Compression of satellite data

Guest Editorial: Satellite Data Compression

Satellite Data Compression, Communications, and Processing VII

The structure of planetary surfaces unveils basic formation processes and evolution lines of different objects in the solar system, and often the view on the top of a planet is the only available information about it. Advanced remote sensing technologies on deep space missions are aimed at accessing a maximum of relevant data to characterize a planetary object holistically. This approach requir...

Compression Specification for Efficient Use of High Resolution Satellite Data

For an efficient usage and distribution of high resolution satellite images, several problems need to be solved. The issue comes with the increasing size of these data. Constraints are different than those of the on-board compression, thus different solutions can be selected. For on-board compression, the main constraints are the computational complexity and the rate attainable with qualified s...

Analysis of LAI in Iran based on MODIS satellite data

This study was performed to evaluate the extent of leaf area in Iran from (2002) to (2016) using Remote sensing. For this purpose, we extracted data collection and leaf area index for the Iranian territory from MODIS website. The database was established with programming in MATLAB software to perform mathematical and Statistical calculations repeated. After the analysis of the data in this soft...

Statistical downscaling of GRACE gravity satellite-derived groundwater level data

With the continued threat from climate change, population growth and followed by increasing water demand, the need for hydrological data with high spatial resolution and proper time coverage to be felt more than ago. Therefore, having data such as terrestrial water storage changes and groundwater level changes with high resolution spatial helps to plan and make decisions for water resource mana...
