| Summary: | The heritage of Lembah Bujang, Kedah is important as a starting point to understand the
origins and history of civilization in Malaysia. This research is to analyze the spectral
reflectance of shrines properties in an identified area by using remote sensing techniques
in conserving this cultural heritage site. The remote sensing device (Spectroradiometer)
was used to measure the spectral reflectance of the source of shrines in the study area.
This tool was applied for reflectance’s test over properties such as ancient brick, granite,
literates and iron in a different two study areas consist of Lembah Bujang and Kompleks
Sungai Batu. Remote sensing test properties demonstrate that discrimination of properties
types of each civilization is possible through reflection measurement, but that
discrimination is complicated by surface conditions, such as weathering and lichen
growth. Comparison between clays, granite and iron show that clays to be more reflective
than granite and iron. This result will help more in our further study on detecting these
properties direct through remote sensing imagery and will be helpful in developing new
indexes and selection of threshold value on shrines material in the case study of Lembah
Bujang. |
