Modern information and communications technologies (ICTs) are now so feature-rich and widely available that they can be used to "capture," or collect and transmit, health data from remote settings. Electronic data capture can reduce the time necessary to notify public health authorities, and provide important baseline information. A number of electronic health data capture systems based on spec...

Remote Sensing has started to institute a “Best Paper” award to recognize the most outstanding papers in the area of remote sensing techniques, design and applications published in Remote Sensing. We are pleased to announce the first “Remote Sensing Best Paper Award” for the year 2014. Nominations were selected by the Editor-in-Chief and selected editorial board members from among all the paper...

Although there are several parameters of interest in the quantitative aspects of vegetative remote sensing, leaf area index (LAI) has been one of the most useful and important parameters to characterize the vegetation activities from local to global scales. LAI, defined as the sum of the leaf area per unit ground area, can be used to measure the activities (photosynthesis, transpiration, and ev...

in the recent years, human activities have led to changes in land use and land cover, consequently, these changes lead to the structure and function of ecosystems. spatial-temporal change detection of land use is important to understand the relationships and interactions between human and natural resources and to make appropriate decisions due to changes in land use and land cover occurs in bro...

This paper presents a performance study of the iSCSI protocol in the context of remote mirroring. We first integrate our caching technology called DCD (disk caching disk) into a standard iSCSI target device to form a high performance storage system for mirroring purpose. Performance measurements are then carried out using this storage system as well as standard iSCSI targets as mirroring device...

Different methods have been developed to estimate evapotranspiration from remote sensing data, from empirical approaches such as the simplified relationship to complex methods based on remote sensing data assimilation along with SVAT models. The simplified relationship has been applied from small spatial scale using airborne TIR images to continental scale with NOAA data. Assimilation procedure...
