(left) A color photograph of an agricultural area. Note the vegetation is green as are the fields. This image was taken in March 2006 so spring was just beginning to emerge. (right) Color infrared photo of the same area. In this image, the red band of the image is replaced with an infrared band. Vegetation reflects infrared light and is displayed in a bright red color. The idea here is you can pick out the vegetation on the map or “separate it”. This becomes the basis for image classification which in turn informs ecological studies.
