What is the primary objective of image processing in remote sensing?

  1. To enhance the visual appearance of images

  2. To extract useful information from images

  3. To compress images for efficient storage

  4. To generate 3D models from images


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The main goal of image processing in remote sensing is to extract valuable information from images acquired by satellites or other remote sensing platforms.

Which type of image processing technique is commonly used to enhance the contrast of an image?

  1. Histogram equalization

  2. Edge detection

  3. Image segmentation

  4. Radiometric correction


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Histogram equalization is a technique used to adjust the distribution of pixel values in an image, thereby enhancing the contrast and making features more distinguishable.

What is the process of assigning labels to different regions in an image called?

  1. Image classification

  2. Image segmentation

  3. Image enhancement

  4. Image registration


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Image classification involves assigning labels or classes to different regions in an image based on their spectral or textural characteristics.

Which type of remote sensing data is commonly used for land use classification?

  1. Visible light imagery

  2. Thermal infrared imagery

  3. Microwave imagery

  4. Hyperspectral imagery


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Hyperspectral imagery, with its numerous spectral bands, provides detailed information about the spectral signatures of different land cover types, making it suitable for land use classification.

What is the process of correcting geometric distortions in an image referred to as?

  1. Image registration

  2. Image rectification

  3. Image enhancement

  4. Image classification


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Image registration involves aligning multiple images of the same area taken from different perspectives or at different times, correcting for geometric distortions.

Which type of image processing technique is used to detect linear features, such as roads or rivers, in an image?

  1. Edge detection

  2. Image segmentation

  3. Image classification

  4. Image enhancement


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Edge detection algorithms are used to identify and extract linear features in an image by detecting sharp changes in pixel values.

What is the process of combining multiple images of the same area, taken at different times or from different sensors, called?

  1. Image fusion

  2. Image registration

  3. Image classification

  4. Image enhancement


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Image fusion combines information from multiple images to create a single composite image with enhanced spatial, spectral, or temporal resolution.

Which type of remote sensing data is commonly used for environmental monitoring?

  1. Visible light imagery

  2. Thermal infrared imagery

  3. Microwave imagery

  4. Hyperspectral imagery


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Thermal infrared imagery is often used for environmental monitoring, as it provides information about the temperature of various surfaces, which can be useful for detecting changes in vegetation, water bodies, and urban areas.

What is the process of extracting 3D information from a single image called?

  1. Photogrammetry

  2. Image segmentation

  3. Image classification

  4. Image enhancement


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Photogrammetry is the process of extracting 3D information, such as elevation and terrain models, from a single image or a series of images.

Which type of image processing technique is used to reduce the number of colors in an image?

  1. Color quantization

  2. Edge detection

  3. Image segmentation

  4. Image classification


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Color quantization is a technique used to reduce the number of colors in an image by replacing similar colors with a representative color, thereby reducing the file size and improving compression.

What is the process of removing unwanted noise from an image called?

  1. Image denoising

  2. Image segmentation

  3. Image classification

  4. Image enhancement


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Image denoising involves removing unwanted noise, such as sensor noise or atmospheric noise, from an image to improve its quality and enhance its interpretability.

Which type of remote sensing data is commonly used for disaster management?

  1. Visible light imagery

  2. Thermal infrared imagery

  3. Microwave imagery

  4. Hyperspectral imagery


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Microwave imagery is often used for disaster management, as it can penetrate clouds and vegetation, making it useful for monitoring floods, landslides, and other natural disasters.

What is the process of converting an image from one coordinate system to another called?

  1. Image reprojection

  2. Image segmentation

  3. Image classification

  4. Image enhancement


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Image reprojection involves converting an image from one coordinate system to another, such as from geographic coordinates to projected coordinates, to ensure accurate spatial referencing.

Which type of image processing technique is used to extract the boundaries of objects in an image?

  1. Edge detection

  2. Image segmentation

  3. Image classification

  4. Image enhancement


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Image segmentation involves dividing an image into multiple segments or regions based on similarities in pixel values, texture, or other characteristics, making it useful for object detection and boundary extraction.

What is the process of generating a 3D model from a series of images called?

  1. Photogrammetry

  2. Image segmentation

  3. Image classification

  4. Image enhancement


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Photogrammetry is the process of generating a 3D model of an object or terrain from a series of images taken from different perspectives, providing a realistic representation of the object's shape and dimensions.
