Rapid Updates of GIS Databases from Digital Images
نویسندگان
چکیده
Our goal is to improve the way in which Geographic Information System (GIS) databases are created, updated and utilized. We are building software systems that will enable users to rapidly and inexpensively acquire, update, analyze and visualize high-resolution digital elevation maps (DEM), ortho-images, and other GIS products from digital images collected by a wide range of aerial and satellite platforms. The low cost and short turnaround time for these products will enable education and research institutes, government agencies and commercial organizations to expand the scope of their GIS applications, especially in the areas of environmental monitoring, change detection, and urban planning.

Sketch-based Image Retrieval in an Integrated Gis Environment
The intelligent retrieval of images from large databases is receiving increased attention in the computer vision community. In this paper we address this problem considering the particularities of image databases encountered in typical topographic applications. Specifically, we present the development of a spatial data management system which enables the use of sketch-based queries for the cont...
متن کاملStudy the Relationship between Digital Number Values from ETM+ Satellite Images and Soil Organic Matter Using Artificial Neural Network and Regression Models
Soil organic carbon (SOC) content plays a key role in soil biological, chemical and physical behavior and knowledge about its state and distribution is essential for the effective and sustainable use of soil. Laboratory measurements of SOC are costly and time consuming and have not the possibility to extend the results to similar areas. Recently, the use of remote sensing data for evaluation of...
متن کاملHigh Performance, Federated and Service-Oriented Geographic Information Systems
General purpose of GIS is extracting information/knowledge from the raw geo-data. The rawdata is collected from sensors, satellites or any other ways and stored in databases or file systems. The data goes through the filtering and rendering services and, presented to the endusers in human recognizable formats such as images, graphs, charts etc. A well-known example of GIS is map viewers which p...
متن کاملForest Cover Database Updates Using Multi-Seasonal RapidEye Data—Storm Event Assessment in the Bavarian Forest National Park
This study is a part of a research program that investigates the potential of RapidEye (RE) satellite data for timely updates of forest cover databases to reflect both regular management activities and sudden changes due to bark beetle and storms. Applied here in the Bavarian Forest National Park (BFNP) in southeastern Germany, this approach detected even small changes between two data takes, t...
متن کاملA GIS-based Vehicle Mobility Estimator for Operational Contexts
A vehicle mobility estimator has been developed to produce decision aid maps for projecting civil or military forces on operational theatres. Based on the exploitation of classical geographical sources (e.g. digital elevation models, optical images, and vector databases) and thematic sources (e.g. climate, meteorological, pedological and land cover databases), the system computes speed maps for...
