In this paper, we perform multi-sensor multi-resolution data fusion of Landsat-5 TM bands (at 30 m spatial resolution) and multispectral bands of World View-2 (WV-2 at 2 m spatial resolution) through linear spectral unmixing model. The advantages of fusing Landsat and WV-2 data are two fold: first, spatial resolution of the Landsat bands increases to WV-2 resolution. Second, integration of data...

Monitoring grain protein content in large areas by remote sensing is very important for guiding graded harvest, and facilitates grain purchasing for processing enterprises. Wheat grain protein content (GPC) at maturity was measured and multitemporal Landsat TM and Landsat ETM + images at key stages in 2003, 2004 growth stages were acquired in this study. GPC was estimated with multi-temporal re...

The Cerro Grande/Los Alamos forest fire devastated over 43,000 acres (17,500 ha) of forested land, and destroyed over 200 structures in the town of Los Alamos and the adjoining Los Alamos National Laboratory. The need to measure the continuing impact of the fire on the local environment has led to the application of a number of remote sensing technologies. During and after the fire, remote-sens...

Historical efforts to gather and utilize Landsat Thematic Mapper radiometric information from Earth images and the sensor internal calibration systems were typically manual in nature and hence limited in terms of data sampling and subsequent analysis. Multiple government agencies and private corporations operated the Landsat TM missions over their respective lifetimes resulting in a sparse spor...

The availability of new generation multispectral sensors of the Landsat 8 and Sentinel-2 satellite platforms offers unprecedented opportunities for long-term high-frequency monitoring applications. The present letter aims at highlighting some potentials and challenges deriving from the spectral and spatial characteristics of the two instruments. Some comparisons between corresponding bands and ...
