Detecting 3D Vegetation Structure with the Galileo Space Probe: Can a Distant Probe Detect Vegetation Structure on Earth?
Sagan et al. (1993) used the Galileo space probe data and first principles to find evidence of life on Earth. Here we ask whether Sagan et al. (1993) could also have detected whether life on Earth had three-dimensional structure, based on the Galileo space probe data. We reanalyse the data from this probe to see if structured vegetation could have been detected in regions with abundant photosyn...
متن کاملObserving Fluorescence from Space: Esa’s Mission Concepts
Terrestrial ecosystems absorb an amount of ~ 120 Gt of carbon annually through the physiological process of photosynthesis. Since the estimated annual turnover between the atmosphere and terrestrial ecosystems is considerably greater than the amount of fossil fuel emissions (~ 6 Gt), small alterations in the terrestrial carbon balance are likely to have a significant impact on atmospheric CO2 c...
متن کاملStructure-From-Motion in 3D Space Using 2D Lidars
This paper presents a novel structure-from-motion methodology using 2D lidars (Light Detection And Ranging). In 3D space, 2D lidars do not provide sufficient information for pose estimation. For this reason, additional sensors have been used along with the lidar measurement. In this paper, we use a sensor system that consists of only 2D lidars, without any additional sensors. We propose a new m...
متن کاملInfluence of vegetation on SMOS mission retrievals
Using the proposed Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) mission as a case study, this paper investigates how the presence and nature of vegetation influence the values of geophysical variables retrieved from multi-angle microwave radiometer observations. Synthetic microwave brightness temperatures were generated using a model for the coherent propagation of electromagnetic radiation through ...
متن کامل3D mission oriented simulation
In the project ViewFinder mobile robots equipped with numerous perception sensors will be integrated into a command and control network. In order to improve the development process and secure the test phase, a simulation environment is mandatory. This paper presents the simulation needs of the project ViewFinder taking into account the robot mission planning characteristics. State of the art gr...
