Recently land-use change has been the main concern for worldwide environment change and is being used by city and regional planners to design sustainable cities. Nakuru in the central Rift Valley of Kenya has undergone rapid urban growth in last decade. This paper focused on urban growth using multi-sensor satellite imageries and explored the potential benefits of combining data from optical se...

This paper presents a verification processor, developed under ESA contract, for the generation of polarimetric, interferometric and polarimetric-interferometric geocoded products derived from SAR data obtained from the ALOS PALSAR instrument. The processor, developed with a modular approach, contains the following main elements: Phase-preserving fine resolution processor; Phase-preserving ScanS...

Hospital length of stay is an important performance indicator for hospital management and a key measure of efficiency in health care. However, it is difficult to analyze as most distributions pertaining to hospital length of stay are asymmetric due to outliers. The objective of the present study is to suggest a new method to estimate average length of stay (ALOS). Data on LOS in the year 2010 f...

The study presents the results of interferometric processing and analysis ALOS-1/2 Sentinel-1 SAR data acquired over landslide territory Bureya river bank in 2006–2018. novelty is that, for first time, joint measurements movement with meteorological information time series SRTM-X, ALOS-1, TanDEM-X digital elevation models were performed. allowed us to make a conclusion that was evolving within ...

Space-borne synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data have been widely used to produce ice concentration (type), ice motion, ice charting (operational route planning), and iceberg detection. Recent availability of polarimetric SAR sensors (e.g., TerraSAR-X, RADARSAT-2, and ALOS PALSAR) enables us to explore the full potential of polarimetric data to derive sea ice information. Among the many sea ice ...
