Stereoscopic Estimation of Volcanic Ash Cloud-Top Height from Two Geostationary Satellites
The characterization of volcanic ash clouds released into the atmosphere during explosive eruptions includes cloud height as a fundamental physical parameter. A novel application is proposed of a method based on parallax data acquired from two geostationary instruments for estimating ash cloud-top height (ACTH). An improved version of the method with a detailed discussion of height retrieval ac...
متن کاملAutomated cloud-drift winds from GOES images
Estimation of the atmospheric wind field based on cloud tracking using a time sequence of satellite imagery is an extremely challenging problem due to the complex dynamics of the imaging instruments and the underlying non-linear phenomena of cloud formation and weather. Cloud motion may involve both partial fluid motion and partial solid motion, which we model as semi-fluid motion. Motion algor...
متن کاملEfficient transform coding of IR line-scan images based on spatial adaptivity
Based on our systematic studies of IRLS (InfraRed Line-Scanner) image statistical properties and comparative analyzes of state-of-the-art transform based image coders, we propose coding performance improvements by spatial image segmentation and operational rate-distortion optimization. We present in this paper, a new approach for an adaptive coding of IRLS images which combines the advantages o...
متن کاملStereoscopic Reconstruction Of Retina Images Based On Angiographic And Laser-Scan Ophthalmoscopic Images
?here are several imaging devices that enable the acquiition of images from the human retina. In this paper we tart by considering the images obtained by means of ngiography. Stereoscopic (3D) reconstruction is first erformed by using only angiographic images. Next he combination and fusion of information from both ngiographic and laser-scan ophthalmoscopic images is )nsidered in order to overc...
متن کاملA New Method for Estimating Body Height from Uncalibrated Images
We address the problem of estimating a person’s body height from a single uncalibrated image. The novelty of our work lies in that we handle two difficult cases not previously addressed in the literature: (i) the image contains no reference length in the background scene, (ii) the image contains the upper body only. In a nutshell, our method combines well-known ideas from projective geometry an...
