1 History of Remote Sensing Early Remote Sensing Thanks to Jim Campbell for many of these slides! The term remote sensing was coined ~1960. Previously, aerial photography was the primary term, but the history of RS has its roots in early observations of light. Legend of an Arab seeing a mysterious image on the wall of his tent, and realizing that it was people outside projected upside down. Al Hazen (of Basra, Iraq) credited with articulating concept of the Camera Obscura in 1038 A.D. Photo from Flickr by Steve Reno (hawks914) Camera Obscura: Used by Roger Bacon 1300) Leonardo da Vinci used a camera obscura in 1490 and traced images on paper. No film! Light sensitive chemicals In 1777, Carl Wilhelm Scheele (Sweden) found that silver chromate darkened with exposure to light, and exposed crystals could be fixed by rinsing with ammonia. Did not create images, but was precursor to film. View from Niepce s estate in Burgundy, France Joseph-Nicéphore Niépce (Prounouced neep-sea), September, 1824 Louis Daguerre, 1830s 1850 Daguerre, 1839 Eadweard Muybridge,

2 Early aerial photographs Gaspard Tournachon (aka Nadar) 1859 Balloon photos for land surveys Early photos mainly served as novelties and curiosities Inability to control altitude and flight path presented obstacles. NARA NYT review of a book about Nadar Muybridge used photography to resolve an old debate about whether all four feet of a trotting horse left the ground at once. San Francisco Earthquake, 1906 Bavarian Pigeon Corps (1903) George Lawrence developed a system to use multiple kites to fly a panoramic camera CHICACO HISTORICAL SOCETY NARA LIBRARY OF CONGRESS Roll Film George Eastman ( ) transformed photography from an expensive hobby to an inexpensive and immensely popular pastime. 1884: Patented the first practical roll film. 1888: Perfected the Kodak camera, designed for roll film. Early airplane photography (1909) The camera and the airplane were not designed to be used with each other an uneasy partnership for a long time. 1892: Established the Eastman Kodak Company. 2

3 Hand-held cameras/aerial observation Propeller blast; Lens fogged by oil thrown by the engine; Difficulty in aiming and framing; Struts and wires block vision; Observers distracted by multiple duties, including observation, navigation, and defense against enemy pursuit aircraft Fixed lines across the western front- conventional reconnaissance blinded; Artillery became the principal combat arm; Aviation in its infancy; Changing plates in flight difficult; Photography in its youth; No supplemental oxygen Aviation and photography not integrated. How would YOU have solved some of these problems?? "... aviation is a good sport, but for the army it is useless" General Ferdinand Foch, Professor of Strategy, Ecole Superiure de Guerre, 1911 Fuselage-mounted cameras Balloon observation handle advances unexposed plates First conflict to focus upon mechanized weaponry; Vertical photography difficult; Hard to get results to field quickly supply magazine World War I Incubator of aerial photography early innovations in aerial camera design exposed plates 3

4 During World War I: Contributions of aerial reconnaissance not valued by senior leadership Rapid evolution of aviation and photographic technology; Rapid development of techniques and tactics; Organizational structures did not respond in a timely or effective manner; Lack of vision by senior aviation leadership. Rapid progress and innovation not sustained during the post-war era The Face of the Earth as Seen From the Air W.T. Lee, 1922; Lee envisioned a broad range of civil applications of aerial photography; neither the infantry nor the cavalry understood the value of photography.... In fact, its safe to say that while the U.S. Army cared about reconnaissance, it cared very little about reconnaissance from the air... [Goddard, 1969, p. 21) Aerial photography was applied as a tool to address economic and environmental issues during the Depression and Dust Bowl. His book can been seen as a blueprint for the development of aerial photography for the next 50 years U.S. Geological Survey and other agencies used images for topographic and geologic mapping. Agricultural economy Aerial photography was used to derive timely information about the function of the agricultural economy. 4

5 Aerial photography, historical coverage, USDA Werner von Fritsch , commander in chief of the German armed forces; Killed in action during the invasion of Poland, 1939 The military organization with the best aerial reconnaissance will win the next war. Historical legacy we now have an achieve of 70 years of coverage World War II Use of non-visible spectrum; Training of a broad population as photointerpreters and photo specialists; Formalization of photointerpretation; Recognition of photointerpretation as a source of strategic intelligence. Photointerpretation for strategic intelligence Success of photointerpretation in detecting German V-weapons earned it a status as a source of reliable strategic significance. Strategic reconnaissance, cold war era Babington-Smith, Constance. AIR SPY. The Story of Photo Intelligence in World War II An inside account of the instrumental role played by aerial reconnaissance and photographic intelligence during World War II, including in the preparations for D-Day, the pursuit of the Bismarck, and the battle against the German V-weapons.
