs; each addresses a niche  Manual process with some automation, or largely automated process with some user intervention

19. N C R S T STELLA/STAR 2002-01-17 #19 Centerlines from RS — conclusion  RS not a fully automated solution … yet  Augments other methods (e.g. GPS) effectively, esp. visual verification  Good for small areas: 1:5K soft-copy photogrammetry  Good for large areas, 1:50K to 1:100K … global databases, sustainable policy, etc  Research is promising, worth pursuing
