Abstract

A computerized method of preparing vector type geocoded geographical data to be overlayed on to a Landsat 4 MSS image is described. The geographical data sets consisted of (i) silo range boundaries digitized from 1:250 000 maps, and (ii) soil potential contours generated by computer-aided modelling procedures. These geocoded geographical data were initially in vector format, i. e. , line segments represented by their coordinates. After rasterizing the geocoded data sets they were overlayed on to classification maps generated from the Landsat data with the purpose of calculating potential grain production per silo range.
