Remote Sensing

[sciolykid101]

Well, the text documents are, but the images are crappy.

Remote Sensing and Image Interpretation and Remote Sensing: Principles and Interpretation are two excellent textbooks that I have used in the past as references and resources for learning new material. In particular, both of these books contain a large number of color plates that include detailed descriptions of images to help you gain a practical knowledge of how remote sensing is used. The books also contain a decent amount of information/plates on environmental remote sensing, which is of particular importance for the focus of this year's event.

I don't have a clue what I am doing. Somebody HELP!!

[brainychix2010]

i agree...
do you guys have any tips on this event
i had to switch to this from another event last week so i really don't know what i'm doing
is there anythiing really useful on the remote sensing cd?
and are they going to focus on remote sensing images or the effects of global warming?

It does help to study, and look up the stuff on the rules, but it really helps if you know what'll be on the test, so if you haven't taken any try to get a practice test online.

One slight problem: there aren't any?

Can you get to the Mentor Invitational site? That's where I got this one: http://www.mentorhigh.com/scienceolympi ... 20Sensing/

So, my partner and I have taken some practice tests and all. The thing is with the "cheat sheet" what kind of information are you guys adding to it? And I'm assuming your all typing it, front and back right?

I just don't know what to expect on the State test, because I've taken a test that's completely based off of satellite information, and another that was based completely off of global warming and the environment. Quite honestly I'm hoping of the latter.

Also, what would we need statistics for in a test?

This test could give you an idea of what might be on the test: http://www.mentorhigh.com/scienceolympi ... 20Sensing/

And yes, it's the same one I had put up before.

so me and my partner just had our remote sensing state test and we didn't know anything...
one of the questions was

what is an oblate ellipsoid?

anyone, answer?
