Nasa Standards for Earth Remote Sensing Data

Earth Observing System (EOS) is one of NASA's large programs for Earth science and global change research. In order to process, distribute, and archive data from EOS satellites and to facilitate interdisciplinary research, NASA has developed the EOS Data and Information System (EOSDIS) that defines a set of standards to deal with remote sensing data. In EOSDIS, data are grouped into three conce...

Near Remote Sensing for Tactical Earth Protection

In this paper we present how to use an Unmanned Aerial System in remote sensing. The system is specifically designed for forest fire management, as a support tool for the Fire Services to improve their tactical decisions. The system payload includes two cameras: a thermal camera and a visual camera. A simple image processing algorithm is applied to the thermal images in order to detect hot area...

Remote Sensing of Earth Terrain

The objective of this research is to develop theoretical models that are useful and practical in the remdte sensing of the earth environmect including the earth terrain, the lower and the upper atmospheres. We have been very successful in developing various models applicable to the microwave remote sensing of vegetation, snow-ice, m d atmospheric precipitation. We shall extend such studies to t...

Spaceborne Radar Technologies for Earth Remote Sensing

Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) is an indispensable source of information in earth observation since SAR is the only spaceborne sensor that has highresolution, all-weather and day-and-night imaging capability. Within the next 10 years more than 20 spaceborne SAR systems from different nations will be launched. Increased demand for larger swath width and higher geometric resolution poses contract...
