MONITORING OF NAHA AIRPORT EXTENSION RUNWAY USING MEDIUM RESOLUTION SATELLITE IMAGE

Airport runway detection in satellite images by Adaboost learning

Advances in hardware and pattern recognition techniques, along with the widespread utilization of remote sensing satellites, have urged the development of automatic target detection systems in satellite images. Automatic detection of airports is particularly essential, due to the strategic importance of these targets. In this paper, a runway detection method using a segmentation process based o...

Optimal Selection of Airport Runway Configurations

We present a mixed integer programming (MIP) model to solve the problems of (i) selecting an airport’s optimal sequence of runway configurations and (ii) determining the optimal balance of arrivals and departures to be served at any moment. These problems, the runway configuration management (RCM) problem and the arrival/departure runway balancing (ADRB) problem, respectively, are of critical i...

A Review of Airport Runway Optimization

Runway Scheduling for Charlotte Douglas International Airport

This paper explores a multiple runway scheduling problem and generates the schedule for arrivals, departures and crossing aircraft planning to use the runways within a given planning horizon. We present a mixed integer linear programming-based model that explicitly considers separation criteria between pairs of aircraft and also incorporates various Traffic Management Initiatives. It also inclu...

Algorithm for Soybean Classification Using Medium Resolution Satellite Images

An accurate estimation of soybean crop areas while the plants are still in the field is highly necessary for reliable calculation of real crop parameters as to yield, production and other data important to decision-making policies related to government planning. An algorithm for soybean classification over the Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil, was developed as an objective, automated tool. It is...
