Q

T or F. Supersensors exist

A

False. No single sensor is sensitive to all wavelengths or energy levels. All real sensors have fixed limits of spatial, spectral, radiometric and temporal resolution.

Q

T or F. Every material reflected and/or emitted energy in a unique, known way.

A

False. Radically different material types can have great spectral similarity, making identification difficult.

A

Trilateration

17
Q

In GNSS, to Trilaterate, GPS Measures distance using _______________

A

the travel time of a radio signal

18
Q

In GNSS, to measure travel time, GPS needs very accurate clock. T or F.

A

True

19
Q

In GNSS, aside from knowing the distance to satellite, a user needs to know the satellite location. T or F.

A

True

20
Q

A

it gets delayed

21
Q

GNSS errors

A
  1. clock bias
  2. satellite ephemeris errors
  3. errors due to atmospheric conditions
  4. receiver errors
  5. multi-path errors
22
Q

SBAS stands for

A

Satellite-based augmentation systems

23
Q

It is the computer-based systems that can deal with virtually any type of information about features that can be referenced by geographical location.

A

Geographic Information Systems (GIS)

24
Q

____________ is the general-purpose database that has been enhanced to include spatial data that represents objects defined in a geometric space, along with tools for querying and analyzing such data.

A

Geodatabase

25
Q

It is a collection of information that organizes data in predefined relationships where data is stored in one or more tables (or relations) of columns and rows.

A

Relational database

26

31
Q

GIS function that portrays terrain surfaces from a viewing position other than vertical.

A

Perspective views
