LAP 01: Using HYDRA to inspect multispectral remote sensing data

Step 1: Open HYDRA, and display data MODIS

Figure 1: Display MODIS data

- In the next following, we can adjusting the color range by tool Set Color Range

Figure 2: Set color range dialogue

- We setup parameter for 2 balances: 270-310, we have result in figure3

 Figure 3: The results after setting up new parameter

- Use the tool zoom in and zoom out and zoom in the image

Figue 4: Display zoom out the image

 Figure 5: Display zoom in in the picture

- Display the image in color and we try different color

Figure 6: Display color image

Step 2: Start the Multichannel Viewer.

Figure 7: Resolution data displayed in the Multichannel Viewer window

The next following, we locate the lat and longititude of the min and max
brightness temperature in the image.
 Figure 9: Display the min and max brightness temperature values in the image
Step 3: We conduct select Band number 20 (3.8 m) and display the image

Figure 10: Display the image with band 20 (3.8 m)

 Figure 11: Display the image with band 31
The brightness temperature in 11 m is darker than its in 3.8 m. It is explained
the brightness temperature is shown this equation:

Due to wavelength at m > 3.8 m, the value of brightness at 11 m larger its

at 3.8 m

- The following step, we create an image of 3.8 m brightness temperature allowing

the range of values to span 270 to 310K
 Figure 12: Display the image into 2 wavelength
It is explained at 11 m the clouds are much larger than 3.8 m: cloud consists of

water droplets have typical sizes range from 10 m to 50 m so in the 11 m

image, it is dominate than 3.8 m image.

Step 4: Display a Reference Spectrum.

Figure 13: Display Reference Spectrum between 2 wavelength

It is explained that at 3.8 m, the feature in image is water which at this

wavelength is more contribution spectrum absorption in solar flux than 11 m

Step 5: Display a Transect (Tools) in the 3.8 m image going through clouds, sea
and desert between 2 different bands.

Figure 14: Transect tool for 2 band

In 2 case, we see the desert is darker than sea and clouds. It is explained, in these
wavelength, water and cloud display stronger spectrum than land. It lead to the
contrast in colour which express in the image.
Step 6: Open Linear Combinations and display 0.55 m reflectances on the y axis

and 11 m brightness temperature on the x axis

Figure 15: Scatter plot of visible on y axis and x axis
Step7: We are using Linear Combination window, and create an image of the
difference of 3.8 m and minus 11 m brightness temperatures.

Figure 16: Display into 2 different bands

We create image of the difference 3.8 m minus 11 m

Figure 17: The result image after minusing

 We use color range to enhance features in various regions by using Setting/ Set
Color Scale from 270 to 310. We have the results:

We suggest three cause for the large differences for these two window channels:
- The different between temperature of feature on the surface. The more temperature
it has, the warmer ít get.
