Remote sensing methods have extensively been applied in many areas, for instance, hydrological modeling, wildlife habitat modeling, forest degradation monitoring, wetland biodiversity conservation and disaster management. Different types of sensors mounted on a satellite generate images with different spatial, spectral, radiometric and temporal resolutions. Due to synoptic view and repetitive c...

Solar radiation is affected by absorption and emission phenomena during its downward trajectory from the Sun to the Earth’s surface and during the upward trajectory detected by satellite sensors. This leads to distortion of the ground radiometric properties (reflectance) recorded by satellite images, used in this study to estimate aboveground forest biomass (AGB). Atmospherically-corrected remo...

(1993). Topographic normalization of TM scenes through the use of an atmospheric correction method and digital terrain models. A computer graphics based model for scattering from objects of arbitrary shapes in the optical region. Correction of atmospheric and topo-graphic effects for high spatial resolution satellite imagery. Fig. 2: a) Geocorrected Landsat-TM image from April 26th of the Davos...

Two demonstration sites in southeast Idaho were used to extend the scope of remote sensing of leafy spurge research toward investigating coarser scale detection limits. Hyperspectral images were obtained to produce baseline leafy spurge maps, from which spatially and/or spectrally degraded images were subsequently derived for comparative purposes with Landsat 5 Thematic Mapper (TM). The baselin...

This article is aimed to give the first results of the project studying the faults and tectonic style of the southwestern part of Turkey based on remote sensing techniques. LANDSAT-TM and ASTER satellite data have been used in visual interpretation. The several techniques based on DEM have been applying to interpret in the determining of the tectonic features. The anaglyph image produced from L...

This study aims to analyze land use patterns using time-series satellite images of Seoul Metropolitan Area for the past 30 years, and present a macroscopic model for predicting future land use patterns using Markov Chain based probability model, and finally examine its applicability to Korea. Several Landsat MSS and TM images were used to acquire land-use change patterns and dynamic land-use ch...

soil salinity has been a large problem in arid and semi arid regions. preparation of such maps is useful for natural resource managers. old methods of preparing such maps require a lot of time and cost. multi-spectral remotely sensed dates due to the broad vision and repeating of these imageries is suitable for provide saline soil maps. this investigation is conducted to provide saline soil map...

Image registration is the process of matching two images so that corresponding coordinate points in the two images correspond to the same physical region of the scene being imaged. It’s an important operation needed in remote sensing that basically involves the identification of many control points. As the manual identification of control points may be time-consuming and tedious, automated tech...
