This paper gives a brief survey of remote sensing techniques from a viewpoint of pattern recongition and media understanding (PRMU). First we give a brief summary of remote sensing, and then introduce related work on both remote sensing image processing and some unique issues in remote sensing image processing. We moreover point out that the future direction of remote sensing is expected to be ...

This chapter deals with the integration of remote sensing data for national forest inventories. It will give a basic understanding of how remote sensing can be integrated in national forest inventories (NFA) and what aspects are important. It will give an overview of different remote sensing systems, data types, the advantages and disadvantages as well as future developments. Remote sensing dat...

Nowadays government and private agencies use remote sensing imagery for a wide range of applications from military applications to farm development. The images may be a panchromatic, multispectral, hyperspectral or even ultraspectral of terra bytes. Remote sensing image classification is one amongst the most significant application worlds for remote sensing. A few number of image classification...

With the rapid development of remote sensing science and technology, remote sensing specialists are increasingly in demand. This paper compares current practices in remote sensing education in China and the UK, drawing recommendations about teaching bestpractice and identifying opportunities for Chinese-UK collaboration. First, although the setup of remote sensing course programmes differs betw...

every year, a considerable portion of the national budget specifies to reconstruct the properties which have been destroyed during natural disasters in iran. recognition of vulnerable sites to natural disasters can reduce the probable damages. the most important point in designing railway tracks is to join stations in the least possible time. so, the railway track is meant to cross lots of vall...

     Miqan desert wetland is one of the 10 major wetlands in Iran. In 2008, it has changed into a non-hunting area due to its fragile ecology.  Evaluating the change trends of the wetland and the use of its surrounding lands is of high significant in order to maintain the wetlands. In this regard, the satellite images of the ETM+ and OLI sensors of years 2002 and 2013 were initially collected. ...
