DETECTION OF SURFACE CONDITION
The paper deals with the methods of remote sensing of the earth (ERS). Discusses the methods of assessing timber resources: the identification of fires, oppression of vegetation, deforestation. The applicability of vegetation indices (VI) for remote sensing problems with the possibility of their adaptation to objects of inanimate nature is investigated. The dependence of the optical spectra (visible and infrared) is shown. The optimal indices are selected depending on the scanning parameters and the distance to the surface under study. The algorithms of realization of the program defining critical areas of different nature are offered. Developed a tool to automate the analysis of the map of the States of the sample surface.
