Sentinel-2 Satellite Imagery based Population Estimation Strategies at FabSpace 2.0 Lab Darmstadt

This paper elaborates the Sentinel-2 image processing approaches used for the estimation of the population of an area of interest at Image CLEF Remote 2017 lab by the FabSpace 2.0 Darmstadt team. The task is introduced by Image CLEF Lab as a new pilot task in 2017 (Remote) which aims at exploring Copernicus Earth Observation data (i.e. Sentinel-2 satellite imagery) in order to estimate the popu...

Comparing the Capability of Sentinel 2 and Landsat 8 Satellite Imagery in Land Use and Land Cover Mapping Using Pixel-based and Object-based Classification Methods

Introduction: Having accurate and up-to-date information on the status of land use and land cover change is a key point to protecting natural resources, sustainable agriculture management and urban development. Preparing the land cover and land use maps with traditional methods is usually time and cost consuming. Nowadays satellite imagery provides the possibility to prepare these maps in less ...

Automated selection of suitable atmospheric calibration sites for satellite imagery

Ground calibration targets (GCTs) play a vital role in atmospheric correction of satellite sensor data in the optical region, but selecting suitable targets is a subjective and timeconsuming task. This paper describes a method to automatically select suitable GCTs, using a combination of remotely sensed multispectral and topographic data. Desirable characteristics for GCTs sites were identified...

Automated Registration of High Resolution Satellite Imagery for Change Detection

Change detection is important for an up-to-date GIS database. The ever improving spatial, spectral and temporal resolution of satellite imagery allows for reliable detection and characterization of even more details of the changed patterns with higher accuracy. The quality of registration of the involved imagery is the key factor that dictates the validity and the reliability of the change dete...
