This paper presents a new type of gesture for identifying spatiotemporal patterns: the analog gesture. Analog gestures can be characterized by some features (speed, acceleration, direction, and angle) which describe the dynamic morphology of the gesture. At first, we detail interactive tasks that should benefit for the use of analog gestures. Then we give a state of the art concerning gesture r...

در مطالعات زمین‌شناسی و کانی‌شناسی، وجود پوشش‌ گیاهی سالم خشک پیکسل‌های حاوی اطلاعات طیفی اجتناب‌ناپذیر است. بنابراین، بازیابی حد زیرپیکسل، مانند برآورد میزان حضور یک کانی پیکسل از تصاویر سنجش دور ابرطیفی، مسئله‌ای مهم محسوب می‌شود. این پژوهش، روش عمق پیوستار اصلاح‌شدة اثر پوشش (VCCD)، برای کاهش تخمین کانی‌های هدف، با استفاده داده‌های طیف‌سنجی، آزمایشگاهی کانی‌شناسی هایپریون (Hyperion) اصلاح من...

We evaluated the accuracy and sensitivity of six previously published reflectance based algorithms to retrieve Phycocyanin (PC) concentration in inland waters. We used field radiometric and pigment data obtained from two study sites located in the United States and Brazil. All the algorithms targeted the PC absorption feature observed in the water reflectance spectra between 600 and 625 nm. We ...

The area under investigation is the Bau gold mining district in the State of Sarawak, East Malaysia, on the island of Borneo. It has tropical climate with limited bedrock exposures and the other constraints imposed in the environment. Bau is a gold field with Carlin style gold deposits. Geological analyses coupled with remote sensing data were used to detect structure elements and hydrothermall...

Forest fires constitute a natural disturbance factor and an agent of environmental change with local to global impacts on Earth’s processes and functions. Accurate knowledge of forest fuel extent and properties can be an effective component for assessing the impacts of possible future wildfires on ecosystem services. Our study aims to evaluate and compare the spectral and spatial information in...

In this paper we address the following question: do the recent advances in the orbit determination of the major natural satellites of Saturn obtained with the analysis of the first data sets from the Cassini mission allow to detect the general relativistic gravitoelectric orbital precessions of the mean longitudes of such moons? The answer is still negative. The present-day down-track accuracy ...

The Remote Sensing Group at the University of Arizona has been using ground targets for the in-flight vicarious calibration of airborne and satellite sensors since the early 1980s. Targets such as Railroad Valley Playa in north central Nevada and White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico have proven to be useful for this work. This paper presents the results from multiple vicarious calibration ex...

Pleistocene to present evaporitic lacustrine sediments in Lake Magadi, East African Rift Valley, Kenya were studied and mapped using spectral remote sensing methods. This approach incorporated surface mineral mapping using space-borne hyperspectral Hyperion imagery together with laboratory analysis, including visible, near-infrared diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (VNIR) measurements and X-ray ...
