Multi-temporal analysis is one of the main applications of remote sensing, and Landsat imagery has been one of the main resources for many years. However, the moderate spatial resolution (30 m) restricts their use for high precision applications. In this paper, we simulate Landsat scenes to evaluate, by means of an exhaustive number of tests, a subpixel registration process based on phase corre...

Industrial forest plantations are expanding rapidly across Monsoon Asia and monitoring extent is critical for understanding environmental and socioeconomic impacts. In this study, new, multisensor imagery were evaluated and integrated to extract the strengths of each sensor for mapping plantation extent at regional scales. Two distinctly different landscapes with multiple plantation types were ...

Wetland inundation is crucial to the survival and prosperity of fauna and flora communities in wetland ecosystems. Even small changes in surface inundation may result in a substantial impact on the wetland ecosystem characteristics and function. This study presented a novel method for wetland inundation mapping at a subpixel scale in a typical wetland region on the Zoige Plateau, northeast Tibe...

Reservoirs are artificial environments built by humans, and the impacts of these environments are not completely known. Retention time and high nutrient availability in the water increases the eutrophic level. Eutrophication is directly correlated to primary productivity by phytoplankton. These organisms have an important role in the environment. However, high concentrations of determined speci...

The satellite-retrieved aerosol optical depth (AOD) provides unique estimation of loading across a continuous space. However, current AOD products with relatively coarse resolution (≥1 km) can hardly capture the details in urban areas large spatial gradients. To address this issue, here we developed novel retrieval algorithm for retrieving extra fine (30 m) from Landsat-8 satellite OLI images. ...

Abstract. Accurate and consistent Surface Reflectance estimation from optical remote sensor observations is directly dependant on the used atmospheric correction processor differences caused by it may have implications further processes, e.g. classification. Brazil a continental scale country with different biomes. Recently, new initiatives, as Data Cube Project, are emerging using free open da...

Land surface temperature (LST) is an essential factor in many areas like global climate change studies, urban land use/land cover, geo-/biophysical and also a key input for climate models. LANDSAT 8, the latest satellite from LANDSAT series, has given lot of possibilities to study the land processes using remote sensing. In this study an attempt has been made to estimate LST over Chittoor distr...
