The RSG also collaborates with imaging scientists at the UL in the fields of astronomy, medical imaging, image processing/computer science, and kinesiology. Primary Research Areas Analysis of atmospheric trace gases Atmospheric correction of satellite image data Bidirectional reflectance properties of Earth surfaces Development of remote sensing applications in agriculture, rangeland, forestry, mountainous terrain, oil sands, water resources, etc Hyperspectral imaging / imaging spectrometry Image classification, texture analysis, and spectral mixture analysis Image processing and analysis methodologies Investigations of molecular structures Remote sensing laboratory and field analyses Remote sensing instrumentation (field/airborne/atmospheric sensors) Sensor radiometric calibration Topographic corrections of satellite image data Vegetation canopy reflectance modeling and inversion Alberta Terrestrial Imaging Centre The Alberta Terrestrial Imaging Centre (ATIC) is a partnership betwe
