Abstract
Satellite remote sensing is considered as an increasingly important technology
for detecting underground structures. It can be applied to a wide range of applications,
as shown by various researchers. However, there is a great need to integrate
information from a variety of sources, sent at different times and of different
qualities using remote sensing tools. A SVC-HR1024 field spectroradiometer
could be used, and in-band reflectance’s are determined for medium- and highresolution
satellite sensors, including Landsat. Areas covered by natural soil where
underground structures are present or absent can easily be detected, as a result of
the change in the spectral signature of the vegetation throughout the phenological
stages; in this respect, vegetation indices (VIs) such as the normalized difference
vegetation index (NDVI), simple ratio (SR), and enhanced vegetation index (EVI)
may be used for this purpose. Notably, the SR vegetation index is useful for determining
areas where military underground structures are present.
