Remote Sensing Capabilities Within the Center of Excellence in Remote Sensing
Education and Research
Purpose
The intent of the Center of Excellence in Remote Sensing Education and
Research (CERSER) is to develop an innovative and relevant research collaboration focused on coastal,
ocean, and marine research.
This center represents a joint effort by:•Elizabeth City State University (ECSU)
•The Office of Naval Research (ONR)
•The MU-SPIN Office of Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC)
•The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)
•Pixoneer Corporation
•SeaSpace Corporation
•NOAA’s Wakefield Office of the National Weather Service (NWS)
CERSER Highlights• CERSER was established at ECSU in July 2002.• ECSU is the first HBCU to acquire a SeaSpace TeraScan HRPT
system.• ECSU is the only east coast training site for SeaSpace Corporation. • Our system is configured for the reception and processing of HRPT
and SeaWIFS data from polar orbiting satellites.
The CERSER Lab consists of: SeaSpace TeraScan 1.5m HRPT system
System is composed of the following components:
Polar Orbiting Tracking 1.5m Antenna
Global Positioning System (GPS) Antenna/Receiver
Telemetry Receiver
Workstation
Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS)
TeraScan Software Suite
Laboratory consisting of 15 Computer Workstations containing: LINUX, UNIX and Windows XP
Remote Storage Areas of Research Information
Servers including a local Web Server, Data Server, and an Online Course Server
Pixoneer Geomatics PG-Steamer Software
•Image Processing Software
•Tools allow the user to process, visualize, manipulate and analyze remotely sensed imagery and other geospatial data in a single, integrated environment
•Ability to process AVHRR and SeaWiFS data ingested at CERSER

Research Projects• Dolphin Occurrence and Activity on the VA Coastline and
its Relation to Sea Surface Temperature – Summer 2003• Science, Settlement, and Remote Sensing: Locating the
Remains of the Lost Colony of NE North Carolina – Summer 2003
• Correlations Between Right Whale Distribution and Sea Surface Temperature – Summer 2003
• Documentation of the TeraScan Installation & Image Processing – Fall 2002/Spring 2003
Community Viz Training for Pasquotank County Local Government
• Pasquotank County Government employees and ECSU personnel were introduced to plans and software being utilized for the Pasquotank River Watershed.
• Community Viz is a software package that operates on ArcView and has been customized with Pasquotank River Basin natural and cultural resource vector data.
Spatial Analysis and Remote Sensing Workshop• Faculty and staff from ECSU, Virginia State University, and the
US Department of Agriculture were introduced to GIS and Remote Sensing applications, spatial analysis, and GPS.
PG-Steamer Remote Sensing Software Training• CERSER sponsored PG-Steamer Training Workshop with Pixoneer. Dr. Mohamed
Mohamed trained workshop participants on PG-Steamer software for remote sensing education.
Remote Sensing Training• ECSU student researchers are attending training on how to use
TeraVision and PG-Steamer image processing software.
