The amplitude of internal waves is an important parameter for the remote-sensing detection. However, there is no analytic method developed for the amplitude inversion of internal waves based on optical remote-sensing images. In this article, the deep-...

AdaBoost demonstrates excellent performance in remote sensing RS image classification, but as it works on only one classification algorithm, the disadvantage of the classification algorithm itself is difficult to overcome, resulting in limitations in ...

Yaogan-5YG-5, launched in December 2008, is a Chinese high-resolution spaceborne synthetic aperture radar SAR satellite, with a ground resolution of 3 m. However, the direct geometric positioning accuracy of YG-5 slant range images is low and so is the ...

Identifying habitats that should be protected from further disturbance or conversion and isolating high-risk areas is a focus of community habitat plans in southern California shrublands. Larger wildfires are occurring at shorter intervals in recent ...

Multiresolution segmentation MRS is one of the most commonly used image segmentation algorithms in the remote-sensing community. This algorithm has three user-defined parameters: scale, shape, and compactness. The scale parameter SP is the most crucial ...

Photogrammetry based on high-resolution satellite image can acquire geospatial information within a large area rapidly and timely, but its geopositioning accuracy is highly dependent on ground control points. Under the background of global mapping, a ...

Lightning, rainfall, aerosol optical depth AOD, and convection variabilities in the monsoon zone of India are studied during the period 2001–2012. Accumulated rain is used to study rainfall and the parameters surface temperature, convective available ...

The human visualization system is not optimally suited for fire detection. Smoke occlusion heavily limits flame visibility and low flames can be difficult to see. Thermal infrared TIR sensors mitigate these effects but come at high costs >$3000 that ...

The purpose of this work is the development of a processing procedure with Landsat images applicable to agro-ecosystems that can produce results in heavily transformed areas where suspicion of illegal waste burial is high.

Very high resolution VHR remote-sensing imagery can reveal ground objects in great detail, depicting the colour, shape, size and structure of the objects. However, VHR also leads to a large amount of noise in the spectra, which may reduce the ...

Numerous meteorological drought-monitoring indices and remote-sensing-based spatial drought monitoring indices have been developed and applied to monitor drought in different ways. However, individual indices have obvious deficiencies in terms of their ...

Landsat-based land-use land-cover LULC mapping studies were previously conducted in Giba catchment, comprising an area of 4019 km². No attempt has been done to map LULC of this catchment through the analysis of Moderate Resolution Imaging ...

The Sentinel-2 satellite currently provides freely available multispectral bands at relatively high spatial resolution but does not acquire the panchromatic band. To improve the resolution of 20 m bands to 10 m, existing pansharpening methods Brovey ...

This article presents an experiment in which multi-temporal interferometric coherence calculated from 6-days Sentinel-1A and Sentinel-1B image pairs and backscatter intensity σ° are jointly used for the extraction of built-up areas in the framework of ...

Machine-learning algorithms MLA are coming of age within satellite remote sensing SRS. This study compares the performance of a number of MLAs with more traditional indices and algorithms to map annual agro-pastoralist farming activity in southern ...

Burnt area is a critical parameter for estimating emissions of greenhouse gases associated with biomass burning. Several burnt area products BAPs derived from Earth Observation satellites/sensors have been released; these are based on different spatial ...

Whiting events, or waters with high concentrations of fine-grained calcium carbonate, have been previously reported in southwest Florida using three years of observations from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer. Here, the initial case ...

Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer MODIS, land surface temperature data, during daytime LST_day or night-time LST_night, were employed for predicting maximum T_max or minimum T_min air temperature measured at ground stations, respectively, in ...
