For decades, aerial photographs have been the only source of very high spatial resolution data for coral reef researchers. With the launch of the Ikonos satellite in 1999, imagery with a 4 m spatial resolution in multispectral mode can now be combined with historical aerial photographs for change detection. We demonstrate this potential by combining two aerial photographs (1981 and 1992) and an...

در این مقاله، به‌منظور رفع برخی محدودیت‌های شناسایی ساختمان تصاویر چندطیفی، از دادة SAR به‌منزلة مکمل استفاده می‌شود. روش پیشنهادی، برای استفادة هم‌زمان اطلاعات مفید رادار و استراتژی مبتنی‌بر تلفیق تصاویر، با هدف ساختمان، مطرح همچنین، ازآن‌جاکه انتخاب ویژگی نقش بسزایی طبقه‌بندی عوارض دارد، اغلب روش‌های مرسوم رایج زمینه، مانند الگوریتم ژنتیک، نیازمند داده‌های آموزشی‌اند؛ اما دردسترس‌نبودن همیشگی...

Remote sensing has been used mostly to produce analyses on different aspects and phenomena concerning territory. The approach is not different from the one employed when analysing maps in the sense that analysis depends on the nature of data, maps and satellite images being two different sources of spatial data. Obviously, analysis based on cartographic data is different from the one based on s...

This paper describes the processing of IKONOS and QUICKBIRD imagery of two different datasets in Switzerland for analyzing the geometric accuracy potential of these images for 3D point positioning, and orthoimage and DSM generation. The first dataset consists of panchromatic and multispectral IKONOS and QUICKBIRD images covering the region of Geneva. In the second area around Thun with a height...

Abstract The acquisition of bathymetric data in shallower waters is difficult to attain using traditional survey methods because the areas investigate may not be accessible hydrographic vessels, due risk grounding. For this reason, use satellite detection depth (satellite-derived bathymetry, SDB) constitutes a particularly useful and also economically advantageous alternative. In fact, approach...
