Satellite images draw Kansas' land
Mention satellite images and most people think of espionage or the Weather Channel. But a group of KU scientists is creating a vital map of Kansas from such pictures, and it could even end up in your apartment.

"It will make great wall art," said Jerry Whistler, research associate for the Kansas Advanced Remote Sensing (KARS) program, the department that created the map. "That is what a lot of people can use it for."
lvo people. Whistler and other scientists from KARS have developed a new land use and land cover map of Kansas using data from Landsat V, a satellite launched by NASA. They say the map will be helpful.
will be helpful.
"Any project that in any way relates to soil, water and resource locations now has access to a powerful tool for rigorous analysis," said Joe King, a partner in Coriolis, an architecture and energy consulting firm, East 123 West Eighth St.
Edward Martinko, director of biological survey and the KARS program, oversaw the project. He said the original land use and land cover map was prepared in 1973.
A group of KU scientists plans to create a map of Kansas using information and images from Landsat V, a satellite launched by NASA.
The physical makeup, or land cover, of Kansas has changed in the last 23 years, and Martinko said there was a need for an updated version of the map.
Whistler was in charge of the daily lab work creating the map.
He said KARS received 16 satellite scenes of KANS. These scenes were acquired for $4,400 each from the EOSAT corporation, Laham, Md.,
and were paid for by the Kansas Wildlife and Parks Department.
"This data came in on tape," Whistler said. "Our computers then analyze the tape and generate spectral clusters in areas that have similar reflective qualities."
The satellite can collect data in seven band wavelengths. Essentially, different types of land covers give off different wavelengths. This allows a computer to differentiate between them and assign a specific notation, or pixel, to the different wavelengths it sees.
The project, aside from the price of the satellite scenes, cost about $380,000 and was paid for by the Kansas Department of Water.
the clusters of pixels are then identified as a specific land type, the data is collected for the entire state and a complete map is built.
Kevin Price, associate director of KARS, said this map was used by nearly every state agency in Kansas.
"We made this map because the state said that this is the most important information needed by the most agencies," Price said.
The map will be important on campus as well. Arry study or experiment that deals with natural resources or the physical makeup of Kansas will find the map useful, Martinko said.
Terry Slocum, professor of geography, is already using the data for his own use.
"I am writing a book and using it for illustrations," Slocum said.
