ABSTRACT: Vietnam is one of the world’s largest rice exporting countries, and the fertile Mekong River Delta at the southern tip of Vietnam accounts for more than half of the country’s rice production. Unfortunately, a large part of rice crop growing time coincides with a rainy season, resulting in a limited number of cloud-free optical remote sensing images for rice monitoring. Synthetic apert...

Over the last years, active contour methods have become a basic tool in computer vision. They have proven to be efficient for various image processing applications, like reconstruction of the edges inside images or the tracing of image features. However, when applying the basic snake technique to synthetic aperture radar (SAR) remote sensing images, the reconstruction of edges may not be satisf...

Non-rigid image registration in ext racting deformation map for two satellite images of the same region before and after earthquake occurrence based on measure of intensity dissimilarity C(Ir, T(If)) can play a significant ro le in post hazard analysis. In this paper, we have proposed a novel image transformation and regional segmentation of the same visualized region by assigning displacement ...

Groundwater is a major source of fresh water in Tianjin Municipality, China. The average rate of groundwater extraction in this area for the last 20 years fluctuates between 0.6 and 0.8 billion cubic meters per year. As a result, significant subsidence has been observed in Tianjin. In this study, C-band Envisat (Environmental Satellite) ASAR (Advanced Synthetic Aperture Radar) images and L-band...

Accurate geolocation of SAR imagery enables not only precise overlays with other data sources in a common map geometry, but also normalisation for the systematic influence of terrain on image radiometry. We begin by describing our verifications of the geometric behaviour of ENVISAT ASAR products, including all image mode (IM), alternating polarisation (AP), and wide swath (WS) types: IMS, IMP, ...

In the framework of the European Space Agency Climate Change Initiative, a global, almost daily, soil moisture (SM) product is being developed from passive and active satellite microwave sensors, at a coarse spatial resolution. This study contributes to its validation by using finer spatial resolution ASAR Wide Swath and in situ soil moisture data taken over three sites in Ireland, from 2007 to...

In early 2019, an asar fish processing business appeared on Tanjung Marthafons Beach, Poka Village. The advantage of this is that it utilizes fresh cultivated fish, at the bottom and directly served for consumption. This requires basic data development sustainability. study aims to analyze added value Coast Cape in survey was conducted four units, with key respondents being owners. obtained thr...

The 14 November 2000, Ms8.1 Kokoxili earthquake is of huge influence in the world, which ruptured more than 400 km of the western end of the left-lateral Kunlun fault. The Kunlun fault is active and also after the heavy earthquake, it will definitely undergo an adjusting and balancing process. SAR Intereferometry (INSAR) is an effective measure for crustal deformation measurement even for minor...
