The Joint Remote Sensing Research Program is a collaboration between the Centre for Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Science, the Queensland Department of Natural Resources and Water, and the New South Wales Department of Environment and Climate Change.
The purpose of the JRSRP is to perform research and development and provide specialised training that supports the mapping and monitoring activities undertaken by the QLD and NSW governments. The work supports those research activities aimed at understanding the impacts that humans and climate have on the natural environment.
- Research and development activities include:
- Development of automated image-georegistration software
- Calibration of airborne and satellite-based camera systems
- Retrieval of aerosol optical-depth information from satellite imagery
- Atmospheric correction of satellite imagery
- Analysis of the bi-directional reflectance properties of vegetation
- Studying changes and trends in land cover using the 35-year archive of Landsat imagery
