Detecting Massed Troops with the French SPOT Satellites A Feasibility Study for Cooperative Monitoring
نویسنده
چکیده
One application that merits closer examination is the use of SPOT panchromatic imagery (10 meter resolution) to detect and monitor troops massing along an international border, near a demarcation line, or at key transportation nodes deep within a country. If commercial imagery acquired by the SPOT satellites or by comparable remote sensing systems could be used for such a purpose, the analysis of this openly available imagery could provide states with a rudimentary early warning capability against offensive attack preparations. Such a capability could be used by states individually or collectively to monitor troop movements within the region and verify the absence of troops in agreed demilitarized zones.

متن کاملFeasibility Study of Real-time and Automated Monitoring of Iranian Rivers using 50-kHz Fluvial Acoustic Tomography System
Acoustic Tomography (AT) technique is an innovative method for real-time river monitoring. In this study, not only the accuracy of flow velocity measurement using 50 kHz AT system which is appropriate for narrow rivers (most Iranian rivers) is evaluated, but also its performance is compared with 30 kHz one which is used in wide rivers. The comparison results showed that the velocity resolutions...
