More than forty-five years after the assassination of U.S. President Kennedy theories continue to circulate suggesting that the accused assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald, acted as part of a larger conspiracy. It has been argued, for example, that incriminating photographs of Oswald were manipulated, and hence evidence of a broader plot. We describe a detailed 3-D analysis of the Oswald photos to dete...

With the increasing threat of wildfires globally, improving availability accurate, spatially explicit fuel type information is critical for fire behavior predictions that can support management decisions to mitigate hazards. Since mapping surface types using airborne or spaceborne sensors relies on ground truth data from laborious field assessments, here we propose a novel proximate sensing-bas...

Rangeland plant communities of the Intermountain West differ in their ecology and management requirements. Successful management of extensive areas at plant community-level resolution first requires an efficient, cost-effective means of plant community classification and mapping. We evaluated the influence of image acquisition date and satellite imaging system on the accuracy of plant community...

The wealth of satellite imagery available in web mapping service applications such as Google Maps, which now provides high-resolution satellite images from many locations around the Earth, has opened the appealing perspective of performing information extraction and mining tasks via the Google Maps application programming interface (API). In fact, the introduction of Google's mapping engine (th...

Clinopodium debile species was collected from the oak forest in north-northeast of Yolçatı village (Bingöl / Turkey) and it given a new record for Flora Turkey. Description, detail photos, ecology distribution maps this are also presented.

Quantitative identification of physical changes, developments and dynamic position of urban green space is considered as the first step in its planning. By means of the aerial photos taken in 1956, 1974, and 1994 as well as the Quick Bird satellite image captured in 2006, this study has dealt with changes in per capita green space in Khorramabad during these years. First, geometric corrections ...

The 25 April 2015 Mw 7.8 Gorkha earthquake caused more than 8000 fatalities and widespread building damage in central Nepal. The Italian Space Agency’s COSMO–SkyMed Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) satellite acquired data over Kathmandu area four days after the earthquake and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency’s Advanced Land Observing Satellite-2 SAR satellite for larger area nine days after...
