This report reviews briefly the characteristics of high spectral resolution satellite infrared remote sensing. The paper also describes the use of EOS-Aqua AIRS measurements to characterize the surface properties important for IR thermal emission. Infrared rapid transmittance model is used for the sensitivity study of surface parameters and the atmospheric parameters from lower troposphere. Six...

Hyperspectral remote-sensing techniques offer an efficient procedure for mineral mapping, with a unique hyperspectral remote-sensing fingerprint in the longwave infrared spectral region enabling identification of the most abundant minerals in the continental crust—quartz and feldspars. This ability was examined by acquiring airborne data with the AisaOWL sensor over the Makhtesh Ramon area in I...

In this work, several commercial high-emissivity coatings have been characterized in terms of emissivity, chemical composition and dielectric properties as a function temperature, under microwave irradiation. Accurate knowledge their response exposure to microwaves provides new crucial information about practical usability for non-contact temperature measurements environments. Due high metallic...

SUMMARY One of the main parameter for urban heat island mapping is the land cover information. Satellite data were used to map the land cover over the study area, CyberJaya. Remotely sensed data were processed using pixel based and object based image processing techniques. Most traditional classification approaches are based exclusively on the digital number of the pixel itself. Thereby only th...

Transition probabilities governing the interaction of energy packets and matter are derived that allow Monte Carlo NLTE transfer codes to be constructed without simplifying the treatment of line formation. These probabilities are such that the Monte Carlo calculation asymptotically recovers the local emissivity of a gas in statistical and radiative equilibrium. Numerical experiments with one-po...

Idunn Mons is a shield volcano located in the Imdr Regio large igneous rise, Venusian equivalent to hotspot geologic province on Earth. Recent studies using emissivity data from ESA's Venus Express Mission, together with experimental laboratory alteration of volcanic materials conditions, suggest that possible site for very recent or even ongoing activity. In this work we carried out mapping ch...

Thermal stealth and camouflage have been intensively studied for blending objects with their surroundings against remote thermal image detection. Adaptive control of infrared emissivity has explored extensively as a promising way stealth, but it still requires an additional feedback control. Passive modulation emissivity, however, remained great challenge which precise engineering over wide tem...
