Kamaruzaman Jusoff Forest Geospatial Information & Survey Lab, Lebuh Silikon Faculty of Forestry, Universiti Putra Malaysia Serdang 43400 Selangor, Malaysia Tel: +60-3-8946 7176 E-mail: [email protected] Norsuzila Ya’acob Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Universiti Teknologi MARA UiTM 40450 Shah Alam, Malaysia Tel: +60-3-5544 2000 E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Power transmission lines routes mapping is an important technique for locating power transmission line routes and towers on mountain/hilltops to assist viewing of their impacts on the environment, operations and allocation of public utilities. A study was therefore conducted to map the power transmission lines within Bukit Lanjan PLUS highway. The main objective of this study is to assess the capability of airborne hyperspectral sensing for mapping of power transmission. By using ENVI software, the airborne hyperspectral imaging data was enhanced using convolution filtering technique using band 3 which produced a gray scale image which appeared clearer and sharper. The spectral reflectance curves were acquired for each power line which showed the same spectrum characteristics in curve or the reflectance energy. This is because of the same power lines composition material for all power lines. Ground verification was done by comparing the UPM-APSB’s AISA Global Positioning System (GPS) coordinates readings with ground GPS coordinates readings of the power transmission lines footings. The ground verification result from the two matching power transmission line footings showed that the accuracy of power lines identification was acceptable.

  • Falco Builders Letter
    Falco Builders Letter A Visit with Frati If anybody ever suggests you go visit Frati “in Milan,” as Alfred Scott did when he heard I was going to be in Italy writing about the Piaggio Avanti turboprop, here’s my suggestion: get Alfred to pay the cabfare. If you can’t do that, buy a car. A small Fiat will do, and it’ll prob- ably be cheaper than a cab. I leapt off the train from Genoa at Milan’s central station and plunged straight into a waiting taxi. “Via Trieste Vente-Quat- tro,” I said in my best non-Italian, and about $15 later, that’s exactly where he took me—24 Via Trieste. Quiet urban residential street... relatively upscale... odd place for an airplane factory.... Actually, there was no number 24.
