Foreword special issue on analysis of multitemporal remote sensing images

THE development of effective methodologies for the analysis of multitemporal data is one of the most important and challenging issues that the remote sensing community should face in the next years. The importance and timeliness of this issue are directly related to the ever-increasing quantity of multitemporal data provided by the numerous remote sensing satellites that orbit around our planet...

Remote respiratory sensing with an infrared camera using the Kinect TM infrared projector

The need for an inexpensive and portable remote respiratory monitor is in particular demand in a hospital setting as the respiratory rate provides early warning for cardiorespiratory arrest. This paper proposes an inexpensive infrared (IR) camera combined with the Microsoft Kinect TM IR projector as a low-cost module for accurate measurement of respiratory rate. The IR camera utilizes a backgro...

Polarimetric Remote Sensing in the Visible to Near Infrared

Polarization adds another dimension to the spatial intensity and spectral information typically acquired in remote sensing. Polarization imparted by surface reflections contains unique and discriminatory signatures which may augment spectral target-detection techniques. Benefits such as improving man-made object detection are often touted, as well as possible improvements to spectral algorithms...
