Description
This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to enhance, classify and process remotely sensed data, using both hard copy and digital imagery in a geographic information systems (GIS) context. It requires the ability to apply wide-ranging specialised technical, creative and conceptual skills, a broad knowledge of spatial datasets, and accountability for personal and group outcomes. Functions will entail complying with and developing or amending organisational guidelines.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1Determine appropriate digital image processing techniques.
- 1.1 Appropriate image, merger and modelling techniques are determined according to organisational requirements and project specifications.1.2 Appropriate data collection and analysis techniques in remote sensing process are determined according to project requirements.1.3 Suitable digital image processing techniques and digital image data formats are selected.1.4 Additional characteristics of image and metadata are included.
- 1.5 OHS issues are considered at all times.1.6 Skills and knowledge are updated to accommodate changes in operating environment and equipment.
2Select suitable computing platforms and software systems.
- 2.1 Spatial computing platforms and software systems are assessed for suitability in line with the project specification.2.2 Availability of suitable data is verified with the potential suppliers.2.3 Constraints on use of spatial data are assessed against specification.2.4 Commercially available image processing systems are assessed to determine appropriate components, menu items, characteristics and statistics.
3Conduct image enhancements and manipulations.
- 3.1 Transformation routines using image calculations are conducted.3.2 Edge enhancements and smoothing filters are applied with the use of convolution matrices.3.3 Image transformation is performed with channels of brightness, greenness and wetness.3.4 Imagery for distribution is determined.
4Perform supervised and unsupervised classifications on datasets.
- 4.1 Thematic classifications and relative differentiations between supervised and unsupervised classification algorithms are determined.4.2 Supervised classifications of algorithms are conducted with the use of training areas.4.3 Hard copy outputs are produced according to specifications.4.4 Error analysis is applied to perform an approximate accuracy assessment of classifications.
5Conduct data merger and GIS integration.
- 5.1 Components of integration and merging techniques are summarised.5.2 Techniques of use for the GIS data are documented.
