Title of Thesis: MAPPING SNOW COVER IN SIBERIA USING GIS AND REMOTE SENSING Aditya Saini, Master of Science, 2003 Thesis directed by: Associate Professor Kaye L. Brubaker Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering The seasonal snowpack dynamics of the Siberian mountains and plains play a critical role in the freshwater fluxes of northern rivers into the Arctic Ocean. This study is part o...

Automatic identification and localization of cartographic objects in aerial and satellite images have gained increasing attention in recent years in digital photogrammetry and remote sensing. Although the automatic extraction of man made objects in essence is still an unresolved issue, the man made objects can be extracted from aerial photos and satellite images. Recently, the high-resolution s...

The automatic interpretation of aerial and satellite images is one of the main important research topics in photogrammetry and image analysis. The aim of the interpretation is the recognition or verification of objects in images. The quality of the interpretation results depends among other factors on the information content of the input data. The more information in the input data the easier i...

PARADIS stands for a Prototype for Assisting Rational Activities in Demining using Images from Satellites. The aim of this project is to improve the planning of humanitarian demining campaigns using Remote Sensing data and GIS techniques. In this context, a user interface has been developed in ArcView GIS to integrate the tools needed for the management of the campaigns. The interface is built ...

Landslides are amongst the most damaging natural hazards in the mountainous terrain like Himalaya. The study of landslides has drawn worldwide attention mainly due to increasing awareness of socio-economic impacts of landslides. Remote sensing images provide many useful land use information to combine in a GIS environment with other spatial factors influencing the occurrence of landslide. The l...

The dynamic link among the Geographic Information System (GIS) ArcView, the dynamic statistical graphics (DSG) program XGobi, and the statistical computing environment XploRe has been successfully used to explore and analyze all kinds of spatially referenced data | from forest health data over precipitation data to precision agricultural data. In this paper, we will focus on the exploration of ...

Satellite image time series provide valuable information on the Earth’s dynamics at a variety of spatio-temporal scales. Progress on information and communication technologies has greatly improved the access to such time series. For instance, the GEONETCast system freely distributes near real time raw satellite images and higher level products to end-users all over the word. This explains the u...
