nowadays, remote sensing comes under the title of management method for precision farming. for provision of the land cover and therefore land use map use must be made of satellite images. for an assessment of the type of agricultural crops it is required to have satellite images of high resolution. from specifications of the satellite images one is to produce maps with varied scales. in this re...

In this paper we introduce the use of semi-supervised support vector machines for rainfall estimation using images obtained from visible and infrared NOAA satellite channels. Two experiments were performed, one involving traditional SVM and other using semi-supervised SVM (SVM). The SVM approach outperforms SVM in our experiments, with can be seen as a good methodology for rainfall satellite es...

This paper describes our ongoing project under international research collaboration between Japan (National Institute of Informatics) and Thailand (Asian Institute of Technology) for the collection of typhoon image data and the establishment of typhoon information databases. Statistics on past typhoon records reveal that approximately one thirds of the typhoons formed in the Northwest Pacific b...

most weather stations in iran have been installed in arid areas, far from agricultural lands. therefore, the data gathered are not valid for estimating reference evapotranspiration. the advantage of satellite imagery is the coverage of a wide surface region from where information regarding agricultural areas can be obtained. according to this issue, researchers have converted the penman monteit...

Analyzing temporal series of satellite data for regional scale studies demand high accuracy in calibration and precise geo-rectification at higher spatial resolution. The Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) sensor aboard the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) series of satellites provide daily observations for the last 30 years at a nominal resolution of 1.1 km ...

background and objectives: food security has been most important concern of the mankind on the earth. on the other hand, agricultural productions have always been face by risk probability in the case of weather and changes in international markets, however this risk probability never undeleted completely, but could be minimized that by pre-harvesting yield estimation. in this study, different m...
