nowadays, remote sensing comes under the title of management method for precision farming. for provision of the land cover and therefore land use map use must be made of satellite images. for an assessment of the type of agricultural crops it is required to have satellite images of high resolution. from specifications of the satellite images one is to produce maps with varied scales. in this re...

The main aim of the present study was to map of Urmia Lake water surface diminishing rates over a long-term period, and demonstrating the most recent surface of emerged salty alluvial plains. For this purpose, Landsat TM, ETM+ and OLI imageries, observing from 1984 to 2015, were progressively processed to generate most of the thematic models in tempo-spatial context. All multi-date satellite da...

Access to timely and accurate sudden oak death (SOD) location data is critical for SOD monitoring, management and research. Several websites (hereafter called the OakMapper sites) associated with sudden oak death monitoring efforts have been maintained with up-todate SOD location information for over five years, providing information and maps of the most current spatial and attribute data on Ph...

Using photos of captive Andean bears of known age and pedigree, and photos of wild Andean bear cubs < 6 months old, we evaluated the degree to which visual information may be used to estimate bears’ ages and assess their kinship. We demonstrate that the ages of Andean bear cubs ≤ 6 months old may be estimated from their size relative to their mothers with an average error of < 0.01 ± 13.2 days ...

Tryggo: Old Norse for Truth Ground truth mapping has its origins in the computer science pattern recognition and machine vision fields and is a major activity associated with remote sensing (i.e. satellite images). Additionally, ground truth maps not infrequently find use in the following plurality of settings: motion video road detection and tracking, motion tasks, geoscience applications, sen...
