Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) and land cover products are primary inputs for hydrologic models of surface runoff that affects infiltration, erosion, and evapotranspiration. DEM and land cover play important role in determining the runoff characteristics of specific catchment areas. Recently, at local level, a number of data sources have been used to derive land cover products for high resolut...

Land surface temperature (LST) images retrieved from the thermal infrared (TIR) band data of Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) have much lower spatial resolution than the MODIS visible and near-infrared (VNIR) band data. The coarse pixel scale of MODIS LST images (1000 m under nadir) have limited their capability in applying to many studies required high spatial resolution i...

The aim of this tutorial is to show how to easily create a Digital Elevation Model (DEM) and orthorectified image from free ASTER satellite imagery. PCI Geomatica OrthoEngine is the software package used to perform the processing. The imagery used in this tutorial is from Southern Scotland, around Loch Doon in the United Kingdom. These web sites provide contextual pictures of the area….

This paper provides a review of the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER), Advanced Land Imager (ALI), and Hyperion data and applications of the data as a tool for ore minerals exploration, lithological and structural mapping. Spectral information extraction from ASTER, ALI, and Hyperion data has great ability to assist geologists in all disciplines to map the d...

The objective of this study is to show the applicability of the genetic synthesis of the unsupervised artificial neural network ART2 (Adaptive Resonance Theory) in the classification of ASTER image for land use/land cover mapping. The area under study is located in northern Mato Grosso State, Brazil, and is characterized by a strong human occupation process, which caused intensive changes at th...

We present an experimental investigation of microtubule dynamic instability in three dimensions, based on laser lightsheet fluorescence microscopy. We introduce three-dimensional (3D) preparation of Xenopus laevis egg extracts in Teflon-based cylinders and provide algorithms for 3D image processing. Our approach gives experimental access to the intrinsic dynamic properties of microtubules and t...

Little research has been conducted on how differing spatial resolutions or classification techniques affect image-driven identification and categorization of slum neighborhoods in developing nations. This study assesses the correlation between satellite-derived land cover and census-derived socioeconomic variables in Accra, Ghana to determine whether the relationship between these variables is ...

In this study, we comparison of NDVI of ground measurement, atmospheric corrected ASTER LIB data and ASTER surface reflectance product (AST07) data to evaluate the accuracy of the ATCOR software atmospheric correction of Terra/ASTER data (Jun 30, 2002), using ground radiometric measurement data (ASD's FieldSpec® Pro). Our research selected the study area Sarobetsu Marsh located in coastal area ...
