چکیده

Remote sensing information is increasingly being used to quantitatively improve an understanding of how the Earth functions as an ecosystem. Monitoring of vegetation change has become one of the most popular areas of research in multispectral satellite remote sensing applications. Considerable effort has been given to the discrimination of ecosystem succession, seasonal changes, and disturbance-type changes such as air pollution, insect damage, and management treatments (Nilson and Peterson, 1994). However, hyperspectral dataset archives are only now reaching the number required to permit multi-temporal investigations of sites.

A Gravitational Search Algorithm-Based Single-Center of Mass Flocking Control for Tracking Single and Multiple Dynamic Targets for Parabolic Trajectories in Mobile Sensor Networks

Developing optimal flocking control procedure is an essential problem in mobile sensor networks (MSNs). Furthermore, finding the parameters such that the sensors can reach to the target in an appropriate time is an important issue. This paper offers an optimization approach based on metaheuristic methods for flocking control in MSNs to follow a target. We develop a non-differentiable optimizati...

Climatic Changes Effects on Spectral Vegetation Indices for Forested Areas Analysis from Satellite Data

Climate-induced changes at the land surface may in turn feed back on the climate itself through changes in soil moisture, vegetation, radiative characteristics, and surface-atmosphere exchanges of water vapor. Thresholding based on biophysical variables derived from time trajectories of satellite data is a new approach to classifying forest land cover via remote sensing .The input data are comp...
