Identical satellite images of a section of the Great Wall in northern Shanxi, running diagonally from lower left to upper right and not to be confused with the more prominent river running from upper left to lower right. In the image on the right, the Great Wall has been outlined in red....
Satellite images allow the acquisition of large-scale ground vegetation. Images are available along several years with a high acquisition rate. Such data are called satellite image time series (SITS). We present a method to analyse an SITS through the characterisation of the evolution of a vegetat...
Numerical analysis of the sea state bias for satellite altimetry Theoretical understanding of the dependence of sea state bias (SSB) on wind wave conditions has been achieved only for the case of a unidirectional wind-dr... RE Glazman,A Fabrikant,MA Srokosz - 《Journal of Geophysical Research》...
Starting in 2016, China designated April 24 as the Space Day of China to mark the launch of its first satellite "Dongfanghong-1" into space on April 24, 1970.■ Zhou Jianping, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and the chief designer of China's manned space program, is...
The findings revealed that RapidEye satellite images with a spatial resolution of 5 m 9 5 m are most suitable for estimating the structural diversity in urban forests. 展开 关键词: Biodiversity;Satellite image;Structural diversity;Texture measures;Urban forests ...
Nation-wide forest cover change monitoring in countries the size of Tanzania needs to be based on automatic processing chains. Whenever new satellite images are available, they should be processed to provide updated estimates of deforestation, reforestation, forest degradation and regeneration. This paper...
We investigated the spatiotemporal dynamics of urban expansion in Japan from 1990 to 2006 by using gridded land-use data, population census data, and satellite images of nighttime lights. First, we mapped Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) nighttime lights and land-use data onto the ...
Although feature-based methods have been successfully developed in the past decades for the registration of optical images, the registration of optical and synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images is still a challenging problem in remote sensing. In this letter, an improved version of the scale-invaria...
As residents and emergency responders in eastern Libya continued Wednesday to search storm debris for the bodies of missing people, satellite images released in the aftermath of this week's devastating floods show the vast scope of the damage to Derna, a port city with a population of about ...
