Remote Sensing Platforms

Collective Sensing Platforms

This chapter provides an overview of web-based information and communications technology platforms that collect and display sensor based information. We focus on collective sensing platforms that allow to extend the collected sensor information, e. g., using tags or other annotations. We provide an overview on such platforms and discuss critical issues such as big data and sensor cloud storage....

This abstract touches briefly on the main components of our research program, summarizing the results of these efforts, and provides references for more detailed information. The goal of this research program is the development of a critical design for a Raman lidar system optimized to match Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Program needs for profiling atmospheric water vapor at Cloud and...

Remote Sensing

Electromagnetic energy incident on the surface features are partially reflected, absorbed or transmitted through it. The fractions that are reflected absorbed or transmitted vary with material type and the condition of the feature. It also varies with the wavelength of the incident energy. Majority of the remote sensing systems operate in the region in which the surface features mostly reflect ...

Remote Sensing

An investigation into the evolution of coral rubble deposits on a coral reef platform is assessed using high-resolution remote sensing data and geospatial analysis. Digital change detection analysis techniques are applied to One Tree Reef in the southern Great Barrier Reef by analysing aerial photographs and satellite images captured between 1964 and 2009. Two main types of rubble deposits were...
