Visual analytics for built-up area understanding from metric resolution Earth observation data

Immersive Visual Analytic of Earth Observation Data

New trends in exploration and visualization are highly demanded in dealing with the massive amount of collected Earth Observation (EO) data. In this work, we propose an immersive visual analytic of EO data utilizing Virtual Reality technology. Precisely, we introduce the visualization of large scale SAR images in an immersive 3D environment and also introduce an interactive learning algorithm f...

Monitoring the Built-up Area Transformation Using Urban Index and Normalized Difference Built-up Index Analysis

Makassar is one of the metropolitan cities located in Indonesia which recently experiences massive an increased construction because of population growth. Mapping the spatial distribution and development of the built-up region is the best method that can use as an indicator to set the urban planning policy. The purpose of this study is to identify changes in land use and density in Makassar Cit...

Big data visual analytics for exploratory earth system simulation analysis

Rapid increases in high performance computing are feeding the development of larger and more complex data sets in climate research, which sets the stage for so-called “big data” analysis challenges. However, conventional climate analysis techniques are inadequate in dealing with the complexities of today’s data. In this paper, we describe and demonstrate a visual analytics system, called the Ex...

Optical Data Downlinks from Earth Observation Platforms

The increasing resolution of earth observation sensors will require much higher data rates for the data downlink in future than is feasible with conventional RF-technology. This applies for earth observation satellites as well as for aeronautic observation platforms, such as aircraft or stratospheric high altitude platforms. The most promising solution for this data downlink bottleneck is the a...
