Applying remote sensing to land cover change analyses Friday, March 18, 2016 - 14:36 I recently traveled to Brazil as part of a course on agroecology. The class itself was part of a larger, multi-decade project to implement agroecological practices on farms in a rural area of Santa Catarina state called Santa Rosa de Lima.

Okay, one more time, while the autopilot calibrates, let's do the math. If I let Jean-Baptiste Joseph Fourier do his magic and destroy my pixel values then I can get JPEGS at a cost of about 5-10 Megabytes each. But here we're doing change detection, so we need the RAW images, that means I'm looking at up to 50 Megabytes per click of the camera. We're taking 10 images per second, and doing 10 flights at 20 minutes per flight. 50 MB * 10 images/second * 60 seconds/min * 20 min/flight...
