the present research was carried out with the aim of site-specific nitrogen fertilizer management, through aster imagery. a 23 ha corn field in pakdasht town in southern tehran province constituted the research area. plant sampling was carried out simultaneous with the passing by of the satellite sensor over, throughout the farm. a total of 53 pixels were selected through systematic randomized ...

Availability of high-resolution imagery, such as IKONOS (from Space Imaging Corp), has opened new possibilities for satellite-based mapping. This paper aims to share the practical experience of authors in using IKONOS imagery for mapping application in a production environment. Authors are involved in an IKONOS based land-cover mapping project jointly undertaken by Intergraph Philippines Corpor...

Minimization differences on Cellular Automata approach to predict new inundated area of hot mudflow on LUSI mud eruption disaster which occurred in Sidoarjo area is proposed. There are three characteristics of hot mudflow that is unique such as sur face material changes rapidly, surface temperature changes quickly and dike is constructed to avoid spill over. There are penetrations of hot mudflo...

This paper aims to retrieve temporal high-resolution LAI derived by fusing MOD15 products (1 km resolution), field-measured LAI and ASTER reflectance (15-m resolution). Though the inversion of a physically based canopy reflectance model using high-resolution satellite data can produce high-resolution LAI products, the obstacle to producing temporal products is obvious due to the low temporal re...

To date, prevention of natural disasters is only rarely achieved, and such events continue to pose an increasing threat to life and property. Especially following earthquakes, there is a need for rapid, accurate and reliable damage information in the critical postevent hours. Remote sensing technology can provide valuable information for response activities due to potentially high spatialtempor...

Natural hazards and land management issues can benefit nowadays from the increasing availability of free, high-resolution satellite imagery that opens the way to fine scale detailed investigations. In high elevation catchments the analysis of vegetation dynamics deserves particular attention since little climatic modifications can be amplified in such fragile systems. For the same reasons, the ...

Two remote sensing methods, satellite altimetry and 4D-Var assimilation of satellite imagery, are used to compute surface velocity fields in the Black Sea region. Surface currents derived from the two methods are compared for several cases with intense mesoscale and large-scale dynamics during low wind conditions. Comparison shows that the obtained results coincide well quantitatively and quali...

Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) including Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer-Global Digital Elevation Model (ASTER GDEM), Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM), and Global Multi-resolution Terrain Elevation Data 2010 (GMTED2010) are freely available for nearly the entire earth’s surface. DEMs that are usually subject to errors need to be evaluated using reference e...
